1. What Accusol 35 Potassium 4 mmol/l is and what it is used for
Accusol 35 Potassium 4 mmol/l is a solution for hemofiltration, hemodialysis, and hemodiafiltration.
Accusol 35 Potassium 4 mmol/l is indicated in patients with acute or chronic renal failure.
It cleans the blood of waste products; corrects acidosis or alkalinity and abnormal levels of salts in the blood. As a replacement solution in hemodiafiltration and hemofiltration, it can also be used as a source of salts and water for hydration.
The Accusol 35 solutions are presented in a two-compartment bag (bicompartimental) that does not contain PVC. A long seal (seal between the chambers) separates the two chambers. Before use, the solutions from the two Accusol 35 chambers must first be mixed by opening the long seal (seal between the chambers), followed by the opening of the short SafetyMoon seal located near the access port.
Accusol 35 Potassium 4 mmol/l will be given to you especially if you have normal or low potassium levels.
The Accusol 35 solutions should only be used under the supervision of a doctor.
2. What you need to know before you are given Accusol 35 Potassium 4 mmol/l
Your doctor will make sure that you have adequate blood access to perform the procedure and that there is no risk of bleeding.
The Accusol 35 solutions are available in different concentrations of potassium and glucose. The levels of potassium and glucose in your blood will be carefully checked to ensure that the most suitable Accusol 35 formulation is used.
Your doctor will not give you Accusol 35 Potassium 4 mmol/l
if you do not have good access to your veins and/or arteries
if you have a high risk of bleeding
if you have high levels of bicarbonate in your blood
if you have high levels of potassium in your blood
if you have a clinical condition in which the levels of acidity or alkalinity in your blood may worsen
if you have a renal disorder in which waste products cannot be removed from the blood by hemofiltration.
Warnings and precautions
Accusol 35 Potassium 4 mmol/l should only be used by or under the supervision of a doctor with experience in hemofiltration, hemodialysis, or hemodiafiltration techniques.
Your doctor
will measure the acidity, salt levels, and waste products in your blood
will ensure that the levels are correct and will closely monitor them during treatment
will ensure that a good fluid balance is maintained
will closely monitor your blood glucose levels, especially if you are diabetic
will regularly measure the potassium levels in your blood
will ensure, before use, that the contents of both chambers are mixed by opening the long seal (seal between the chambers), followed by the opening of the short SafetyMoon seal located near the access port. If the doctor performs perfusion with an unmixed solution, your bicarbonate level in the blood may increase. This can cause side effects such as nausea, drowsiness, headache, changes in heart rhythm, and difficulty breathing.
