    • Lasix ONYU is contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to furosemide, any component of the Lasix ONYU formulation, or medical adhesives.
  • 5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

    5.1 Fluid, Electrolyte, and Metabolic Abnormalities

    Furosemide may cause fluid, electrolyte, and metabolic abnormalities such as hypovolemia, hypokalemia, azotemia, hyponatremia, hypochloremic alkalosis, hypomagnesemia, hypocalcemia, hyperglycemia, or hyperuricemia, particularly in patients receiving higher doses, patients with inadequate oral electrolyte intake, and in elderly patients. Excessive diuresis may cause dehydration and blood volume reduction with circulatory collapse and possible vascular thrombosis and embolism, particularly in elderly patients. Serum electrolytes, CO2, BUN, creatinine, glucose, and uric acid should be monitored frequently during furosemide therapy.

    5.2 Worsening Renal Function

    Furosemide can cause dehydration and azotemia. If increasing azotemia and oliguria occur during treatment of severe progressive renal disease, discontinue furosemide [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

    5.3 Ototoxicity

    Cases of tinnitus and reversible or irreversible hearing impairment and deafness have been reported with furosemide. Reports usually indicate that furosemide ototoxicity is associated with rapid injection, severe renal impairment, the use of higher than recommended doses, hypoproteinemia or concomitant therapy with aminoglycoside antibiotics, ethacrynic acid, or other ototoxic drugs. If the physician elects to use high-dose parenteral therapy, controlled intravenous infusion is advisable (for adults, an infusion rate not exceeding 4 mg furosemide per minute has been used) [see Drug Interactions (7)].

    5.4 Acute Urinary Retention

    In patients with severe symptoms of urinary retention (because of bladder emptying disorders, prostatic hyperplasia, urethral narrowing), the administration of furosemide can cause acute urinary retention related to increased production and retention of urine. These patients require careful monitoring, especially during the initial stages of treatment.

    5.5 Incomplete Dosing

    The Lasix ONYU Infusor should not come in contact with water or any other fluids (blood or drug product). Fluid contact with the Infusor circuit board can lead to device errors and premature termination of infusion.
    The Lasix ONYU is intended for use in a setting where the patient can limit their activity for the duration of administration. Certain patient movements may cause interruption of device adherence to skin and premature termination of infusion.
    Lasix ONYU should only be used in patients who can detect and respond to alarms to ensure a complete dose is administered.

  • 6 ADVERSE REACTIONS

    The following important adverse reactions are discussed elsewhere in the labeling:

    • Fluid, Electrolyte, and Metabolic Abnormalities [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].
    • Ototoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)]

    The following adverse reactions associated with the use of furosemide were identified in clinical trials or post-marketing reports. Because these reactions were reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to estimate their frequency reliably, or to establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.

    Adverse reactions are categorized below by organ system and listed by decreasing severity.

    Gastrointestinal System Reactions: pancreatitis, jaundice (intrahepatic cholestatic jaundice), increased liver enzymes, anorexia, oral and gastric irritation, cramping, diarrhea, constipation, nausea, vomiting.

    Systemic Hypersensitivity Reactions: severe anaphylactic or anaphylactoid reactions (e.g., with shock), systemic vasculitis, interstitial nephritis, necrotizing angiitis.

    Central Nervous System Reactions: tinnitus and hearing loss, paresthesias, vertigo, dizziness, headache, blurred vision, xanthopsia.

    Hematologic Reactions: aplastic anemia, thrombocytopenia, agranulocytosis, hemolytic anemia, leukopenia, anemia, eosinophilia.

    Dermatologic Hypersensitivity Reactions: toxic epidermal necrolysis, Stevens-Johnson Syndrome, erythema multiforme, drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms, acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis, exfoliative dermatitis, bullous pemphigoid, purpura, photosensitivity, rash.

    Cardiovascular Reactions: orthostatic hypotension, increase in cholesterol and triglyceride serum levels.

    Administration Site and Skin Reactions: erythema, bruising, edema, infusion site pain.

    Other Reactions: glycosuria, muscle spasm, weakness, restlessness, urinary bladder spasm, thrombophlebitis, transient injection site pain following intramuscular injection, fever.

