How to verify you're getting genuine Hospira:
- NDC: 0409-1966-02 on box and vial
- Vial: Clear glass, white plastic flip-top that snaps off, not screw cap
- Label: “Hospira, Inc., Lake Forest, IL 60045 USA – A Pfizer Company” + Lot/Exp printed, not sticker
- Solution: Clear, no particles – contains 0.9% benzyl alcohol, not just sterile water
- Track and trace: Ask distributor for pedigree / lot invoice that matches vial lot
What to Check When Your Hospira Bacteriostatic Water Arrives
When your order arrives, we recommend taking a few minutes to inspect the vial before accepting it for use.
1. Check the packaging
Make sure the shipping package has not been significantly damaged, opened, or tampered with.
Check that the vial’s packaging is intact and undamaged.
If the vial arrived with a damaged seal, cracked container, leaking liquid, or other significant packaging damage, do not use it.
2. Check the product name and vial size
For the Hospira 30 mL product, the label should identify it as Bacteriostatic Water for Injection, USP and indicate 30 mL Multiple-dose. Official labeling also identifies it as being for drug-diluent use only.
3. Check the NDC and product information
Compare the NDC, product description, manufacturer/distributor information, lot number, and expiration date with the product information provided with your order.
For the Hospira 30 mL presentation, the official labeling lists NDC 0409-3977-01 for the individual vial and NDC 0409-3977-03 for a tray of 25 vials. However, NDCs can differ when a product has been legitimately repackaged or relabeled, so an NDC difference alone does not establish that a vial is counterfeit.
4. Check the lot number and expiration date
Verify that the LOT and EXP information is clearly printed and readable. Keep these details with your purchase records.
If you have concerns about a lot number, you can compare it against current manufacturer or FDA recall information. For example, Hospira previously issued a recall involving a specific 30 mL lot, demonstrating why lot verification is important.
5. Inspect the liquid
Hold the vial up to a light and inspect the solution.
The official labeling states that it should be used only if the solution is clear and the container/seal is intact and undamaged. Parenteral products should also be inspected for particulate matter and discoloration before administration.
Do not use a vial if you notice:
Visible particles or foreign matter
Unexpected discoloration
Cloudiness
Leakage
A damaged or compromised container
6. Photograph the product when it arrives
For your records, we recommend taking clear photographs of:
The front and back of the vial
The lot number
The expiration date
The NDC/barcode
The outer packaging
Any visible damage
These photographs can be particularly useful if you need to contact the seller, distributor, manufacturer, or healthcare professional about a product-quality concern.
7. Store it according to the official labeling
The current Hospira labeling specifies storage at 20–25°C (68–77°F), unless the applicable product labeling says otherwise.
