Isoplate™ Solution
Platelet Additive Solution [PAS-F]

Initial U.S. Approval: 2013

INDICATIONS AND USAGE

Isoplate™ Solution Platelet Additive Solution [PAS-F] is an isotonic solution to replace a portion of the plasma to store Platelet Pheresis, Leukocytes Reduced PAS products collected using a hyperconcentrated collection on Terumo BCT’s Trima Accel® System. The solution should never be infused directly to the patient. Platelet Pheresis, Leukocytes Reduced Platelet Additive Solution [PAS] products are stored in a mix of 65% Isoplate™ and 35% plasma. Platelets in Isoplate™ Solution can be stored at a concentration range of 700-2100 x 106/mL for up to 5 days at 20-24°C with continuous agitation in the EXCEL® container.(1

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

Isoplate™ Solution Platelet Additive Solution [PAS-F] may only be used with the Trima Accel® automated blood cell separator device. For full instructions on the use of Isoplate™ Solution Platelet Additive Solution [PAS-F] with the Trima Accel® see the Trima Accel® Operator's Manual. (2)

Directions for Connecting the Isoplate Solution Container to the Trima Accel® System

At the prompt to connect the platelet additive solution to the Trima Accel® tubing set:

1. Remove the overwrap by pulling down at notch and remove solution container.

2. Before use, perform the following checks:

  • Check for leaks by squeezing the bag firmly. If leaks are found, discard solution.
  • Ensure the solution is the Isoplate™ Solution Platelet Additive Solution [PAS-F] and is within the expiration date.
  • Inspect the solution for cloudiness, haze, or particulate matter. Suspect container should not be used.

3. Remove the protective cap from the port on the Isoplate™ Solution Platelet Additive Solution [PAS-F] container.

6.1 Clinical Trials Experience

No adverse reactions were reported in subjects infused with a small volume (< 10 mL) of radiolabeled platelets that had been stored for 5 days in 65% Isoplate™ Solution Platelet Additive Solution [PAS-F], but rinsed prior to infusion.

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS

Isoplate™ Solution Platelet Additive Solution [PAS-F] is used as a storage solution for hyperconcentrated platelets and it is not intended for direct intravenous infusion. There are no known drug interactions in its use as a platelet storage solution.

9 DRUG ABUSE AND DEPENDENCE

Isoplate™ Solution Platelet Additive Solution [PAS-F] is used as a storage solution for leukoreduced hyperconcentrated platelets and has no pharmacological effect.

10 OVERDOSAGE

Multiple transfusions of Isoplate™-stored platelets may lead to overdosage of potassium, magnesium and gluconate. Monitor changes in electrolyte concentration and acid-base balance when multiple transfusions of Isoplate™-stored platelets are administered. In the event of overdose, discontinue transfusion immediately and institute appropriate corrective treatment. 

The signs and symptoms of potassium overdose include paresthesias of the extremities, areflexia, muscular or respiratory paralysis, mental confusion, weakness, hypotension, cardiac arrhythmias, heart block, electrocardiographic abnormalities and cardiac arrest. Treatment of hyperkalemia includes the following;

  1. Dextrose Injection, USP 10% or 25%, containing 10 units of crystalline insulin per 20 grams of dextrose administered intravenously, 300 to 500 mL/hour.
  2. Absorption and exchange of potassium using sodium or ammonium cycle cation exchange resin, orally and as retention enema.
  3. Hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. The use of potassium-containing foods or medications must be eliminated. However, in cases of digitalization, too rapid a lowering of plasma potassium concentration can cause digitalis toxicity.

Gluconate overdose may cause metabolic alkalosis. Treatment of metabolic alkalosis may include administration of an acidifying agent such as ammonium chloride.

Signs of magnesium overdose include flushing, sweating, hypotension, depressed reflexes, flaccid paralysis, hypothermia, circulatory collapse, cardiac and CNS depression proceeding to respiratory paralysis. Disappearance of the patellar reflex is a useful clinical sign to detect the onset of magnesium overdose. In the event of overdosage artificial ventilation may be required until a calcium salt can be injected intravenously to antagonize the effects of magnesium.

The container is overwrapped to provide protection from the physical environment and to provide an additional moisture barrier when necessary.

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

12.1 Mechanism of Action

Isoplate™ Solution Platelet Additive Solution [PAS-F] contains the following key components to maintain platelet function:

  • Sodium chloride for osmolarity
  • Acetate to fuel platelet metabolism
  • Gluconate or phosphate for buffering
  • Magnesium and potassium to reduce platelet activation1,2

Isoplate™ Solution Platelet Additive Solution [PAS-F] is used as a storage solution for leukoreduced hyperconcentrated platelets and it is not for direct intravenous infusion. This solution has no pharmacological effect; the solution provides the appropriate components for platelet function while allowing for a lower volume of plasma in the platelet product during storage.

14 CLINICAL STUDIES

In Vivo radiolabeled recovery and survival

A paired study was completed to verify that in vivo radiolabeled recovery and survival of hyperconcentrated leukocyte reduced platelets collected on the Trima Accel® System, diluted in Isoplate™ Solution Platelet Additive Solution [PAS-F], and stored for five days (Test) meet FDA acceptance criteria in comparison with fresh autologous platelets (Control). Table 2 summarizes the in vivo radiolabeled platelet recovery and survival data.

 Table 2 – In Vivo Radiolabeled Platelet Recovery and Survival Data (N = 23)
  Recovery Survival
 Test Control Test/Control Test Control Test/Control

 Min 32.6 40.4 66 4.5 6.4 52
 Max 84.1 82.8 102 8.8 10.0 104

The primary outcomes for this study were:

  Recovery: Test minus 66% Control is equal to or greater than zero with one-sided 97.5% confidence limit
  Survival: Test minus 58% Control is equal to or greater than zero with one-sided 97.5% confidence limit

Both primary outcomes were met for hyperconcentrated leukocyte reduced platelets collected by apheresis and stored in Isoplate™ Solution Platelet Additive Solution [PAS-F].

In Vitro Platelet Quality Study

A paired study was completed to verify that in vitro platelet quality (functional assays) of hyperconcentrated leukocyte reduced platelets collected on the Trima Accel® System, diluted in Isoplate™ Solution Platelet Additive Solution [PAS-F], and stored for five days (Test) meet FDA acceptance criteria in comparison to plasma-stored platelets (Control).