  • 7 DRUG INTERACTIONS

    7.1 Effects of Furosemide on Other Drugs

    Table 1: Effects of Furosemide on Other Drugs
    Drug/Substance Class or NameDrug Interaction EffectRecommendations
    Aminoglycoside antibioticsFurosemide may increase the ototoxic potential of aminoglycoside antibiotics, especially in the presence of impaired renal function [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)]. Avoid combination except in life-threatening situations.
    Ethacrynic acidPossibility of ototoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)]. Avoid concomitant use with ethacrynic acid.
    SalicylatesMay experience salicylate toxicity at lower doses because of competitive renal excretory sites.Monitor for symptoms of salicylate toxicity.
    Cisplatin

    Cisplatin and nephrotoxic drugs
    There is a risk of ototoxic effects if cisplatin and furosemide are given concomitantly [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)].

    Nephrotoxicity
    Administer furosemide at lower doses and with positive fluid balance when used to achieve forced diuresis during cisplatin treatment. Monitor renal function.
    Paralytic agentsFurosemide has a tendency to antagonize the skeletal muscle relaxing effect of tubocurarine and may potentiate the action of succinylcholine.Monitor for skeletal muscle effect.
    LithiumFurosemide reduces lithium’s renal clearance and adds a high-risk of lithium toxicity.Avoid concomitant use with lithium.
    Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockersMay lead to severe hypotension and deterioration in renal function, including renal failure.Monitor for changes in blood pressure and renal function and interrupt or reduce the dosage of furosemide, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, or angiotensin receptor blockers if needed.
    Antihypertensive drugsFurosemide may add to or potentiate the therapeutic effect of other antihypertensive drugs.Monitor for changes in blood pressure and adjust the dose of other antihypertensive drugs if needed.
    Adrenergic blocking drugs or peripheral adrenergic blocking drugsPotentiation occurs.Monitor for changes in blood pressure and adjust the dose of adrenergic blocking drugs if needed.
    NorepinephrineFurosemide may decrease arterial responsiveness (vasoconstricting effect) to norepinephrine.Monitor blood pressure (or mean arterial pressure).
    Chloral hydrateIn isolated cases, intravenous administration of furosemide within 24 hours of taking chloral hydrate may lead to flushing, sweating attacks, restlessness, nausea, increase in blood pressure, and tachycardia.Concomitant use with chloral hydrate is not recommended.
    Methotrexate and other drugs undergoing renal tubular secretionFurosemide may decrease renal elimination of other drugs that undergo tubular secretion. High-dose treatment of furosemide may result in elevated serum levels of these drugs and may potentiate their toxicity.Monitor serum levels of drugs undergoing renal tubular secretion and adjust the dose if needed.
    CephalosporinFurosemide can increase the risk of cephalosporin-induced nephrotoxicity even in the setting of minor or transient renal impairment.Monitor for changes in renal function.
    CyclosporineIncreased risk of gouty arthritis secondary to furosemide-induced hyperuricemia and cyclosporine impairment of renal urate excretion.Monitor serum urate levels.
    Thyroid hormonesHigh doses (> 80 mg) of furosemide may inhibit the binding of thyroid hormones to carrier proteins and result in transient increase in free thyroid hormones, followed by an overall decrease in total thyroid hormone levels.Monitor the total thyroid hormone levels.

    7.2 Effect of Other Drugs on Furosemide

    Table 2: Effect of Other Drugs on Furosemide
    Drug/Substance Class or NameDrug Interaction EffectRecommendations
    Phenytoin

    Phenytoin interferes directly with renal action of furosemide.

    Monitor diuretic effects of furosemide and adjust the dose of furosemide if needed.
    Methotrexate and other drugs undergoing renal tubular secretionMay reduce the effect of furosemide. High-dose treatment of methotrexate and these other drugs may result in elevated serum levels of furosemide and may potentiate the toxicity of furosemide.Monitor for enhanced toxicity of furosemide.
    IndomethacinCoadministration of indomethacin may reduce the natriuretic and antihypertensive effects of furosemide in some patients by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis.
    Indomethacin may also affect plasma renin levels, aldosterone excretion, and renin profile evaluation.
    Patients receiving both indomethacin and furosemide should be observed closely to determine if the desired diuretic and/or antihypertensive effect of furosemide is achieved.

