Summary of product characteristics


Adverse Reactions

ADVERSE REACTIONS Citrate reactions or toxicity may occur with the infusion of blood products containing citrate anticoagulant 1. 9 11 . The recipient of the citrated blood product should be monitored for the signs and symptoms of citrate toxicity 1. 9 11 . 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 chills, stomach cramps, or pressure in the chest, followed by more severe reactions that are characterized by hypotension and possible cardiac arrhythmia 1. 9 11 . Citrate toxicity may occur more frequently in patients that are hypothermic 10 , have impaired liver or renal function 10 , or have low calcium levels because of an underlying disease 9 .

Contraindications

CONTRAINDICATIONS NOT FOR DIRECT INTRAVENOUS INFUSION.

Description

DESCRIPTION triCitrasol ® Anticoagulant Sodium Citrate Concentrate, 46.7% Trisodium Citrate, is a sterile, non-pyrogenic solution of Trisodium Citrate (Dihydrate), USP. Each 30 mL of concentrate contains: Trisodium Citrate, dihydrate, USP 14.0 grams Water for Injection, USP q.s. pH adjusted with Citric Acid pH: 6.3 – 6.6 Single patient use only, on a single occasion. Chemical Structure

Dosage And Administration

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION The apheresis system will control the amount of the citrate/6% solution of HES that is added to the whole blood and the method of administration of the solution. Refer to the Operator's Manual of the apheresis medical device.

Indications And Usage

INDICATIONS AND USAGE triCitrasol ® Anticoagulant Sodium Citrate Concentrate, 46.7% Trisodium Citrate, is an anticoagulant used in granulocytapheresis procedures (granulocyte collection by apheresis). Just prior to performing granulocytapheresis, aseptically add 30 mL of triCitrasol ® to 500 mL of the 6% solution of Hydroxyethyl Starch (HES), e.g. Hespan ® 2-8 . Agitate the resultant solution for 1 minute to assure a uniform concentration of anticoagulant. The resultant solution of triCitrasol ® and 6% solution of HES contains the following concentration depending upon the volume used: Volume of triCitrasol ® Volume of HES Total Volume Final Concentration of triCitrasol ® 30 mL 500 mL (measured from HES bag) 530 mL 2.6% 30 mL 558 mL (injected directly into HES bag) 588 mL 2.4% The triCitrasol ® /HES solution is stable for up to 24 hours at room temperature after mixing. Refer to the manufacturer's Operator's Manual of the apheresis medical device for the directions to perform the granulocytapheresis procedure.

Warnings

WARNINGS CONCENTRATED ANTICOAGULANT – DILUTE PRIOR TO USE.

Overdosage

OVERDOSAGE Since the bottle of triCitrasol ® contains only 30mL of the product, it is impossible to overdose the addition of the product to the 6% solution of HES. However, in the event of a reaction to the infusion of citrated blood products, evaluate the patient and institute appropriate corrective actions 1, 9 .

Drug Interactions

Drug Interactions There are no adverse reactions for the addition of the product to the rouleaux agent.

Clinical Pharmacology

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY A sodium citrate solution acts as an anticoagulant by the action of the citrate ion chelating free ionized calcium; thus, the calcium ion is unavailable to the coagulation system 1 .
