We have a request from our nuc med department to provide a vial of 23.4% sodium chloride for QC testing on one of their kits. Is anyone else doing this? If not, what are you using as an alternative (kit or QC method)?

Additional information:

Good morning,

Our facility is a primary stroke center receiving stroke patients in the ER. We currently prepare and dispense 23.4% NaCl in pharmacy and deliver to the ER when a stroke patient arrives. The ER physicians are requesting storage of 23.4% NaCl in the ER Acudose. If your facility is a primary stroke center, are you storing this in the Acudose? What safety precautions do you have in place? Any advice on your safety measures is appreciated.