  • 8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

    8.1 Pregnancy

    Risk Summary

    Available data from published observational studies, case reports, and post marketing reports, from decades of use, have not demonstrated a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes with furosemide use during pregnancy. Untreated congestive heart failure can lead to adverse outcomes for the mother and the fetus (see Clinical Considerations).

    In animal reproduction studies, furosemide has been shown to cause unexplained maternal deaths and abortions in rabbits when administered orally during organogenesis at 4 times a human i.v. dose of 80 mg based on body surface area (BSA) and oral bioavailability corrections, presumably secondary to volume depletion (see Data).

    The background risk for major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated populations is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in the clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively.

    Clinical Considerations

    Disease-associated Maternal and/or Embryo/fetal Risk

    Pregnant women with congestive heart failure are at increased risk for pre-term birth. Stroke volume and heart rate increase during pregnancy, increasing cardiac output, especially during the first trimester.

    Clinical classification of heart disease may worsen with pregnancy and lead to maternal death and/or stillbirth. Closely monitor pregnant patients for destabilization of their heart failure.

    Data

    Animal Data

    The effects of furosemide on embryonic and fetal development and on pregnant dams were studied in mice, rats, and rabbits.

    Furosemide caused unexplained maternal deaths and abortions in rabbits at the lowest dose of 25 mg/kg (approximately 4 times the human i.v. dose of 80 mg based on BSA and oral bioavailability corrections). In another study, a dose of 50 mg/kg (approximately 7 times a human i.v. dose of 80 mg based on BSA and oral bioavailability corrections) also caused maternal deaths and abortions when administered to rabbits between Days 12 and 17 of gestation. In a third study, none of the pregnant rabbits survived an oral dose of 100 mg/kg. Data from the above studies indicate fetal lethality that can precede maternal deaths.

    The results of the mouse study and one of the three rabbit studies also showed an increased incidence and severity of hydronephrosis (distention of the renal pelvis and, in some cases, of the ureters) in fetuses of treated dams as compared with the incidence of fetuses from the control group.

    8.2 Lactation

    Risk Summary

    The presence of furosemide has been reported in human breast milk. There are no data on the effects on the breastfed infant or the effects on milk production. Doses of furosemide associated with clinically significant diuresis may impair milk production. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for furosemide and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from furosemide or from the underlying maternal condition.

    8.4 Pediatric Use

    Safety and efficacy for pediatric use have not been established [see Indications and Usage (1)].

    8.5 Geriatric Use

    Controlled clinical studies did not include sufficient numbers of subjects to determine whether subjects aged 65 and over respond differently from younger subjects. Other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients. In general, dose selection for the elderly patients should be cautious, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy.

    Lasix ONYU is known to be substantially excreted by the kidney, and the risk of toxic reactions to this drug may be greater in patients with impaired renal function. Because elderly patients are more likely to have decreased renal function, care should be taken in dose selection, and it may be useful to monitor renal function [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

    8.6 Renal Impairment

    Significantly reduced renal function can affect the response to furosemide. Lasix ONYU will deliver only an 80 mg dose of furosemide, and patients with significantly reduced renal function may require additional diuretic therapy.

    8.7 Hepatic Impairment

    In patients with hepatic cirrhosis and ascites, sudden alterations of fluid and electrolyte balance may precipitate hepatic encephalopathy and coma. Treat such patients in a setting where clinical status and electrolyte balance can be carefully monitored.

  • 10 OVERDOSAGE

    The principal signs and symptoms of overdose with Lasix ONYU are dehydration, blood volume reduction, hypotension, electrolyte imbalance, hypokalemia, and hypochloremic alkalosis, and are extensions of its diuretic action.

    The concentration of furosemide in biological fluids associated with toxicity or death is not known.

    Treatment of overdosage is supportive and consists of replacement of excessive fluid and electrolyte losses. Serum electrolytes, carbon dioxide level, and blood pressure should be determined frequently. Adequate drainage must be assured in patients with urinary bladder outlet obstruction (such as prostatic hypertrophy).

