1. WHAT PRISMASOL IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR

Prismasol contains the active substances calcium chloride dlhydrate, magnesium chloride hexahydrate, glucose monohydrate, lactic acid solution 90% w/w. sodium chloride, potassium chloride and sodium hydrogen carbonate.

Prismasol is used in the treatment of renal failure as a solution for haemofiltration or haemodiafiltra-tion (as a replacement for fluid lost from the blood passing through a Alter) and continuous haemodialysis or haemodiafiltration (the blood flows on one side of a dialysis membrane while a haemodialysis solution flows on the other side of the membrane).

Prismasolsolution may also be

used in case of drug poisoning with dialysable or filterable substances. Prismasol 4 mmol/l Potassium is indicated particularly in patients who are normokalaemic (a normal concentration of potassium in the blood). 1

OTHER MEDICINES AND PRISMASOL

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are given, have recently been given or might be given any other medicines.

The blood concentration of some of your other medicines may be reduced during the treatment. Your doctor will decide if your medication should be changed.

In particular tell your doctor if you are using either of the following:

•    Digitalis medicine (for treatment of certain heart conditions) as the risk of cardiac arrhythmia (irregular or rapid beating of the heart) caused by digitalis Is increased during hypokalaemia (low concentration of potassium in your blood).

•    Vitamin D and medicinal products containing calcium as they can increase the risk of hyper-calcaemia (a high concentration of calcium in your blood).

•    Any addition of sodium hydrogen carbonate found in other medicines, as it may increase the risk of metabolic alkalosis (excess of bicarbonate in your blood).

PREGNANCY AND BREASTFEEDING

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine. As all medicines, your doctor will decide If you should be given Prismasol if you are pregnant or breast-feeding.

3. HOW PRISMASOL IS USED

Always use this medicine exactly as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.

The volume of Prismasol used will depend on your clinical condition

After reconstitution:

The solutions in the compartments A (250 ml) and B (4750 ml) are mixed to give one reconstituted solution (5000 ml) of which the composition is:


and the target fluid balance. The dose volume is therefore at the discretion of the responsible doctor. Administration route: Intravenous use and for haemodialysis.

For instructions for use, please see section “The following information is intended for healthcare professionals only”.

IF YOU THINK YOU ARE GIVEN MORE PRISMASOL THAN YOU THINK YOU SHOULD BE

Your fluid balance, electrolyte and acid-base balance will be carefully monitored.

Overdose will result In fluid overload if you suffer from renal failure. Overdose could lead to severe consequences, such as congestive heart failure, electrolyte cr acid-base disturbances.

Continued application of haemofiltration will remove excess fluid and electrolytes. In case of hyperhydration. the ultrafiltration must be increased and the rate of administration of the solution for haemofiltration reduced. In the case of a severe dehydration it is necessary to cease ultrafiltration and to increase the inflow of solution for haemofiltration appropriately.

If you have any further questions on the use of this medicine, please ask your doctor, pharmacist or

4. POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS

The following information is intended for healthcare professionals only

UK I IE i MT


Prismasol14 mmol/l Potassium Solution for haemodialysis/ haemofiltration PRECAUTIONS

Carefully follow the instructions for use/handling.

The electrolyte solution must be mixed with the buffer solution before use to obtain the reconstituted solution suitable for haemofiltration, haemodiafiltration or continuous haemodialysis.

Heating of the solution to body temperature (+37'C) must be carefully controlled verifying that the solution is clear and without particles.

Close monitoring of kalaemia must be carried out to enable the correct selection of the most appropriate potassium concentration.

The inorganic phosphate concentration should be measured regularly. Inorganic phosphate must be substituted in cases of low level of phosphate in the blood.

In case of fluid imbalance, the clinical situation must be carefully monitored and fluid balance must be restored.

The use of contaminated haemofiltration and haemodialysis solution may cause sepsis and shock. METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION Intravenous use and for haemodialysis. Prismasol. when used as a substitution solution is administered into the circuit before (pre-dilution) or after the haemofilter (post-dilution).

