Generic Name: platelet additive 3

Over-the-Counter (OTC)

Brand Names:

Intersol

Description: InterSol solution is an isotonic solution designed to replace a proportion of the plasma used in the storage of platelets. The solution contains constituents that are naturally occurring components present in many cellular systems: sodium acetate as a nutrient, sodium citrate to prevent platelet clumping and activation, sodium phosphate for buffering and sodium chloride for osmolarity.

Uses

6B7800S 12x 800 mL Rx only Store at Controlled Room Temperature. Protect from freezing. Avoid excessive heat. Definition of "Controlled Room Temperature": "A temperature maintained thermostatically that encompasses the usual and customary working environment of 20° to 25°C (68° to 77°F); that results in a mean kinetic temperature calculated to be not more than 25°C; and that allows for excursions between 15°C and 30°C (59° and 86°F) that are experienced in pharmacies, hospitals, and warehouses. Provided the mean kinetic temperature remains in the allowed range, transient spikes up to 40°C are permitted as long as they do not exceed 24 hours ...

Dosage

Dosage and Administration: InterSol solution is to be used with the AMICUS Separator System or the TRIMA ACCEL system. For full instructions on the use of InterSol solution, see the Operator's Manual for the respective platelet collection system.

Side Effects

Adverse Reactions: InterSol solution is added to leukoreduced platelet concentrates after the apheresis procedure is complete. It is not for direct intravenous infusion. InterSol solution is not expected to cause adverse events other than those normally associated with platelet transfusion.

Warnings

Warnings and Precautions: • InterSol solution is NOT FOR DIRECT INTRAVENOUS INFUSION. • Do not use if particulate matter is present or if the solution is cloudy. • Do not use if the container is damaged, leaking or if there is any visible sign of deterioration. • Do not vent. • Do not reuse. Discard unused or partially used InterSol solution. • Protect from sharp objects. • Verify that the InterSol solution has been securely attached to the PAS Connector line to avoid disconnection and leaks. Contraindications: InterSol solution is added to apheresis-derived leukoreduced platelet concentrates after the apheresis procedure is complete. It is not for direct intravenous infusion. There are no known contraindications associated with the use of InterSol solution for the preparation of InterSol platelets.

Storage

How Supplied/Storage and Handling : 800 mL sterile solution in a non-PVC plastic container with a sterile, non-pyrogenic fluid path. The InterSol solution container is supplied in a vented plastic overwrap covering that serves as a dust cover for the container. The dust cover is not a sterility barrier and is not an element that defines the expiration date of the InterSol product.