    Hemodialysis does not accelerate furosemide elimination.

  • 11 DESCRIPTION

    Lasix ONYU (furosemide injection) for subcutaneous use is a loop diuretic. Chemically, it is 4-chloro-N-furfuryl-5-sulfamoylanthranilic acid.

    Furosemide is a white to slightly yellow crystalline powder. It is sparingly soluble in alcohol, freely soluble in dilute alkali solutions, and insoluble in dilute acids. The structural formula is as follows:

    image-Structure

    Molecular Formula: C12H11ClN2O5S

    Molecular Weight: 330.75 g/mol

    Lasix ONYU is a single-dose prefilled cartridge co-packaged with a single-use Disposable Unit of the Infusor.

    The single-dose prefilled cartridge contains 80 mg furosemide in a 2.67 mL sterile, clear to slightly yellow, and nonpyrogenic aqueous solution. The pH of Lasix ONYU, 7.5, differs from that of Furosemide Injection, USP. Each 1 mL dose of Lasix ONYU contains 30 mg of furosemide and the following inactive ingredients: betadex sulfobutyl ether sodium (300 mg), hydrochloric acid for pH adjustment if needed, sodium hydroxide for pH adjustment if needed, tromethamine (3 mg), and water for injection (q.s.).

    Each single-dose of Lasix ONYU is administered via an electromechanical (battery powered, microprocessor controlled) Infusor, pre-programmed to deliver 80 mg of Lasix ONYU over 5-hours using a bi-phasic delivery profile. The Infusor consists of a custom Reusable Unit which can be used for close to 50 treatments. The Reusable Unit is used with a Disposable Unit and single-dose prefilled cartridge which are provided together for the user as a Lasix ONYU Kit. The Disposable Unit must be discarded after use.

  • 12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

    12.1 Mechanism of Action

    Furosemide primarily inhibits the reabsorption of sodium and chloride in the proximal and distal tubules and in the loop of Henle. The high degree of diuresis is largely due to the unique site of action. The action on the distal tubule is independent of any inhibitory effect on carbonic anhydrase and aldosterone.

    12.2 Pharmacodynamics

    In patients with NYHA Class II and Class III heart failure, subcutaneous administration of Lasix ONYU (30 mg furosemide over the first hour followed by 12.5 mg per hour for the subsequent 4 hours, total 80 mg furosemide within 5 hours) produced similar diuresis and natriuresis to intravenous administration (single 80 mg bolus) at 8- and 24-hour post-dose. The duration of diuretic effect with Lasix ONYU is at least 8 hours after initiation of dosing.

    12.3 Pharmacokinetics

    Absorption

    In patients with NYHA Class II and Class III heart failure, subcutaneous infusion of Lasix ONYU (30 mg furosemide over the first hour followed by 12.5 mg per hour for the subsequent 4 hours, 80 mg furosemide total), the bioavailability was 112% (90% CI: 104, 120%), with a median Tmax of 5 hours relative to 80 mg intravenous furosemide (single 80 mg bolus). The pharmacokinetic parameters of Lasix ONYU are presented in Table 3 below:

    The terminal half-life of furosemide is approximately 2 hours.

    The impact of subcutaneous edema at the administration site of Lasix ONYU on drug absorption is unknown.

    Distribution

    Furosemide is extensively bound to plasma proteins, mainly to albumin. Plasma concentrations ranging from 1 mcg per mL to 400 mcg per mL are 91% to 99% bound in healthy individuals. The unbound fraction averages 2.3% to 4.1% at therapeutic concentrations.
    Furosemide binding to albumin may be reduced in elderly patients.

    Elimination

    Significantly more furosemide is excreted in urine following the intravenous injection than after the tablet or oral solution.

    Furosemide is predominantly excreted unchanged in the urine.

    The renal clearance of furosemide after intravenous administration in older healthy male subjects (60 to 70 years of age) is significantly less than in younger healthy male subjects (20 to 35 years of age).

    Metabolism

    Furosemide glucuronide is the only or at least the major biotransformation product of furosemide in humans.