POSOLOGY

The volume of Prismasol used will depend on the clinical condition of the patient and the target fluid balance. The dose volume is therefore at the discretion of the responsible physician.

Flow rates for the substitution solution in haemofiltration and haemodiafiltration are:

Adults and

adolescents: 500 - 3000 ml/hour Children:    15-35ml/kg/hour

Flow rates for the dialysis solution (dialysate) in continuous haemodialysis and continuous haemodiafiltration are:

Adults and

adolescents: 500 - 2500 ml/hour Children:    15 - 30 ml/kg/hour

Commonly used flow rates in adults are about 2000 ml/h which correspond to a daily amount of 551. INSTRUCTIONS FOR HANDLING The solution is packaged in a two-compartment bag.

Aseptic technique should be used throughout the administration to the patient.

Use only if the solution is dear and the overwrap is undamaged.

All seals must be intact. If leakage is discovered, discard the solution immediately since sterility can no

The large compartment B is fitted with an injection port for the possible addition of other necessary drugs after reconstitution of the solution. It is the responsibility of the physician to judge the compatibility of an additive medication with the Prismasol solution by checking for eventual colour change and/ or eventual precipitation, insoluble complexes or crystals. The Instructions for Use of the medication to be added must be consulted.

Before adding a medication, verify it is soluble and stable in water at the pH of Prismasol (pH of reconstituted solutions is 7.0 to 8.5). Medication should only be added to the solution under the responsibility of a physician in the following way: Remove any fluid from the injection port, hold the bag upside down, insert the drug through the injection port and mix thoroughly. The solution must be administered immediately.

I    Immediately before use remove the overwrap from the bag and mix the solutions in the two different compartments. Hold the small compartment with both hands and squeeze it until an opening is created in the peel seal between the two compartments. (See figure I below)

II    Push with both hands on the large compartment until the

compartments is entirely open. (See figure II below)

III    Ensure complete mixing of the solution by shaking the bag gently. The solution is now ready for use, and can be hung on the equipment. (See figure III below)

IV    The dialysis or replacement line may be connected to either of the two access ports.

IV.a If the luer access is used, repull motion, and connect the male luer lock on the dialysis or replacement line to the female luer receptor on the bag using a push and twist motion. Ensure that the connection is fully seated and tighten. The connector is now open. Verify that the fluid is flowing freely. (See figure IV.a below).

When the dialysis or replacement line is disconnected from the luer connector, the connector will close and the flow of the solution will stop. The luer port is a needle-less and swabbable

IV.blf the injection port is used, first remove the snap-off cap. Then introduce the spike through the rubber septum. Verify that the fluid is flowing freely. (See figure IV.b below)

STORAGE PRECAUTIONS

Chemical and physical in-use stability of the reconstituted solution has been demonstrated for 24 hours at +22°C. From a chemical point of view, the reconstituted solution shall be used immediately. If not used immediately in-use Storage times and conditions prior to use are the responsibility of the user and shall not be longer than 24 hours including the duration of the treatment.

The reconstituted solution is for single use only. Discard any unused solution immediately after use.

Use only with appropriate extra-renal replacement equipment.

1. WHAT PRISMASOL IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR

Prismasol contains the active substances calcium chloride dihydrate, magnesium chloride hexahydrate. glucose monohydrate, lactic acid solution 90% w/w, sodium chloride, potassium chloride and sodium hydrogen carbonate.

Prismasol is used in the treatment of renal failure as a solution for haemofiltration or haemodiafiltra-tion (as a replacement for fluid lost from the blood passing through a filter) and continuous haemodialysis or haemodiafiltration (the blood flows on one side of a dialysis membrane while a haemodialysis solution flows on the other side of the membrane).

Prismasol solution may also be

used in case of drug poisoning with dialysable or filterable substances. Prismasol 4 mmol/l Potassium is indicated particularly in patients who are norrnokalaemic (a normal concentration of potassium in the blood).

2. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU ARE GIVEN 6 7

OTHER MEDICINES AND PRISMASOL

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are given, have recently been given or might be given any other medicines.

The blood concentration of some of your other medicines may be reduced during the treatment. Your doctor will decide if your medication should be changed.

