INTERSOL

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. InterSol solution does not have a pharmacological effect in vivo, but rather acts to provide the appropriate environment and nutrients in lieu of a portion of the plasma normally used for the storage of platelets.

B7800S 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 ... The mean kinetic temperature is a calculated value that may be used as an isothermal storage temperature that simulates the non isothermal effects of storage temperature variations."

Dispose of waste in appropriate biohazard container or according to local regulatory requirements. Indications and Usage: InterSol solution is an isotonic solution designed to replace a proportion of the plasma used in the storage of leukoreduced apheresis platelets under standard blood banking conditions. There is no direct therapeutic effect to be expected from the formulation. The solution should never be infused directly into a patient. InterSol platelets are leukocyte-reduced apheresis platelet concentrates that are stored in a mix of 65% InterSol and 35% plasma, nominal. InterSol platelets prepared within the ranges described in the apheresis system Operator's Manuals may be stored for up to 5 days at 20-24°C, with continuous agitation.

: 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.

: 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.

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.
