Warnings and precautions for use

To avoid the risks associated with too high infusion rates, it is recommended to use a continuous and well-controlled infusion, if possible using a pump.

Since the use of a central vein is associated with a high risk of infection, strict aseptic precautions should be taken to avoid any contamination during catheter insertion and handling.

Monitor serum glucose, electrolytes, and osmolarity, as well as fluid balance, acid-base balance, and liver enzyme tests.

In case of any sign or symptom of anaphylactic reaction (such as fever, tremors, skin rash, or shortness of breath), the infusion should be stopped immediately.

SmofKabiven central should not be administered simultaneously with blood in the same infusion set, due to the risk of pseudoagglutination.

Administration route

Intravenous, infusion in a central vein.

To provide complete parenteral nutrition, the following should be added to SmofKabiven central: trace elements, vitamins, and possibly electrolytes (taking into account the electrolytes already present in SmofKabiven central), according to the patient's needs.

Dosage

Adults

Dosage:
The dosage range of 13-31 ml SmofKabiven central/kg pc/day will provide 0.6-1.6 g of amino acids/kg pc/day (corresponding to 0.10-0.25 g nitrogen/kg pc/day) and 14-35 kcal/kg pc/day of total energy (12-27 kcal/kg pc/day of non-protein energy).

Infusion rate:

The maximum infusion rate for glucose is 0.25 g/kg pc/h, for amino acids 0.1 g/kg pc/h, and for lipids 0.15 g/kg pc/h.

The infusion rate should not exceed 2.0 ml/kg pc/h (corresponding to 0.25 g of glucose, 0.10 g of amino acids, and 0.08 g of lipids/kg pc/h). The recommended infusion period is 14-24 hours.

Maximum daily dose:
The maximum daily dose varies with the patient's clinical condition and may even change from day to day. The maximum daily dose recommended is 35 ml/kg pc/day.

Pediatric population

Children (2-11 years)

Dosage:

The dosage of up to 35 ml/kg pc/day should be adjusted regularly according to the pediatric patient's requirements, which vary more than those of adult patients.

Infusion rate:

The maximum infusion rate is 2.4 ml/kg pc/h (corresponding to 0.12 g of amino acids/kg/h, 0.30 g of glucose/kg/h, and 0.09 g of lipids/kg/h). At the maximum recommended infusion rate, do not use infusion periods longer than 14 hours and 30 minutes, except in exceptional cases and under close monitoring.

The recommended infusion period is 12-24 hours.

Maximum daily dose:
The maximum daily dose varies with the patient's clinical condition and may even change from day to day. The maximum daily dose is 35 ml/kg pc/day.

Adolescents (12-16/18 years)

Precautions for use

Do not use the container if it is damaged.

Only use if the amino acid and glucose solutions are transparent and colorless or slightly yellowish, and the lipid emulsion is white and homogeneous. The contents of the three chambers should be mixed before use, and before any additions are made through the addition port.

After opening the peel-type seals, the bag should be inverted several times to ensure a homogeneous mixture, which should not show any evidence of phase separation.

For single use only. Any remaining mixture after infusion should be discarded.

Compatibility

There are compatibility data in defined quantities with the commercially available products Dipeptiven 200 mg/ml, Supliven, Glycophos 216 mg/ml, Vitalipid Adultos/Infantil, and Soluvit lyophilized, and generic electrolytes in defined concentrations. When adding electrolytes, the amounts already present in the bag should be taken into account to meet the patient's clinical needs.

The data generated support the addition to the activated bag according to the summary table below.

1Includes the amounts of all products.

2Admixtures of Glycophos can be doubled with a stability of 7 days, i.e., 6 days of storage at 2-8°C followed by 24 hours at 20-25°C.

Note: This table is intended to indicate compatibility. It is not a dosage guide. Before prescribing, consult the approved technical dossier for the product with a commercial name.

There are data on compatibility with other additives and the conservation time of the different mixtures available on request.

Additions should be made aseptically.

Validity period after mixing the chambers of the bag

The physical and chemical stability of the three-chamber bag mixed for 48 hours at 20-25°C has been demonstrated. From a microbiological point of view, the product should be used immediately. If not used immediately, the storage time until use and the conditions prior to use are the responsibility of the user and should not normally exceed 24 hours at 2-8°C, unless the mixture was made in controlled and validated aseptic conditions.

Validity period after mixing with additives

The physical and chemical stability of the mixed three-chamber bag with additives has been demonstrated for 8 days, i.e., 6 days at 2-8°C followed by 48 hours at 20-25°C, including the duration of administration. From a microbiological point of view, the product should be used immediately after adding the additives. If not used immediately, the storage time until use and the conditions prior to use are the responsibility of the user. The storage time should not normally exceed 24 hours at 2-8°C, unless the mixture was made in aseptic and validated conditions.

1. Opening the outer bag

•To remove the outer bag, hold it in a horizontal position and tear along the notch towards the ports along the top edge (A)

•Then, simply tear along the container; separate the outer bag and discard it, along with the oxygen absorber (B).

2. Mixing

•Place the bag on a flat surface.

•Roll the bag from the hanging ring towards the ports, first with the right hand and then applying constant pressure with the left hand until the vertical peel seals open. The vertical peel seals open due to the pressure of the liquid. The peel seals can also be opened before removing the outer bag.
