Key to the work of the pharmaceutical chemist, this unique reference helps identify the sources of contamination in medicinal and pharmaceutical products and medical devices. Divided into three parts,\u003ci\u003e Sources of Contamination in Medicinal Products and Medical Devices\u003c\/i\u003e covers chemical, microbiological, and physical (particulate matter) contamination, including those originating from sterilization procedures.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs compelling as a medical documentary, the book sheds light on how impurities and contaminants can enter the human body transported via a specific product or treatment. Focusing on only those medicinal products and medical devices that may lead to exposure to contaminants harmful to human health, the book offers a comprehensive, systematic look at the entire universe of medical contamination:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eChemical contaminants including residual solvents, catalyst residuals, and genotoxic impurities in active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiagnostic imaging agents (i.e., radiopharmaceuticals and contrast agents)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMicrobiological and endotoxin contamination involving single and multiple dose products, medical devices, and biofilms\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eContamination from sterilization procedures, residuals from radiation sterilization, ionizing radiation on packaging materials and medical devices\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMedicinal gases and volatile anesthetics\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBiopharmaceuticals including recombinant DNA technology products\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExtractables and leachables from containers made of glass, plastics, and metal\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eEach section of the book contains information on what contaminants could be expected in a particular product, and how they were generated and reached that product.
