Drug Details [pdf]

  • 1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE

    • 125 mL Syringe:  Sodium Chloride Injection USP 0.9% is indicated for use in flushing compatible contrast agents through Liebel-Flarsheim intravenous administration sets into indwelling intravascular access devices only when delivered by the following Liebel-Flarsheim power injectors: Angiomat®, Illumena®, Illumena® Néo, CT9000®, CT9000® ADV, Optistat®, Optivantage® and Optistar Elite.

  • 2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

    • The 125 mL syringe are for single patient use only.
    • Determine the volume of the saline flush for each patient individually based, in part, on the imaging procedure, the location of the vascular access device, the length of tubing between the Liebel-Flarsheim contrast agent power injector and the vascular access device and the recommendations made on the package insert for the contrast agent. Typical Sodium Chloride Injection USP 0.9% flush volumes following contrast agent administration in adults are 10 to 25 mL per injection at rates not to exceed 10 mL/sec.
    • Use of some Liebel-Flarsheim contrast agent power injectors allows for additional infusion of Sodium Chloride Injection USP 0.9% to maintain the patency of vascular access. Typical infusion rates used for this purpose are in the range of 0.5 to 1 mL per minute.
    • Individualize infusion rates and flush volumes for each patient based on their body weight, fluid status and concomitant medical conditions.
    • Consult the Liebel-Flarsheim contrast agent power injector manual for proper use.

    2.1 Drug Handling

    • Inspect the syringe for signs of break in sterility.
    • Do not use if the syringe or its tip cap shows signs of damage, leakage or displacement.
    • Do not use if the solution is hazy, cloudy, discolored or contains particulate matter.
    • Use aseptic technique.
    • Expel residual air in both the syringe and tubing prior to connection with the patient’s vascular access.
    • Instructions for assembly and inspection of the Sodium Chloride Injection USP 0.9% syringes prior to use are printed on this sheet.

    RFID-Tagged Syringe Description

    This information is for Ultraject® syringes containing Sodium Chloride Injection USP 0.9% that has been labeled with a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag.  When used with an RFID-enabled Optivantage Injector, this tag allows for the exchange of product information such as lot number, expiration, concentration, and identification of the syringe as being unused prior to use and used after product administration.  Patient information is not utilized in any form with this RFID technology. Sodium Chloride Injection USP 0.9% product quality is not impacted with the use of this RFID tag. Sodium Chloride Injection USP 0.9% RFID syringes require no special handling and should be stored at the conditions listed for the drug product.

    RFID-Tagged Syringe Directions for Use

    For the RFID technology to function, the syringe must be used with an Optivantage Injector with RFID technology. Function of the RFID technology is not dependent on syringe orientation as it is placed in the injector. Instructions for use of the injector are provided on the injector interface screens and operator’s manual.

    If the RFID tag is damaged or otherwise non-functional, the injector will notify the user.  Should this occur, the Sodium Chloride Injection USP 0.9% syringe with the non-functional RFID tag may still be used but no data will be transferred to the injector.

    Regarding interference with medical devices, the RFID tag and injector system meet the IEC 60601-1-2 requirements for emission and immunity standards for medical devices.  Follow all manufacturers’ guidelines and do not operate any part of the Optivantage Injector System and RFID-tagged syringes within 6 inches (15 cm) of a pacemaker and/or defibrillator.
