Rotavac 5D Caution For Usage

Incompatibilities: This product should not be mixed in same dropper/syringe with any other medicinal products/active immunizing agents.
The Vaccine Vial Monitor7 (VVM7): Vaccine Vial Monitor7 (VVM7) dot is a part of the label on ROTAVAC 5D vials. This is a time-temperature sensitive dot that provides an indication of the cumulative heat to which the vial has been exposed. It warns the end user when exposure to heat is likely to have degraded the vaccine beyond an acceptable level.
Vaccine Vial Monitors: USE: Square is lighter than outer circle.
The color of the inner square of the VVMs begins with a shade that is lighter than the outer circle and continues to darken with time and/or exposure to heat.
DO NOT USE: Square matches circle.
Square is darker than circle.
Once a vaccine has reached or exceeded the discard point, the colour of the inner square will be the same colour or darker than the outer circle.
Inform the supervisor.
Cumulative heat exposure over time.
The interpretation of VVM7 is simple. Focus on the central square. Its colour will change progressively. As long as the colour of this square is lighter than the colour of the ring, the vaccine can be used. As soon as the colour of the central square is the same colour as the ring or of a darker colour than the ring, the vial should be discarded.
