Venofer Clinic Stocking Checklist (Iron Sucrose)

By Kevin Claussen

Venofer Clinic Stocking Checklist (Iron Sucrose)

Iron infusion days fail more often from missing disposables and gate surprises than from forgetting the drug brand name. Use this checklist to stock Venofer (iron sucrose) SKUs alongside bags, sets, and PPE—with Rx gates explicit.

USA MedPremium does not sell DEA controlled substances. Venofer is an Rx injectable—credential before you advertise infusion slots.

Preferred Venofer USAMP#s (all three)

  • USAMP#: 24328260 · Catalog focus: Venofer iron sucrose 20 mg/mL SDV 5 mL · PDP: Open
  • USAMP#: 68141221 · Catalog focus: Venofer iron sucrose 20 mg/mL SDV 10 mL · PDP: Open
  • USAMP#: 30208005 · Catalog focus: Venofer iron sucrose complex 20 mg/mL injection · PDP: Open

Pick primary/alternate with the medical director based on vial size and packaging—not unofficial “best seller” folklore.

Pre-credential checklist

  • Formulary lists iron sucrose / Venofer with approved USAMP#s
  • Rx account cleared for ship-to states (licensing)
  • Each PDP gate reconfirmed this quarter
  • Receiving log fields include lot/expiry/NDC
  • Apply completed if new account

Fluids and sets lane (may be Rx-gated for bags)

  • Q8001 NaCl 500 mL and/or Q8000 NaCl 1,000 mL per protocol
  • Primary administration sets matching pump/gravity SOP
  • Catheters, securement, needle-free connectors, sharps
  • PPE (nitrile mix), underpads, spill response materials

Infusion-day kit board

  • Zone: Drug fridge/Rx closet · Stock: Primary + alternate Venofer USAMP# · Owner: Pharmacy interface
  • Zone: Fluids · Stock: Protocol bag size · Owner: Materials
  • Zone: Access cart · Stock: Catheter gauge mix, tourniquets, dressings · Owner: Nursing lead
  • Zone: Admin · Stock: Anaphylaxis/response SOP hardware per facility policy · Owner: Clinical leadership
  • Zone: Desk · Stock: Lot log, preference cards · Owner: Charge nurse / materials

Clinical emergency medication policy is a medical/pharmacy decision—procurement only ensures the listed SKUs exist and are in date.

Backorder play

  • Activate approved alternate USAMP# among the three above.
  • Do not silently substitute a different iron salt without medical-director approval.
  • Delay elective slots rather than improvise pedigree.

Common stocking failures

  • Advertising “iron infusion” before Rx account clearance.
  • Deep Venofer inventory with shallow set/catheter pars.
  • Mixing 5 mL and 10 mL vials in one unlabeled bin.
  • Treating NaCl bags as supplies because they sit near tubing in a photo.

Braun EXCEL vs Baxter VIAFLEX (volume equivalents we supply)

USA MedPremium stocks both B. Braun EXCEL and Baxter VIAFLEX 0.9% NaCl bag systems. Match by bag volume, not case-for-case packs:

  • Volume: 1,000 mL · Braun EXCEL (example): Q8000 · Baxter VIAFLEX (example): 2B1324X · Pack note: Cases often differ (e.g., CS/12 vs CS/14)—order by bags needed, not equal case counts
  • Volume: 500 mL · Braun EXCEL (example): Q8001 · Baxter VIAFLEX (example): 2B1323Q · Pack note: Verify live case pack; compare per 500 mL bag

Standardize one container family per set/pump SOP when possible. Either brand may be Rx-gated—confirm each PDP. Do not treat a case of Q8000 as interchangeable 1:1 with a case of 2B1324X without reconciling bag counts.
