I've heard mixed practices on whether medications that are reconstituted at the bedside by the nurse should always require a filter.

Infusion Nurses Society and ISMP do not have any specific requirements to utilize filters simply because a medication is reconstituted. However, some organizations may use a filter as an additional precaution to prevent administration of solid drug. Of course, the expectation is that all the drug powder is in solution when the drug is given, but this can be missed.

Do you currently require nurses to use IV filters at your organization when drugs are reconstituted at bedside? If so, any literature references would be appreciated.