In particular tell your doctor if you are using either of the following:

•    Digitalis medicine (for treatment of certain heart conditions) as the risk of cardiac arrhythmia (irregular or rapid beating of the heart) caused by digitalis is increased during hypokalaemia (low concentration of potassium in your blood).

•    Vitamin D and medicinal products containing calcium as they can increase the risk of hyper-calcaemia (a high concentration of calcium in your blood).

•    Any addition of sodium hydrogen carbonate found in other medicines, as it may increase the risk of metabolic alkalosis (excess of bicarbonate in your blood).

PREGNANCY AND BREASTFEEDING

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine. As all medicines, your doctor will decide if you should Be given Prismasol if you are pregnant or breast-feeding.

and the target fluid balance. The dose volume is therefore at the discretion of the responsible doctor.

use and for haemodialysis.

For instructions for use, please see section “The following information is intended for healthcare professionals only".

IF YOU THINK YOU ARE GIVEN MORE PRISMASOL THAN YOU THINK YOU SHOULD BE Your fluid balance, electrolyte and acid-base balance will be carefully monitored.

Overdose will result in fluid overload if you suffer from renal failure. Overdose could lead to severe consequences, such as congestive heart failure, electrolyte or acid-base disturbances.

Continued application of haemofiltration will remove excess fluid and electrolytes. In case of hyperhydration, the ultrafiltration must be increased and the rate of administration of the solution for haemofiltration reduced. In the case of a severe dehydration it is necessary to cease ultrafiltration and to increase the inflow of solution for haemofiltration appropriately, if you have any further questions on the use of this medicine, please ask your doctor, pharmacist or

4. POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.

The following undesirable effects related to the solution are conceivable: Hyper- or hypohydration (abnormally high or low volume of water in your body), electrolyte (salt in your blood) disturbances, hy-pophosphataemia (abnormally low concentration of phosphate in your blood), hyperglycaemia (abnormally high concentration of glucose in your blood) and metabolic alkalosis (a process that primarily raises the plasma bicarbonate concentration). Some undesirable effects related to the dialysis treatments can occur, such as nausea (feeling sick), vomiting (being sick), muscle cramps and hypotension (low blood pressure).

If you get any side effects, talk to your doctor, pharmacist or nurse. This includes any possible side effects not listed in this leaflet.

The following information is intended for healthcare professionals only

PrismasoP 4 mmol/l Potassium Solution for haemodialysis/ haemofiltration PRECAUTIONS

Carefully follow the instructions for use/handling.

The electrolyte solution must be mixed with the buffer solution before use to obtain the reconstituted solution suitable for haemofiltration, haemodiafiltration or continuous haemodialysis.

Heating of the solution to body temperature (+37'C) must be carefully controlled verifying that the solution is clear and without particles.

Close monitoring of kalaemia must be carried out to enable the correct selection of the most appropriate potassium concentration.

The inorganic phosphate concentration should be measured regularly. Inorganic phosphate must

of phosphate in the blood.

In case of fluid imbalance, the clinical situation must be carefully monitored and fluid balance must be restored.

The use of contaminated haemofiltration and Haemodialysis solution may cause sepsis and shock. METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION

Intravenous use and for haemodi-

substitution solution is administered into the circuit before (pre-dilution) or after the haemofilter (postdilution).

POSOLOGY

The volume of Prismasol used will depend on the clinical condition of the patient and the target fluid balance, The dose volume is therefore at the discretion of the responsible physician.

Flow rates for the substitution solution in haemofiltration and haemodiafiltration are:

Adults and

adolescents: 500 - 3000 ml/hour Children:    15-35 ml/kg/hour

Flow rates for the dialysis solution (dialysate) in continuous haemodialysis and continuous haemodiafiltration are:

Adults and

adolescents: 500 - 2500 ml/hour Children:    15-30 ml/kg/hour

Commonly used flow rates in adults are about 2000 ml/h which correspond to a daily amount of 551. INSTRUCTIONS FOR HANDLING The solution is packaged in a two-compartment bag.

Aseptic technique should be used throughout the administration to the patient.

