Use only with Trima Accel red blood cell (RBC) apheresis collections. [See Dosage and Administration (2).]
ADDITIVE SOLUTION FORMULA 3 (AS-3) is connected to the tubing set used for an apheresis RBC collection procedure after the collection has been completed.
For instructions on the use of the solution with the apheresis device and tubing set, see the device operator's manual.
Directions for connecting the ADDITIVE SOLUTION FORMULA 3 (AS-3) bag to the apheresis device.
Automated RBC additive solution procedures:
Connect ADDITIVE SOLUTION FORMULA 3 (AS-3) after the collection is over and the donor is disconnected. For automated addition of the product, the system will prompt you to connect the bag.
Manual RBC additive solution procedures:
Connect ADDITIVE SOLUTION FORMULA 3 (AS-3) after the collection is over and the donor is disconnected.
100 mL, 200 mL and 350 mL ADDITIVE SOLUTION FORMULA 3 (AS-3) products are sterile solutions in a Polyolefin bag. Each 100 mL contains: Dextrose Monohydrate USP 1.10 g; Trisodium Citrate Dihydrate USP 0.59 g; Sodium Chloride USP 0.41 g; Monobasic Sodium Phosphate Monohydrate USP 0.28 g; Citric Acid Monohydrate USP 0.042 g; Adenine USP 0.03 g; and Water for Injection USP.
Citrate reactions or toxicity may occur with the infusion of blood products to patients. The recipient of the blood containing citrate should be monitored for the signs and symptoms of citrate toxicity. The signs and symptoms of citrate toxicity begin with paresthesia, a "tingling" sensation around the mouth or in the extremities, followed by severe reactions that are characterized by hypotension and possible cardiac arrhythmia. Citrate toxicity may occur more frequently in patients who are hypothermic, have impaired liver or renal function, or have low calcium levels because of an underlying disease.
ADDITIVE SOLUTION FORMULA 3 (AS-3) is designed to be added to packed RBC collected in apheresis procedures, and acts to preserve and extend the shelf life of packed RBC products for later transfusion to patients. The solution is intended to be metered by an apheresis device during apheresis procedures or added manually after a collection.
The solution is sterile and non-pyrogenic, and it contains no bacteriostatic or antimicrobial agents.
The formulas of the active ingredients are provided in Table 1.

Each 100 mL of ADDITIVE SOLUTION FORMULA 3 (AS-3) contains: Dextrose Monohydrate USP 1.10 g; Trisodium Citrate Dihydrate USP 0.59 g; Sodium Chloride USP 0.41 g; Monobasic Sodium Phosphate Monohydrate USP 0.28 g; Citric Acid Monohydrate USP 0.042 g; Adenine USP 0.03 g; and Water for Injection USP.
ADDITIVE SOLUTION FORMULA 3 is available in three volumes: 100 mL, 200 mL and 350 mL.
The 100 mL bags are individually wrapped with a clear plastic film. Six individually wrapped bags are then vacuum-sealed in a foil pouch, which serves as a vapor barrier to prevent water loss during storage. After you remove the individual solution bags from the foil pouch, you can either leave them in the clear plastic film or remove and discard it. Once the foil pouch has been opened, use all six of the solution bags within 2 weeks.
The 200 mL and 350 mL bags are individually wrapped with a clear plastic film. These larger volumes do not require the additional vapor barrier. Once the clear plastic film has been removed, use the solution within 2 weeks.
The Polyolefin bag is not made with natural rubber latex.
The bag is made from a multilayered film. It contains materials that have been tested to demonstrate the suitability of the container for storing pharmaceutical solutions. The bag is nontoxic and biologically inert. The bag-solution unit is a closed system and is not dependent upon entry of external air during administration.
ADDITIVE SOLUTION FORMULA 3 acts to preserve and extend the shelf life of packed RBC products for later transfusion to patients. The following ingredients are key components of the solution:
This solution has no pharmacological effect.
The in vivo and in vitro quality of RBCs stored for 42 days in ADDITIVE SOLUTION FORMULA 3 (AS-3) storage solution has been assessed in three clinical studies.
In Vivo Recovery of Autologous Radiolabeled RBC
A single-arm, multicenter, in vivo study was conducted to assess the recovery of radiolabeled RBCs 24 hours post infusion. Acceptability of in vivo recovery was determined using established FDA-CBER acceptance criteria. Double collection RBCs (dRBC) were collected using the Trima Accel system and stored in ADDITIVE SOLUTION FORMULA 3 (AS-3) solution for 42 days, then radiolabeled with 51Chromium, and transfused back to the original subject. Table 2 summarizes the in vivo recovery data. Of the 27 units transfused, 26 had > 75% RBC recovery.

