INFORMATION FOR PATIENTS
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE OF THE ADD-Vantage® VIAL
To Open Diluent Container: Peel overwrap from the corner
and remove container. Some opacity of the plastic due to moisture absorption
during the sterilization process may be observed. This is normal and does not
affect the solution quality or safety. The opacity will diminish gradually.
To Assemble Vial and Flexible Diluent Container: (Use Aseptic Technique)
- Remove the protective covers from the top of the vial and the vial port
on the diluent container as follows:
- To remove the breakaway vial cap, swing the pull ring over the top of
the vial and pull down far enough to start the opening , pull the ring
approximately half way around the cap and then pull straight up to remove
the cap
NOTE: Do not access vial with syringe.
- To remove the vial port cover, grasp the tab on the pull ring, pull
up to break the three tie strings, then pull back to remove the cover.
- Screw the vial into the vial port until it will go no further. THE VIAL
MUST BE SCREWED IN TIGHTLY TO ASSURE A SEAL. This occurs approximately 1
/ 2 turn (180°) after the first audible click. The clicking
sound does not assure a seal, the vial must be turned as far as it will go.
NOTE: Once vial is sealed, do not attempt to remove.
- Recheck the vial to assure that it is tight by trying to turn it further
in the direction of assembly.
- Label appropriately.
To Prepare Admixture
- Squeeze the bottom of the diluent container gently to inflate the portion
of the container surrounding the end of the drug vial.
- With the other hand, push the drug vial down into the container telescoping
the walls of the container. Grasp the inner cap of the vial through the walls
of the container.
- Pull the inner cap from the drug vial. Verify that the rubber stopper has
been pulled out, allowing the drug and diluent to mix.
- Mix container contents thoroughly and use within the specified time.