Use only if the solution is clear and the overwrap is undamaged.

All seals must be intact. If leakage is discovered, discard the solution immediately since sterility can no

The large compartment B is fitted with an injection port for the possible addition of other necessary drugs after reconstitution of the solution. It is the responsibility of the physician to judge the compatibility of an additive medication with the Prismasol solution by checking for eventual colour change and/ or eventual precipitation, insoluble complexes or crystals. The Instructions for Use of the medication to be added must be consulted.

Before adding a medication, verify it is soluble and stable in water at the pH of Prismasol (pH of reconstituted solutions is 7.0 to 8.5). Medication should only be added to the solution under the responsibility of a physician in the following way: Remove any fluid from the injection port, hold the bag upside down, insert the drug through the injection port and mix thoroughly. The solution must be administered immediately.

I    Immediately Before use remove the overwrap from the bag and mix the solutions in the two different compartments. Hold the Small compartment with both hands and squeeze it until an opening is created in the peel seal between the two compartments. (See figure I below)

II    Push with both hands on the large compartment until the peel seal between the two compartments is entirely open. (See figure II below)

III    Ensure complete mixing of the solution by shaking the bag gently. The solution is now ready for use. and can be hung on the equipment. (See figure III below)

IV    The dialysis or replacement line may be connected to either of the two access ports,

IV.a If the luer access is used, remove the cap and connect the male luer lock on the dialysis or replacement line to the female luer receptor on the bag; tighten. Using thumb and fingers, break the blue frangible pin at its base, and move it back and forth. Do not use a tool. Verify that the pin is completely separated and that the fluid is flowing freely. The pin will remain in the luer port during the treatment. (See figure IV.a below) IV.blf the injection port is used, first remove the snap-off cap. Then introduce the spike through the rubber septum. Verify that the fluid is flowing freely. (See figure IV.b below)

Use only with appropriate extra-renal replacement equipment.

STORAGE PRECAUTIONS

Chemical and physical in-use stability of the reconstituted solution has been demonstrated for 24 hours at +22°C. From a chemical point of view, the reconstituted solution shall be used immediately, if not used immediately in-use storage times and conditions prior to use are the responsibility of the user and shall not be longer than 24 hours including the duration of the treatment.

The reconstituted solution is for single use only. Discard any unused solution immediately after use.

•    Keep this leaflet. You may need to read it again.

•    If you have any further questions, ask your doctor, pharmacist or nurse.

•    If you get any side effects, talk to your doctor, pharmacist or nurse. This includes any possible side effects not listed in this leaflet.

What is in this leaflet:

1.    What Prismasol is and what it is used for

2.    What you need to know before you are given Prismasol

3.    How to use Prismasol

4.    Possible side effects

5.    How to store Prismasol

6.    Contents of the pack and other information

1.    What Prismasol is and what it is used for

Prismasol contains the active substances calcium chloride dihydrate, magnesium chloride hexahydrate, glucose monohydrate, lactic acid solution 90% w/w, sodium chloride, potassium chloride and sodium hydrogen carbonate.

Prismasol is used in the treatment of renal failure as a solution for haemofiltration or haemodiafiltration (as a replacement for fluid lost from the blood passing through a filter) and continuous haemodialysis or haemodiafiltration (the blood flows on one side of a dialysis membrane while a haemodialysis solution flows on the other side of the membrane).

Prismasol solution may also be used in case of drug poisoning with dialysable or filterable substances.

Prismasol 4 mmol/l Potassium is indicated particularly in patients who are normokalaemic (a normal concentration of potassium in the blood).

2.    What you need to know before you are given Prismasol

Do not use Prismasol 4 mmol/l Potassium in the following cases:

•    Hyperkalaemia (a high concentration of potassium in your blood)

•    Metabolic alkalosis (a process that primarily raises the plasma bicarbonate concentration)

Do not use haemofiltration/ dialysis in the following cases:

•    Renal failure with pronounced hypercatabolism (abnormally increased catabolism), if the uraemic symptoms (symptoms caused by high concentration of urea in your blood) cannot be corrected with haemofiltration,

•    Insufficient arterial pressure in the vascular access,

•    Systemic anticoagulation (reduced clotting of your blood), if there is a high risk of haemorrhage (bleeding).

