Authentic Hospira 30 mL vials can be verified through several manufacturing-specific markers. The flip-top cap is produced via a blow-fill-seal process with distinct beveled edges. The lot number and expiry date are heat-stamped directly into the plastic vial body—not applied as an inkjet label—making them resistant to abrasion. The printed label carries the Pfizer/Hospira trade dress with NDC 0409-3977-03 in machine-readable GS1-128 barcode format.
Unopened vials should be labd at controlled room temperature, 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F). Protect from light. USP <797> and CDC multi-dose vial policy require that once a vial is first punctured, it must be date-labeled and discarded within 28 days, regardless of the remaining volume. The bacteriostatic agent does not provide indefinite protection against contamination.

Ryan –
I recently purchased the 30ml Bacteriostatic Water from bacteriostaticwaterlab and I’m very happy with the purchase. The bottle arrived with authentic Hospira packaging — everything looked exactly as expected, with clear labeling and no signs of tampering.
What stood out most was the batch number printed on the bottle, which I was able to verify independently. That gave me real confidence that this was a legitimate, unaltered product and not a repackaged or counterfeit item, which is unfortunately common with this type of product online.
The bottle was well-sealed, shipping was handled carefully, and the product itself has been exactly as described. For anyone hesitant about ordering bacteriostatic water online, this seller delivers the real thing. Will be ordering from bacteriostaticwaterlab again.
