Spanish term

frasco flotante

Spanish to English Medical Medical: Pharmaceuticals Clinical trials
"los pacientes de este estudio cuentan con un frasco flotante adicional de medicamento en estudio"

This is referring to an additional bottle of medicine patients can use if their visits are delayed (like an emergency supply) but I am unsure of how best to translate "frasco flotante" - spare? temporary?
Proposed translations (English)
4 spare/additional/extra bottle

backup? There must be a specific term used in clinical trials to describe this type of spare/extra bottle of medication ... but I don't know it. Seems like "backup" might work, unless someone can find the exact term used in this context.

spare/additional/extra bottle

It's the same idea as "float" in English.