Warnings and precautions

Talk to your doctor, pharmacist or nurse before you are given Prismasol.

The solution should be used only by, or under the direction of a doctor competent in renal failure

treatments using haemofiltration, haemodiafiltration and continuous haemodialysis.

Before and during treatment, your blood condition will be checked, e.g. your acid-base balance and concentrations of electrolytes (salts in the blood).

Your blood glucose concentration should be closely monitored, especially if you are diabetic.

Other medicines and Prismasol

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are given, have recently been given or might be given any other medicines.

Please tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or have recently taken any other medicines, including medicines obtained without a prescription.

The blood concentration of some of your other medicines may be reduced during the treatment. Your doctor will decide if your medication should be changed.

In particular tell your doctor if you are using either of the following:

•    Digitalis medicine (for treatment of certain heart conditions) as the risk of cardiac arrhythmia (irregular or rapid beating of the heart) caused by digitalis is increased during hypokalaemia (low concentration of potassium in your blood).

•    Vitamin D and medicinal products containing calcium as they can increase the risk of hypercalcaemia (a high concentration of calcium in your blood).

•    Any addition of sodium hydrogen carbonate found in other medicines, as it may increase the risk of metabolic alkalosis (excess of bicarbonate in your blood).

Pregnancy and breast-feeding

If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.

As all medicines, your doctor will decide if you should be given Prismasol if you are pregnant or breast-feeding.

Driving and using machines

Prismasol is not known to affect your ability to drive or use machines.

3. How Prismasol is used

Always use this medicine exactly as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.

The volume of Prismasol used will depend on your clinical condition and the target fluid balance. The dose volume is therefore at the discretion of the responsible doctor.

Administration route: Intravenous use and for haemodialysis.

For instructions for use, please see section “The following information is intended for healthcare professionals only”.

If you think you are given more Prismasol than you think you should be

Your fluid balance, electrolyte and acid-base balance will be carefully monitored.

Overdose will result in fluid overload if you suffer from renal failure.

Overdose could lead to severe consequences, such as congestive heart failure, electrolyte or acid-base disturbances.

Continued application of haemofiltration will remove excess fluid and electrolytes. In case of hyperhydration, the ultrafiltration must be increased and the rate of administration of the solution for haemofiltration reduced. In the case of a severe dehydration it is necessary to cease ultrafiltration and to increase the inflow of solution for haemofiltration appropriately.

If you have any further questions on the use of this medicine, please ask your doctor, pharmacist or nurse.

4. Possible side effects

Like all medicines, this medicine,can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.

The following undesirable effects related to the solution are conceivable: Hyper- or hypohydration (abnormally high or low volume of water in your body), electrolyte (salt in your blood) disturbances, hypophosphataemia (abnormally low concentration of phosphate in your blood), hyperglycaemia (abnormally high concentration of glucose in your blood) and metabolic alkalosis (a process that primarily raises the plasma bicarbonate concentration).

Some undesirable effects related to the dialysis treatments can occur, such as nausea (feeling sick), vomiting (being sick), muscle cramps and hypotension (low blood pressure).

If you get any side effects, talk to your doctor, pharmacist or nurse. This includes any possible side effects not listed in this leaflet.

5. How to store Prismasol

Keep this medicine out of the sight and reach of children.

Do not store below +4°C.

This leaflet was last revised in 07/2012.

The following information is intended for healthcare professionals only:

Precautions:

Carefully follow the instructions for use / handling.

The electrolyte solution must be mixed with the buffer solution before use to obtain the reconstituted solution suitable for haemofiltration, haemodiafiltration or continuous haemodialysis.

Heating of the solution to body temperature (+37°C) must be carefully controlled verifying that the solution is clear and without particles.

Close monitoring of kalaemia must be carried out to enable the correct selection of the most appropriate potassium concentration.

The inorganic phosphate concentration should be measured regularly. Inorganic phosphate must be substituted in cases of low level of phosphate in the blood.