  • 13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY

    13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility

    Carcinogenesis

    Furosemide was tested for carcinogenicity by oral administration in one strain of mice and one strain of rats. A small but significantly increased incidence of mammary gland carcinomas occurred in female mice at a dose approximately 8 times a human i.v. dose of 80 mg based on BSA and oral bioavailability corrections. There were marginal increases in uncommon tumors in male rats at a dose of 15 mg per kg (slightly greater than the maximum human dose) but not at 30 mg per kg.

    Mutagenesis

    Furosemide was devoid of mutagenic activity in various strains of Salmonella typhimurium when tested in the presence or absence of an in vitro metabolic activation system, and questionably positive for gene mutation in mouse lymphoma cells in the presence of rat liver S9 at the highest dose tested. Furosemide did not induce sister chromatid exchange in human cells in vitro, but other studies on chromosomal aberrations in human cells in vitro gave conflicting results. In Chinese hamster cells it induced chromosomal damage but was questionably positive for sister chromatid exchange. Studies on the induction by furosemide of chromosomal aberrations in mice were inconclusive. The urine of rats treated with this drug did not induce gene conversion in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

    Impairment of Fertility

    Furosemide produced no impairment of fertility in male or female rats, at 100 mg per kg per day (the maximum effective diuretic dose in the rat), approximately 7 times a human i.v. dose of 80 mg based on BSA and oral bioavailability corrections.

    Prepare the Medicine

    Step 3
    Wash your hands with soap and water.

    image-11

    Step 4

    Check the expiration date on the Lasix ONYU Kit.

    Do not use if the expiration date has passed.

    image-12

    Step 5

    Gather all supplies needed. On a clean, flat, well-lit work surface, open 1 Lasix ONYU Kit and remove the contents.

    Do not open the contents until you are ready to start the infusion.

    Do not use the Disposable Unit if the sealed packaging appears to be damaged. Use a new one.

    Do not use the Disposable Unit if it was dropped or if any parts appear to be broken. Use a new one.

    image-12.5

    Step 6

    Remove Prefilled Cartridge, Disposable Unit, and 2 alcohol pads from packaging:

    • Remove the Prefilled Cartridge from its box and sealed tray.
    • Remove the Disposable Unit from its sealed package.

    Do not remove the paper liner from the back of the Disposable Unit.

    image-13

    Step 7

    Check the Prefilled Cartridge appearance.

    Do not use the Prefilled Cartridge if the medicine is cloudy, appears yellow-brown, or you see floating particles.

    image-14

    Step 8
    Wipe the silver top of the Prefilled Cartridge with an alcohol pad.

    image-15

    Step 9

    Push the Prefilled Cartridge into the green Disposable Unit with the silver top inserted first.

    The Prefilled Cartridge is fully inserted when the bottom of the Prefilled Cartridge is at the tip
    of the arrow on the Disposable Unit.

    image-16

    Prepare the Lasix ONYU Infusor

    Step 10

    Check the following:

    • The Reusable Unit Battery Light is solid blue, and
    • The Charger is disconnected from the Reusable Unit.
      Slide together the white Reusable Unit and green Disposable Unit together until the Status Light on the Reusable Unit turns on.

    image-17

    Step 11

    Check the Status Light.

    • If the Status Light is blue and flashing fast, and you hear the OK Tone (1 long beep), continue to Step 12. The Lasix ONYU Infusor is ready to start your infusion.
    • The Lasix ONYU Infusor will remain ready to start infusion for 7 hours.
    • If the Status Light is flashing red and you hear the Alarm Tone (2 short beeps), do not use the Lasix ONYU Infusor. Go to Troubleshooting: The Status Light is Flashing Red for instructions.
    • If the Battery Light is solid red, do not use the Lasix ONYU Infusor. Go to Troubleshooting: Checking the Reusable Unit Battery for instructions.

    image-18

    Prepare the Application Site

    Step 12

    Choose a site on the stomach, above the beltline, to the left or right of the belly button.
    Trim excessive hair at the site. This will help the Lasix ONYU Infusor stick to the skin.
    Alternate (rotate) sites between left and right sides of the stomach with each infusion.

    Do not choose a site where:

    • the skin is irritated, broken, tender, red, bruised, or hard,
    • the skin is wet or sweaty,
    • there are folds in the skin when standing up straight, or
    • belts, waistbands, or tight clothing may rub against or move the Lasix ONYU Infusor.

    image-19

    Step 13

    Wipe the site with an alcohol pad.