Overall Day 42 infused, 24-hour RBC Radiolabel Recovery (%) | Site 1 (12) | 79.3 (5.6) | 67.5, 86.5 |
Site 2 (15) | 87.1 (5.5) | 79.0, 98.1 |
FDA-CBER Criteria for Acceptable Recovery: Radiolabeled RBC recoveries should average at least 75%, with a standard deviation of at most 9%. In addition, the 95% one-sided lower confidence limit for the population proportion of successes should be > 70%, with success being defined as an individual red blood cell in vivo recovery of at least 75%. No more than 3 out of 24 data points may have less than 75% radiolabeled red cell recovery at 24 hours post infusion.
The primary outcome was met for RBCs collected on the Trima Accel system and stored in ADDITIVE SOLUTION FORMULA 3 (AS-3) storage solution.
In Vitro RBC Quality Studies
The in vitro quality of RBCs collected in single RBC collection (sRBC) and dRBC procedures using the Trima Accel system was assessed after 42 days of storage in ADDITIVE SOLUTION FORMULA 3 (AS-3) solution in a multicenter, paired study. In vitro quality was determined using established FDA-CBER acceptance criteria. The quality of RBCs stored in ADDITIVE SOLUTION FORMULA 3 (AS-3) solution (test) was compared to RBCs stored in plasma (control). Table summarizes the in vitro RBC quality data for collection on the Trima Accel system and storage in ADDITIVE SOLUTION FORMULA 3 (AS-3) solution.

FDA-CBER Criteria for Acceptable Day 42 Hemolysis: Zero failures (hemolysis ≥ 1% after 42-day storage) out of 60 test units that were not excluded from analysis by the Extreme Studentized Deviate test with α=0.05, which satisfies the binomial distribution testing requirement that, with 95% probability and a one-sided 95% lower confidence limit, the post-storage hemolysis was less than 1% per unit.
There were 0/68 sRBC test units and 0/70 dRBC test units with Day 42 hemolysis ≥ 1%. No donors were excluded as hemolysis was < 1% for all test units. Therefore, the primary objective was met for RBCs stored in ADDITIVE SOLUTION FORMULA 3 (AS-3).
The in vitro quality of sRBC and dRBC units collected using the Trima Accel system was assessed after 42 days of storage in AS-3 solution in a multicenter study. The quality of RBCs was compared between sRBC and dRBC units, and between units A and B of the dRBC collection. Table summarizes the in vitro RBC quality data for collection using the Trima Accel system and storage in ADDITIVE SOLUTION FORMULA 3 (AS-3).

The primary outcome of this study was to demonstrate RBC collection, storage, and viability in vitro.
The sRBC and dRBC units collected were comparable. The hematocrits, blood gasses, ATP, potassium, total hemoglobin, and osmotic fragility were within acceptable ranges following storage. Two statistically significant differences were identified between the A and B units in the dRBC collection at Day 42 (sodium and plasma free hemoglobin), but these differences were not clinically significant. There was no difference between dRBC units in hemolysis following storage in ADDITIVE SOLUTION FORMULA 3 (AS-3). A statistically significant difference was identified in the osmotic fragility of RBCs stored in ADDITIVE SOLUTION FORMULA 3 (AS-3) following sRBC collection or dRBC collection at Day 42, but the difference was not clinically significant. All the RBC units collected averaged less than 1% hemolysis on Day 42. These results are consistent with US and European guidelines for hemolysis on transfusion. ATP recovery was greater than 70% of all units, which is predictive of good in vivo viability, and potassium levels on Day 42 average less than 50 mEq/L indicating good RBC membrane stability over the storage period.