In case of fluid imbalance, the clinical situation must be carefully monitored and fluid balance must be restored.

The use of contaminated haemofiltration and haemodialysis solution may cause sepsis and shock.

Method of administration:

Intravenous use and for haemodialysis. Prismasol, when used as a substitution solution is administered into the circuit before (pre-dilution) or after the haemofilter (post-dilution).

Posology:

The volume of Prismasol used will depend on the clinical condition of the patient and the target fluid balance. The dose volume is therefore at the discretion of the responsible physician.

Flow rates for the substitution solution in haemofiltration and haemodiafiltration are:

Adults and adolescents:    500 - 3000 ml/hour

Children:    15 - 35 ml/kg/hour

Flow rates for the dialysis solution (dialysate) in continuous haemodialysis and continuous haemodiafiltration are:

Adults and adolescents:    500 - 2500 ml/hour

Children:    15 - 30 ml/kg/hour

Commonly used flow rates in adults are about 2000 ml/h which correspond to a daily amount of 55 l. Instructions for handling:

The solution is packaged in a two-compartment bag.

Aseptic technique should be used throughout the administration to the patient.

Use only if the solution is clear and the overwrap is undamaged. All seals must be intact. If leakage is discovered, discard the solution immediately since sterility can no longer be assured.

The large compartment B is fitted with an injection port for the possible addition of other necessary drugs after reconstitution of the solution. It is the responsibility of the physician to judge the compatibility of an additive medication with the Prismasol solution by checking for eventual colour change and/or eventual precipitation, insoluble complexes or crystals. The Instructions for Use of the medication to be added must be consulted.

Before adding a medication, verify it is soluble and stable in water at the pH of Prismasol (pH of reconstituted solutions is 7.0 to 8.5).

Medication should only be added to the solution under the responsibility of a physician in the following way: Remove any fluid from the injection port, hold the bag upside down, insert the drug through the injection port and mix thoroughly. The solution must be administered immediately.

I    Remove the overwrap from the bag immediately before use and discard any other packaging materials. Open the seal by breaking the frangible pin between the two compartments of the bag. The frangible pin will remain in the bag. (See figure I below)

II    Make sure all the fluid from the small compartment A is transferred into the large compartment B. (See figure II below)

III    Rinse the small compartment A twice by pressing the mixed solution back into the small compartment A and then back into the large compartment B. (See figure III below)

IV    When the small compartment A is empty: shake the large compartment B so that the contents mix completely. The solution is now ready for use and the bag can be hung on the equipment. (See figure IV below)

V    The dialysis or replacement line may be connected to either of the two access ports.

V.a If the luer access is used, remove the cap with a twist and pull motion, and connect the male luer lock on the dialysis or replacement line to the female luer receptor on the bag using a push and twist motion. Ensure that the connection is fully seated and tighten. The connector is now open. Verify that the fluid is flowing freely. (See figure V.a below)

When the dialysis or replacement line is disconnected from the luer connector, the connector will close and the flow of the solution will stop. The luer port is a needle-less and swabbable port.

V.b If the injection port is used, first remove the snap-off cap. Then introduce the spike through the rubber septum. Verify that the fluid is flowing freely. (See figure V.b below)

Use only with appropriate extra-renal replacement equipment.

Storage precautions:

Chemical and physical in-use stability of the reconstituted solution has been demonstrated for 24 hours at +22° C. From a chemical point of view, the reconstituted solution shall be used immediately. If not used immediately in-use storage times and conditions prior to use are the responsibility of the user and shall not be longer than 24 hours including the duration of the treatment.

The reconstituted solution is for single use only. Discard any unused solution immediately after use.

Prismasol contains the active substances calcium chloride dihydrate, magnesium chloride hexahydrate, glucose monohydrate, lactic acid solution 90% w/w, sodium chloride, potassium chloride and sodium hydrogen carbonate.

Prismasol is used in the treatment of renal failure as a solution for haemofiltration or haemodiafiltration (as a replacement for fluid lost from the blood passing through a filter) and continuous haemodialysis or haemodiafiltration (the blood flows on one side of a dialysis membrane while a haemodialysis solution flows on the other side of the membrane).

