Intrathecal analgesia has increased over the past two decades in various indications: chronic refractory pain from cancerous or non-cancerous origins, spasticity. These different indications involve the use of different molecules alone or in combination such as morphine, ropivacaine, bupivacaine, fentanyl, sufentanil, clonidine, baclofen and ziconotide. Pump refills are prepared at the pharmacy under a laminar flow hood. An analytical control should be carried out before release of the preparation. A new method of analytical control by chromatography has been developed and validated according to the International Conference on Harmonization guideline in order to secure the production process.