    Let dry for at least 10 seconds.

    image-20

    Attach the Lasix ONYU Infusor

    Step 14

    Hold the blue tab with one hand and use the other hand to peel off the paper liner from the adhesive on the back of the Lasix ONYU Infusor.

    Leave the sticky adhesive on the Lasix ONYU Infusor. Only remove the paper liner.

    Do not touch the sticky adhesive with your fingers or let it touch any surfaces before sticking the Lasix ONYU Infusor to your stomach.

    image-21

    Step 15

    While standing up straight, press the Lasix ONYU Infusor onto the site on your stomach you wiped with the alcohol pad.

    Make sure the Status Light and the Start/Stop Button are facing up in a horizontal position as shown, so you can see them when the Lasix ONYU Infusor is on your stomach.

    image-22

    Step 16

    Rub the edges of the adhesive with a finger to get the Lasix ONYU Infusor to stick well.

    image-23

    Start the Infusion

    Start your infusion within 7 hours of connecting the Reusable Unit and Disposable Unit. If more than 7 hours pass without starting your infusion, the Lasix ONYU Infusor will time out and the infusion cannot be delivered (go to Troubleshooting: The Status Light is Flashing Red).

    Step 17

    Press and hold the Start/Stop Button until you hear the motor and see the blue Status Light change to flashing slow.

    The needle will automatically insert into your skin after the Start/Stop Button is pressed. You may feel a slight pinch.

    You will hear the motor start and stop often during your infusion. The motor runs for a few seconds at a time then pauses for several minutes.

    image-24

    Step 18

    Check the Status Light.

    • If the Status Light is blue and flashing slow, and you hear the OK Tone (1 long beep), the infusion has started. You will hear the motor running.
    • If the Status Light is flashing red, and you hear the Alarm Tone (2 short beeps), the infusion did not start. Go to Troubleshooting: The Status Light is Flashing Red for instructions.
    • If the Status Light is blue and flashing fast, and you hear the OK Tone (1 long beep), the infusion did not start. Repeat Step 17.
    • For additional assistance go to Troubleshooting: Lights and Tones Table for instructions or call 1-855-452-7496.

    image-25

    During the Infusion

    Step 19

    Wait 5 hours for the Lasix ONYU Infusor to deliver the full infusion.

    You will see the blue Status Light flashing slow and sometimes hear the motor running.

    Check the Lasix ONYU Infusor every now and then to make sure it is working properly.

    Do not remove the Lasix ONYU Infusor from your stomach until the infusion is done. The infusion is complete when the Status Light is solid blue and you hear the OK Tone (1 long beep). Go to Troubleshooting: How to Stop the Infusor Early if you need to stop the infusion early.

    image-26

    End the Infusion

    Step 20

    After 5 hours, check the Status Light.

    • If the Status Light is solid blue, and you hear the OK Tone (1 long beep), the infusion is done.
    • If the Status Light is flashing red, and you hear the Alarm Tone (2 short beeps), an error happened. Go to Troubleshooting: The Status Light is Flashing Red.
    • If the Status Light is blue and flashing slow, and you hear the OK Tone (1 long beep), the infusion is not done yet. Continue to wait.

    The needle automatically pulls in (retracts) when the infusion is done. You may feel a slight pinch.

    image-27

    Step 21

    When the infusion is done, remove the Lasix ONYU Infusor from your stomach. Peel the Lasix ONYU Infusor off the skin by holding down the skin and pulling the blue tab away from the stomach.

    You might have some discomfort after you remove the Lasix ONYU Infusor. This discomfort should quickly go away, but some redness of the skin may remain. If there is any bleeding, pat with a small cotton ball or apply a small adhesive bandage over the site.

    image-28

    Confirm the Infusion Worked

    Step 22

    Look in the window on the back of the Infusor to check whether all the medicine was delivered.

    • If the middle of the window is all gray (whole gray stopper is visible with very little or no liquid), all of the medicine was delivered.
      If you see anything else (like a lot of liquid, a large bubble in the liquid, no gray stopper, or only part of the gray stopper), some of the medicine was not delivered. Call your healthcare provider right away.

    image-29

    Step 23

    Confirm the medicine worked.

