ABSTRACT
The influence of mono(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (MEHP) and stearates on the migration of di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and epoxidized vegetable oils (EVO) in soft polyvinyl chloride infusion fluid bags during agitation has been investigated by gas-liquid chromatography. Normal saline, isotonic glucose and Ringer acetate from 3 different manufacturers were investigated. A covariation was observed between the MEHP concentration in the solution and the pH. The MEHP concentration was not influenced by agitation. There was no correlation between the MEHP concentration in the solution and the migration of EVO and DEHP, or between the stearate concentration and the EVO and DEHP migration.
