Siax Caution For Usage

Dilution technique: Prior to injection, reconstitute freeze-dried Siax with sterile normal saline without a preservative. 0.9% Sodium chloride Injection is the recommended diluent. Draw up the proper amount of diluent in the appropriate size syringe. The diluent should be injected gently into the vial. Discard the vial if a vacuum does not pull the diluent into the vial. Gently mix Siax with the saline by rotating the vial. Siax should be administered within 24 hours after reconstitution. During this time period, reconstituted Siax should be stored in a refrigerator (2 - 8°C). Reconstituted Siax should be clear, colorless and free of particulate matter. Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration.
Because the drug and diluent do not contain any preservative, one vial of Siax should be used for a single patient.
Dilution Table: See Table 2.
