More Information
- Instructions for use:
– Remove white screw cap and set to side for future use. Attach syringe to luer lock on Chemobloc vial venting spike. With vial in an upright position, insert chemo spike/syringe into vial in a downward motion.
– Invert vial and begin to slowly withdraw diluent. Bubbles of sterile air can be seen rising in diluent.
– When syringe is approximately 1/2 full, eject any unwanted air back into diluent vial. Resume withdrawing until desired volume of diluent is in syringe.
– Invert vial gain, so that vial is in an upright position. Remove the spike/syringe from vial.
– Place vial, containing powder chemo drug, in an upright position on a flat surface. Insert syringe/spike in a downward motion.
– Slowly disperse diluent into vial containing drug concentrate, while maintaining a downward motion.
– Gently rotate vial, with syringe/spike still attached, to properly mix drug. (Refer to drug manufacturers directions for more specific information on mixing individual drugs.)
– Invert vial again (so that it is now positioned above syringe) and slowly begin to withdraw reconstituted chemo drug.
– NOTE: Injecting large amounts of air while holding vial above syringe may wet the hydrophobic filter and hamper venting action.
– Carefully disconnect syringe from spike/vial. Carefully re-attach white screw cap to top inlet of chemo spike.
– Discard capped Chemobloc vial venting spike into proper hazardous waste container.
– Follow manufacturers instructions concerning application of chemo drugs.
