The recipient of the blood product containing citrate should be monitored for the signs and symptoms of citrate toxicity. The signs and symptoms of citrate toxicity begin with paresthesia, a "tingling" sensation around the mouth or in the extremities, followed by severe reactions that are characterized by hypotension and possible cardiac arrhythmia. Citrate toxicity may occur more frequently in patients who are hypothermic, have impaired liver or renal function, or have low calcium levels because of an underlying disease. Citrate reactions or toxicity may occur with the injection of blood products containing citrate anticoagulant. The recipient of the blood product containing citrate should be monitored for the signs and symptoms of citrate toxicity.

Dosage And Administration
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION ANTICOAGULANT CITRATE DEXTROSE SOLUTION USP (ACD) SOLUTION A is added to blood products collected for extracorporeal processing. ( 2 ) ANTICOAGULANT CITRATE DEXTROSE SOLUTION USP (ACD) SOLUTION A may only be used with devices that prepare Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) products for extracorporeal use. For instructions on the use of the solution see the device operator's manual. ( 2.1 ) Follow the directions for drawing ANTICOAGULANT CITRATE DEXTROSE SOLUTION USP (ACD) SOLUTION A into a syringe for further processing of the collected blood product. ( 2.2 ) 2.1 General Dosing Information ANTICOAGULANT CITRATE DEXTROSE SOLUTION USP (ACD) SOLUTION A is added to blood products collected for extracorporeal processing. The solution is manually added to collected blood products to facilitate extracorporeal processing. The amount of solution added is specified by the manufacturer of the processing set. It is not intended for direct intravenous infusion. For instructions on the use of the solution with the processing set, see the device operator's manual. 2.2 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 (5) ] : 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.
