Uses
INDICATIONS AND USAGE Technetium Tc 99m red blood cells are used for blood pool imaging, including cardiac first pass and gated equilibrium imaging and for detection of sites of gastrointestinal bleeding.
Dosage
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION The Instructions for Preparation must be carefully followed for preparing technetium Tc 99m red blood cells using Ultratag™ RBC. The suggested dose range of technetium Tc 99m red blood cells in the average patient (70 kg) is 370 MBq (10 mCi) to 740 MBq (20 mCi). The patient dose should be measured by a suitable radioactivity calibration system immediately prior to administration. Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit. Aseptic procedures and a shielded syringe should be employed in preparing and withdrawing doses for administration to patients. The user should wear waterproof gloves during the administration procedure.

WARNINGS None known. CONTRAINDICATIONS None known.
Pregnancy
Pregnancy Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with technetium Tc 99m red blood cells. It is also not known whether this drug can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproductive capacity. Technetium Tc 99m red blood cells should be administered to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed. Ideally, examinations using radiopharmaceuticals, especially those elective in nature, of a woman of childbearing capability should be performed during the first few (approximately 10) days following the onset of menses.
Storage
Storage The kit should be stored at 20° to 25°C (68° to 77°F) [See USP Controlled Room Temperature]. Syringe I should be protected from light if not stored in the kit tray.
