| 108 | The best documented example is an outbreak of hepatitis C at an endoscopy clinic in Nevada, investigated in 2007 and 2008. Investigators concluded that reuse of syringes on individual patients, combined with the use of single-use propofol vials for multiple patients, transmitted hepatitis C virus; the investigation led to notification of thousands of former patients for testing. The event is cited in infection-control literature as the canonical demonstration that the syringe, not the vial, is the proximate vector.{{r|fischer2010}} | 108 | The best documented example is an outbreak of hepatitis C at an endoscopy clinic in Nevada, investigated in 2007 and 2008.

| 111 | Peptides distributed for research use are supplied as lyophilised solids and are reconstituted by the recipient, and the resulting solution is generally withdrawn from repeatedly. The compendial position on such a preparation is unambiguous and worth stating precisely. | 113 | Peptides distributed for research use are supplied as lyophilised solids and are reconstituted by the recipient, and the resulting solution is generally withdrawn from repeatedly.
