RL Poole, L Schiff, SR Hintz, A Wong… - Journal of pediatric …, 2010 - journals.lww.com
Materials and Methods: Samples from 40 neonatal patient PN solutions were selected for
sampling and Al content determination. Samples were also taken from 16 manufacturer's
component products used in PN formulation. All of the samples were sent to Mayo
Laboratories for Al content measurement. The calculated Al concentrations in PN samples
were determined from the manufacturer's labeled content. Results: Both measured and
calculated Al concentrations exceeded the FDA recommended safe limit of< 5 μg· kg− 1 …