Prismasol solution may also be used in case of drug poisoning with dialysable or filterable substances.

Prismasol 4 mmol/l Potassium is indicated particularly in patients who are normokalaemic (a normal concentration of potassium in the blood).

2.    What you need to know before you are given Prismasol

Do not use Prismasol 4 mmol/l Potassium in the following cases:

•    Hyperkalaemia (a high concentration of potassium in your blood)

•    Metabolic alkalosis (a process that primarily raises the plasma bicarbonate concentration)

Do not use haemofiltration/ dialysis in the following cases:

•    Renal failure with pronounced hypercatabolism (abnormally increased catabolism), if the uraemic symptoms (symptoms caused by high concentration of urea in your blood) cannot be corrected with haemofiltration,

•    Insufficient arterial pressure in the vascular access,

•    Systemic anticoagulation (reduced clotting of your blood), if there is a high risk of haemorrhage (bleeding).

Warnings and precautions

Talk to your doctor, pharmacist or nurse before you are given Prismasol.

The solution should be used only by, or under the direction of a doctor competent in renal failure treatments using haemofiltration, haemodiafiltration and continuous haemodialysis.

Before and during treatment, your blood condition will be checked, e.g. your acid-base balance and concentrations of electrolytes (salts in the blood).

Your blood glucose concentration should be closely monitored, especially if you are diabetic.

Other medicines and Prismasol

other . Your


Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are given, have recently been given or might be given any medicines.

The blood concentration of some of your other medicines may be reduced during the treatment doctor will decide if your medication should be changed.

In particular tell your doctor if you are using either of the following:

•    Digitalis medicine (for treatment of certain heart conditions) as the risk of cardiac arrhythmia (irregular or rapid beating of the heart) caused by digitalis is increased during hypokalaemia (low concentration of potassium in your blood).

•    Vitamin D and medicinal products containing calcium as they can increase the risk of hypercalcaemia (a high concentration of calcium in your blood).

•    Any addition of sodium hydrogen carbonate found in other medicines, as it may increase the risk of metabolic alkalosis (excess of bicarbonate in your blood).

Pregnancy and breast-feeding

If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.

As all medicines, your doctor will decide if you should be given Prismasol if you are pregnant or breast-feeding.

Driving and using machines

Prismasol is not known to affect your ability to drive or use machines.

3. How Prismasol is used

Always use this medicine exactly as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.

The volume of Prismasol used will depend on your clinical condition and the target fluid balance. The dose volume is therefore at the discretion of the responsible doctor.

Administration route: Intravenous use and for haemodialysis.

For instructions for use, please see section “The following information is intended for healthcare professionals only”.

If you think you are given more Prismasol than you think you should be

Your fluid balance, electrolyte and acid-base balance will be carefully monitored.

Overdose will result in fluid overload if you suffer from renal failure.

Overdose could lead to severe consequences, such as congestive heart failure, electrolyte or acid-base disturbances.

Continued application of haemofiltration will remove excess fluid and electrolytes. In case of hyperhydration, the ultrafiltration must be increased and the rate of administration of the solution for haemofiltration reduced. In the case of a severe dehydration it is necessary to cease ultrafiltration and to increase the inflow of solution for haemofiltration appropriately.

If you have any further questions on the use of this medicine, please ask your doctor, pharmacist or nurse.

4.    Possible side effects

Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.

The following undesirable effects related to the solution are conceivable: Hyper- or hypohydration (abnormally high or low volume of water in your body), electrolyte (salt in your blood) disturbances, hypophosphataemia (abnormally low concentration of phosphate in your blood), hyperglycaemia (abnormally high concentration of glucose in your blood) and metabolic alkalosis (a process that primarily raises the plasma bicarbonate concentration).

Some undesirable effects related to the dialysis treatments can occur, such as nausea (feeling sick), vomiting (being sick), muscle cramps and hypotension (low blood pressure).

If you get any side effects, talk to your doctor, pharmacist or nurse. This includes any possible side effects not listed in this leaflet.

