Media-fill simulation tests in manual and robotic aseptic preparation of injection solutions in syringes

Conclusion Extensive media-fill tests simulating manual and automated preparation of ready-to-use cytotoxic injection solutions revealed the same level of sterility for both procedures. The results of supplemental environmental controls confirmed that the aseptic procedures are well controlled. As there was no difference in the microbial contamination rates of the media preparations depending on the extent of cleaning and disinfection of the robot, the results were used to adapt the respective standard operating procedures.
