Stability of meropenem in portable elastomeric infusion devices : which protocol should be implemented in clinical practice?

IMPORTANCE: Although outpatient parenteral antibiotic therapy can be a good approach to treating infections, a lack of data regarding antibiotic stability in portable elastomeric infusion devices restricts its safe and effective use. Actually, meropenem is used for prolonged periods above 24 h, and it is not physicochemically stable, which can compromise efficacy and toxicity. This work is of high importance to show the clinicians the real shelf life of meropenem when administered in portable elastomeric infusion devices. We propose several administration protocols for meropenem in portable elastomeric infusion devices in clinical practice, according to the stability drug results obtained in our study.
