| ====Directions on Preparation====
| |
| | |
| Use Iprivask before the expiration date given on the carton and container.
| |
| | |
| 1. Reconstitution should be carried out under sterile conditions.<BR>
| |
| | |
| 2. Remove plastic flip-top cap from Iprivask Vial. Remove back cover of Vial Adapter package. Attach Vial Adapter to Vial by using the outer package to handle Adapter. Push Adapter down onto Vial until spike pierces rubber stopper and snaps into place. Discard Vial Adapter package.<BR>
| |
| | |
| 3. Remove Syringe cap by twisting and pulling gently. Attach Syringe to Adapter on Vial by twisting. Slowly push plunger down to completely transfer solution into Vial. Leaving Syringe connected to Vial, gently swirl. Round tablet in Vial will dissolve within 10 seconds.<BR>
| |
| | |
| 4. With Syringe still connected to Vial, turn Vial upside down and withdraw entire contents of Vial back into Syringe. Remove Syringe from Vial and hold it with plunger-end down.<BR>
| |
| | |
| 5. You must use enclosed Eclipse™ needle. Attach Needle to Syringe by twisting. Pull pink lever down and uncap needle. You are ready to inject Iprivask. After injection, flip up pink lever to cover needle until it snaps into place. Dispose of the used Syringe in a Sharps® container.<BR>
| |
| | |
| Iprivask should not be mixed with other injections, solvents, or infusions. Iprivask is administered by subcutaneous injection. It must not be administered by intramuscular injection.
| |
| | |
| ====Subcutaneous Injection Technique====
| |
| | |
| Select a syringe with a 26 or 27 gauge needle which is approximately ½ inch in length for administration of Iprivask. Withdraw the entire reconstituted solution (15.75 mg desirudin/0.5 mL) into the syringe and inject the total volume subcutaneously.
| |
| | |
| Patients should be sitting or lying down and Iprivask injection administered by deep subcutaneous injection. Administration should be alternated between the left and right anterolateral and left and right posterolateral thigh or abdominal wall. The whole length of the needle should be introduced into a skin fold held between the thumb and forefinger; the skin fold should be held throughout the injection. To minimize bruising, do not rub the injection site after completion of the injection.
