What is the shelf life and storage requirement of Arista AH?

• A. 3-year shelf life; refrigerated
• B. 5-year shelf life; controlled room temperature — no refrigeration required
• C. 2-year shelf life; room temperature
• D. 7-year shelf life; freezing

Answer: (B)

Arista AH is designed to remain stable and effective when stored at controlled room temperature, and it carries a five-year shelf life from the manufacture date. This labeling means you don’t need refrigeration, which simplifies storage in the OR and reduces condensation risks that cold storage can introduce. The five-year period reflects the product’s stability when kept in its original sealed container out of direct sunlight and moisture. Shorter shelf lives or requirements for refrigeration would not align with how the product is formulated and packaged. Always check the expiration date on the package and store it in a cool, dry place away from light.
