🎯 Indications and Usage ▾
1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE Use only with Trima Accel red blood cell (RBC) apheresis collections. [See Dosage and Administration (2) .] Use only with Trima Accel red blood cell (RBC) apheresis collections. ( 1 )
⏱️ Dosage and Administration ▾
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION AS-3 is added to tubing sets after apheresis collections, after the donor has been disconnected. ( 2 ) AS-3 may only be used with the Trima Accel apheresis device. For instructions on the use of the solution see the device operator's manual. ( 2.1 ) Follow the directions for connecting the AS-3 bag to the tubing set of a blood collection system. ( 2.2 )
2.1General Dosing Information ADDITIVE SOLUTION FORMULA 3 (AS-3) is connected to the tubing set used for an apheresis RBC collection procedure after the collection has been completed. For automated RBC procedures, the recommended dose is determined by the apheresis device and metered into the tubing set by the apheresis device. To add the product manually, refer to the apheresis system operator's manual to determine the recommended dose.
For instructions on the use of the solution with the apheresis device and tubing set, see the device operator's manual.
2.2Administration Directions for connecting the ADDITIVE SOLUTION FORMULA 3 (AS-3) bag to the apheresis device. Automated RBC additive solution procedures: Connect ADDITIVE SOLUTION FORMULA 3 (AS-3) after the collection is over and the donor is disconnected.

🤒 Adverse Reactions ▾
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS Citrate reactions or toxicity may occur with the infusion of blood products to patients. 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. Citrate reactions or toxicity may occur with the infusion of blood containing citrate. The recipient of the blood containing citrate should be monitored for the signs and symptoms of citrate toxicity.

📋 Description ▾
11 DESCRIPTION ADDITIVE SOLUTION FORMULA 3 (AS-3) is designed to be added to packed RBC collected in apheresis procedures, and acts to preserve and extend the shelf life of packed RBC products for later transfusion to patients. The solution is intended to be metered by an apheresis device during apheresis procedures or added manually after a collection. Additive Solution Formula 3 (AS-3) is a clear solution that is steam-sterilized and non-pyrogenic.
It does not contain bacteriostatic or antimicrobial agents. The formulas of the active ingredients are provided in Table 1.

ADDITIVE SOLUTION FORMULA 3 is available in three volumes: 100 mL, 200 mL and 350 mL. The 100 mL bags are individually wrapped with a clear plastic film.
Six individually wrapped bags are then vacuum-sealed in a foil pouch, which serves as a vapor barrier to prevent water loss during storage. After you remove the individual solution bags from the foil pouch, you can either leave them in the clear plastic film or remove and discard it. Once the foil pouch has been opened, use all six of the solution bags within 2 weeks.
The 200 mL and 350 mL bags are individually wrapped with a clear plastic film. These larger volumes do not require the additional vapor barrier. Once the clear plastic film has been removed, use the solution within 2 weeks.
The Polyolefin bag is not made with natural rubber latex. 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 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.
