1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE
ANTICOAGULANT CITRATE DEXTROSE SOLUTION USP (ACD) SOLUTION A is an anticoagulant for blood collection for use only with apheresis devices. [See Dosage and Administration (2).]
-
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
2.1 General Dosing Information
ANTICOAGULANT CITRATE DEXTROSE SOLUTION USP (ACD) SOLUTION A is added to tubing sets during apheresis procedures. The solution is connected to the tubing set in an apheresis collection. The recommended dose is determined by the apheresis device and metered into the tubing set by the apheresis device. It is not intended for direct intravenous infusion.
For instructions on the use of the solution with the apheresis device and tubing set, see the device operator's manual.
2.2 Administration
- Ensure solution is the ANTICOAGULANT CITRATE DEXTROSE SOLUTION USP (ACD) SOLUTION A and is within the expiration date.
- Inspect the bag. Do not use if the container is damaged, leaking or if there is any visible sign of deterioration.
- Use only if solution is clear and free of particulate matter.
- Protect from sharp objects.
Directions for Connecting the ANTICOAGULANT CITRATE DEXTROSE SOLUTION USP (ACD) SOLUTION A bag to the apheresis device.
At the prompt to connect anticoagulant to the apheresis device tubing set:
- Remove the overwrap by pulling down at notch, and remove the ANTICOAGULANT CITRATE DEXTROSE SOLUTION USP (ACD) SOLUTION A bag.
- Before use, perform the following checks [See Warnings and Precautions (5).]:
- Check for leaks by gently squeezing the bag. If leaks are found, discard the bag.
- Ensure that the solution is the ANTICOAGULANT CITRATE DEXTROSE SOLUTION USP (ACD) SOLUTION A and is within the expiration date.
- Inspect the solution in adequate light. Bags showing cloudiness, haze, or particulate matter should not be used.
- Remove the protective cap from the port on the bag.
- Connect the bag to the apheresis device tubing set using aseptic technique and hang the solution.
- Break the frangible connector. When you break frangible connectors, bend them in both directions to ensure that you break them completely. Failure to do so may result in restricted flow.
- Proceed according to the apheresis device operator's manual.
Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit.

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
- Verify that the ANTICOAGULANT CITRATE DEXTROSE SOLUTION USP (ACD) SOLUTION A has been securely attached to the Anticoagulant (AC) line on the system tubing set. Use aseptic technique throughout all procedures to ensure donor safety and quality.
- Do not reuse. Discard unused or partially used solution bags.

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS
Citrate reactions or toxicity may occur with the infusion and return of blood containing citrate anticoagulant. The recipient of the blood containing citrate should be monitored for the signs and symptoms of citrate toxicity. The signs and symptoms of citrate toxicity begin with paresthesia, a "tingling" sensation around the mouth or in the extremities, followed by severe reactions that are characterized by hypotension and possible cardiac arrhythmia. Citrate toxicity may occur more frequently in patients who are hypothermic, have impaired liver or renal function, or have low calcium levels because of an underlying disease.

11 DESCRIPTION
ANTICOAGULANT CITRATE DEXTROSE SOLUTION USP (ACD) SOLUTION A is designed to be metered by an apheresis device in apheresis procedures, to prevent platelet activation and coagulation as blood moves throughout the extracorporeal unit (tubing set) in an apheresis procedure.
The solution is sterile and non-pyrogenic, and it contains no bacteriostatic or antimicrobial agents.
The formulas of the active ingredients are provided in Table 1.
Table 1: Active Ingredients Ingredients Molecular Formula Molecular Weight (%w/v) Citric Acid, Monohydrate C6H8O7 192.12 Dextrose Monohydrate C6H12O6 ∙ H2O 198.17 Sodium Citrate Dihydrate C6H9Na3O9 294.10 Water for Injection H2O 18.00 Each 100 mL of ANTICOAGULANT CITRATE DEXTROSE SOLUTION USP (ACD) SOLUTION A contains: (%w/v) Citric Acid, Monohydrate 0.8 g; Dextrose Monohydrate 2.45 g; Sodium Citrate Dihydrate 2.2 g; and Water for Injection.
The polyolefin bag is not made with natural rubber latex or PVC.
The bag is made from a multilayered film. It contains materials that have been tested to demonstrate the suitability of the container for storing pharmaceutical solutions. The solution contact layer is an elasticized polyolefin. The bag is nontoxic and biologically inert. The bag-solution unit is a closed system and is not dependent upon entry of external air during administration. The bag 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
ANTICOAGULANT CITRATE DEXTROSE SOLUTION USP (ACD) SOLUTION A acts as an extracorporeal anticoagulant by binding the free calcium in the blood. Calcium is a necessary co-factor to several steps in the clotting cascade. The following ingredients are key components of the solution:
- Citric acid for pH regulation
- Sodium Citrate anticoagulates
- Dextrose for isotonicity
This solution has no pharmacological effect.
-
16 HOW SUPPLIED/STORAGE AND HANDLING
