Product documentation
The manufacturer’s product information, the safety data sheet source and the standard each vial is released against — linked to their publishers, not copied.
Two questions decide whether a vial can be trusted: what the manufacturer says it is, and whether the vial in your hand is the one the manufacturer released. This page answers the first, for each manufacturer-labelled presentation we stock, by linking the manufacturer’s own documents. The second is answered by the lot number and expiry printed on the vial, which we never cover, and by the seller being a company you can look up, which is at the bottom of this page.
These are diluents or solvents, not ready-to-administer medicines. Nothing here is advice about preparation or use; the product information governs that, under qualified healthcare-professional direction.

Own-label bacteriostatic water
The Aus BAC Supply own-label vial in 10, 20 and 30 mL is a separate line and the documents above do not apply to it. Its label states its contents — bacteriostatic water with 0.9% benzyl alcohol, multiple-dose — and a warning panel ruling out injection, infusion, human or veterinary administration and ingestion. Every vial carries a printed lot number and expiry. The label text is reproduced in full on its product page.
The standards
Both manufacturer presentations are labelled to a monograph of the United States Pharmacopeia–National Formulary. A monograph fixes identity, sterility, preservative content, particulate limits, container-closure integrity and a pH range; the manufacturer releases each batch against it, and the lot number on the vial is the reference to that release. What USP on a label does and does not guarantee is set out in what USP means on a vial.
Traceability: what we never do
The documents above describe the vial as the manufacturer sealed it. They stop applying the moment a vial is opened, decanted or relabelled, which is why our role is deliberately narrow:
- Decant, dilute or transfer solution between containers
- Repackage, relabel or sticker over manufacturer labelling
- Compound, fill, filter or sterilise anything
- Open a sealed vial for any reason, including to build a multi-vial pack
- Give dosing, preparation or administration advice
How to read the lot, expiry and label statements on a delivered vial is covered in how to read a vial label, and the full supplier checklist is on sourcing and integrity.

Common questions
Do you supply a certificate of analysis (CoA) with an order?
No. We are a retailer of finished, sealed manufacturer presentations, not the manufacturer, so we do not issue release documents. What we can point you to is the manufacturer's own product information for the exact presentation, linked above, and the lot number and expiry printed on the vial you receive, which is the thread back to the manufacturer's release of that batch.
Where is the safety data sheet?
Pfizer publishes safety data sheets for Hospira presentations through its product safety portal, linked above, and issues them per product on request. We link to the source rather than host a copy so the version you read is the current one.
What does the USP monograph mean for the vial?
A monograph in the United States Pharmacopeia fixes what the product must contain and what it must not: identity, sterility, preservative content, particulate limits, container-closure integrity and a pH range. A presentation labelled to that monograph is released by its manufacturer against those tests. The monograph is the specification; the product information is the manufacturer's statement of the product; the lot number is the link between a specific vial and the release of its batch.
Is the own-label bacteriostatic water covered by the same documents?
No. The Aus BAC Supply own-label vial is a separate line. Its label states its contents (bacteriostatic water, 0.9% benzyl alcohol, multiple-dose) and a warning panel ruling out injection, infusion, administration and ingestion, and each vial carries a lot number and expiry. The label text is reproduced on its product page. It is not a Hospira presentation and the documents above do not apply to it.