    • If you urinate a lot (at least 2 times during the 5-hour infusion), the medicine worked.
    • If you urinate less than 2 times (during the 5-hour infusion), the medicine may not have worked. Call your healthcare provider right away.

    image-30

    Throw Away (Disposal), Cleaning, and Storage

    Step 24

    Pull apart the green Disposable Unit and white Reusable Unit.

    The Reusable Unit automatically turns off when the two parts are separated.

    image-31

    Step 25

    Do not save and re-use the green Disposable Unit or Prefilled Cartridge. They are for one-time use only.

    Throw away the green Disposable Unit into an FDA-cleared sharps disposal container.

    image-32

    You may obtain a free sharps disposal container from SQ Innovation. Visit www.Lasix-ONYU.com/sharps/ or call 1-855-452-7496 to have a container mailed to you at no charge.

    Alternatively, if you do not have an FDA-cleared sharps disposal container, you may use a household container that is:

    • made of heavy-duty plastic,
    • can be closed with a tight fitting, puncture-resistant lid, without sharps being able to come out,
    • upright and stable during use,
    • leak-resistant, and
    • properly labeled to warn of hazardous waste inside the container.

    When your Sharps container is almost full, you will need to follow your community guidelines for the right way to dispose of your sharps disposal container. There may be state or local laws about how you throw away used needles and syringes. For more information about safe sharps disposal and for specific information about sharps disposal in the state that you live in, go to the FDAs website at: 

    https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/safely-using-sharps-needles-and-syringes-home-work-and-travel/best-way-get-rid-used-needles-and-other-sharps

    Do not dispose of your used sharps disposal container in your household trash unless your community guidelines permit this.

    Do not recycle the green Disposable Unit and used sharps disposal container or throw them away into household trash.

    Important: Always keep the sharps disposal container out of the reach of children.

    Scan the code below with your phone for a sharps disposal location near you or call Safe Needle Disposal at 1-800-643-1643.

    image-35

    Step 26

    Wipe the white Reusable Unit with a clean, water-damp cloth to remove visible dirt right after use. Let dry completely before storing.

    If needed, a mild detergent, like dish soap, may be added to the damp cleaning cloth.

    Do not use harsh cleaners that contain bleach, alcohol, ammonia, or other solvents. These cleaners may damage the Reusable Unit.

    Do not submerge the Reusable Unit in liquids or spray liquids directly on the surface. It contains parts that should not get wet.

    image-33

    Step 27

    Store the Reusable Unit, Charger, and any remaining Lasix ONYU Kits for next use.

    • Keep at room temperature between 68°F and 77°F (20°C and 25°C).
    • Do not refrigerate or freeze.
    • Keep in a dark place to protect from light.
    • Keep dry.
    • Keep extra Prefilled Cartridges and Disposable Units in their original packaging until it is time to use them.

      • Call your healthcare provider because you did not get all of the medicine.

    You Did Not Urinate (Pee) Much During Infusion

    The Lasix ONYU Infusor delivers a diuretic medicine which should make you urinate a lot. If you do not urinate a lot (at least 2 times during the 5-hour infusion), there are two reasons this could have happened:

    • The diuretic medicine, Lasix ONYU, was not effective for you, or
    • The Lasix ONYU Infusor did not work properly.
    image-46

    In either case, it is important that you call your healthcare provider. Follow the steps below to determine whether the Lasix ONYU Infusor worked and if all the medicine was delivered:

    1. Remove the Lasix ONYU Infusor from your stomach.
    2. Look at the window on the back of the Lasix ONYU Infusor:
      • If the middle of the window is all gray (whole gray stopper is visible with very little or no liquid), all the medicine was delivered. The Lasix ONYU Infusor worked.
      • If you see anything else (like a lot of liquid, a large bubble in the liquid, no gray stopper, or only part of the gray stopper), some of the medicine was not delivered. You did not get a full infusion.
    3. Check your stomach: If you see or feel a lot of liquid on your stomach, you may not have received a full infusion due to the medicine leaking.
    image-47
