Administration Ensure solution is the ANTICOAGULANT CITRATE DEXTROSE SOLUTION USP (ACD) SOLUTION A and is within the expiration date. Inspect the solution bag. Do not use if the solution bag is damaged, leaking or if there is any visible sign of deterioration. Use only if solution is clear and free of particulate matter.
Protect from sharp objects. Directions for drawing the ANTICOAGULANT CITRATE DEXTROSE SOLUTION USP (ACD) SOLUTION A from the solution bag. When directed by the processing set instructions and device operator's manual: Open the foil pouch containing the solution by finding the notch in the foil overwrap and pulling down to present the clear overwrapped solution bag.
Open the clear overwrap material by holding the peelable tabs between your thumb and forefinger. Gently pull the peelable tabs along the top to open the overwrap at both corners. Once both corners are opened, gently peel along the length of the overwrap. Do not place the ANTICOAGULANT CITRATE DEXTROSE SOLUTION USP (ACD) SOLUTION A solution bag into the sterile field.
The clear overwrap is not considered a sterile barrier. Before use, perform the following checks [see Warnings and Precautions ] : Check for leaks by gently squeezing the bag. If leaks are found, discard the solution bag. Ensure that the solution is the ANTICOAGULANT CITRATE DEXTROSE SOLUTION USP (ACD) SOLUTION A and is within the expiration date.
Inspect the solution in adequate light. Solution showing cloudiness, haze, or particulate matter should not be used. Aseptically prepare the Needleless Access Valve (NAV). Using an appropriate syringe and luer, connect to the NAV. Draw into the syringe the amount of ANTICOAGULANT CITRATE DEXTROSE SOLUTION USP (ACD) SOLUTION A required by the processing set instructions and device operator's manual.
Remove the syringe from the NAV and proceed according to the processing set instructions and device operator's manual. Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and solution bag permit.