The following information is intended for healthcare professionals only:

Precautions:

Carefully follow the instructions for use / handling.

The electrolyte solution must be mixed with the buffer solution before use to obtain the reconstituted solution suitable for haemofiltration, haemodiafiltration or continuous haemodialysis.

Heating of the solution to body temperature (+37°C) must be carefully controlled verifying that the solution is clear and without particles.

Close monitoring of kalaemia must be carried out to enable the correct selection of the most appropriate potassium concentration.

The inorganic phosphate concentration should be measured regularly. Inorganic phosphate must be substituted in cases of low level of phosphate in the blood.

In case of fluid imbalance, the clinical situation must be carefully monitored and fluid balance must be restored.

The use of contaminated haemofiltration and haemodialysis solution may cause sepsis and shock. Method of administration:

Intravenous use and for haemodialysis. Prismasol, when used as a substitution solution is administered into the circuit before (pre-dilution) or after the haemofilter (post-dilution).

Posology:

The volume of Prismasol used will depend on the clinical condition of the patient and the target fluid balance. The dose volume is therefore at the discretion of the responsible physician.

Flow rates for the substitution solution in haemofiltration and haemodiafiltration are:

Adults and adolescents:    500 - 3000 ml/hour 15 - 35 ml/kg/hour

Children:


Flow rates for the dialysis solution (dialysate) in continuous haemodialysis and continuous haemodiafiltration are:

Adults and adolescents:    500 - 2500 ml/hour

Children:    15 - 30 ml/kg/hour

Commonly used flow rates in adults are about 2000 ml/h which correspond to a daily amount of 55 l. Instructions for handling:

The solution is packaged in a two-compartment bag.

Aseptic technique should be used throughout the administration to the patient.

Use only if the solution is clear and the overwrap is undamaged. All seals must be intact. If leakage is discovered, discard the solution immediately since sterility can no longer be assured.

The large compartment B is fitted with an injection port for the possible addition of other necessary drugs after reconstitution of the solution. It is the responsibility of the physician to judge the compatibility of an additive medication with the Prismasol solution by checking for eventual colour change and/or eventual precipitation, insoluble complexes or crystals. The Instructions for Use of the medication to be added must be consulted.

Before adding a medication, verify it is soluble and stable in water at the pH of Prismasol (pH of reconstituted solutions is 7.0 to 8.5).

Medication should only be added to the solution under the responsibility of a physician in the following way: Remove any fluid from the injection port, hold the bag upside down, insert the drug through the injection port and mix thoroughly. The solution must be administered immediately.

I    Immediately before use remove the overwrap from the bag and mix the solutions in the two different compartments. Hold the small compartment with both hands and squeeze it until an opening is created in the peel seal between the two compartments. (See figure I below)

II    Push with both hands on the large compartment until the peel seal between the two compartments is entirely open. (See figure II below)

III    Ensure complete mixing of the solution by shaking the bag gently. The solution is now ready for use, and can be hung on the equipment. (See figure III below)

IV    The dialysis or replacement line may be connected to either of the two access ports.

IV.a If the luer access is used, remove the cap with a twist and pull motion, and connect the male luer lock on the dialysis or replacement line to the female luer receptor on the bag using a push and twist motion. Ensure that the connection is fully seated and tighten. The connector is now open. Verify that the fluid is flowing freely. (See figure IV.a below).

When the dialysis or replacement line is disconnected from the luer connector, the connector will close and the flow of the solution will stop. The luer port is a needle-less and swabbable port.

IV.b If the injection port is used, first remove the snap-off cap. Then introduce the spike through the rubber septum. Verify that the fluid is flowing freely. (See figure IV.b below)

Use only with appropriate extra-renal replacement equipment.

Storage precautions:

Chemical and physical in-use stability of the reconstituted solution has been demonstrated for 24 hours at +22°C. From a chemical point of view, the reconstituted solution shall be used immediately. If not used immediately in-use storage times and conditions prior to use are the responsibility of the user and shall not be longer than 24 hours including the duration of the treatment.

The reconstituted solution is for single use only. Discard any unused solution immediately after use.
