Instructions for the correct use of Isoplasmal
Preparation:
After removing the protective cover, proceed as follows: Unfold the bag and place it on a hard surface. Open the central joint by pressing with both hands on one of the bag's chambers. The homogeneous mixture is ready for use. Remove the white cap from the infusion connector. Clean the connector and insert the infusion equipment. Infuse according to protocol.
Adding lipids:
Close the regulation clamp and the air intake of the lipid transfer equipment. Disinfect the connectors and insert the spike of the transfer equipment into the lipid bottle and the needle into the addition connector located at the top of the bag. Ensure there is a distance of 40-60 cm (= 2-3 Medihook hangers) between the lipid bottle and the bag. Open the regulation clamp and the air intake of the transfer equipment. The lipid emulsion will flow into the bag by gravity. During lipid transfer, no supervision is necessary.
Additives:
If necessary, additives can be incorporated directly into the bag using a syringe in the connector located at the bottom of the bag, using an aseptic procedure. For information on compatibility, consult your pharmacist or the manufacturer/distributor.
Infusion:
Connect the infusion equipment (without air intake) to the infusion connector.
Mixing:
Hang the bag and mix the contents by inverting the bag 2-3 times.
