Coagulation Products

Reconstitution Reference
Binder

Updated: June 2021

June 2021

Dear Healthcare Professional,

The Adult Hereditary Bleeding Disorder Clinic, Pediatric Bleeding Disorder Clinic and Nova Scotia Provincial
Blood Coordinating Team, are pleased to provide an updated online version of the Coagulation Products –
Reconstitution Reference Binder.

Some patients in Nova Scotia self-administer their coagulation factor products at home. However, there are
occasions when patients may present to the emergency department at your hospital requiring product
administration. The purpose of this binder is to provide a resource for nurses and physicians in case they may
be required to reconstitute and administer one of the coagulation factor products.

We suggest the binder be readily available within your emergency department, as well as facilities where
factor products may be administered in the ambulatory clinic / medical day unit. Please use the material
included with this letter to create a new binder, update a current binder, or use in a different format that
suits your clinical needs.

If you have any questions or comments regarding the binder or materials included, please feel free to
contact either coordinator or the factor product utilization assistant below.

Sincerely,

Sue VanOosten, RN Amanda Bettle, NP

NOTE: If you are using more than one vial of product concentrate, the contents of more than one
vial may be drawn into the same syringe. Make sure you mix each vial of product concentrate with the
Sterile Water for Injection, USP that is provided in the box (following the previous outlined steps).
You will need a separate BAXJECT II Hi-Flow device to mix each additional vial of product concentrate.

C • Attach the infusion needle to the syringe using a winged (butterfly) infusion
set, if available. Point the needle up and remove any air bubbles by gently
tapping the syringe with your finger and slowly and carefully pushing air
out of the syringe and needle.
• Apply a tourniquet and get the infusion site ready by wiping the skin well
with an alcohol swab.
• Insert the needle into the vein and remove the tourniquet. Slowly infuse the
mixed product. Do not infuse any faster than 10 mL per minute.
• Take the needle out of the vein and use sterile gauze to put pressure on
the infusion site for several minutes.
• Do not recap the needle.

Place used infusion needle, syringe, vials and BAXJECT II Hi-Flow system in a hard-walled Sharps
container for proper disposal (do not dispose in household trash).

Do not attempt to do an infusion unless you have been taught how by your healthcare provider or hemophilia center.
Always follow the specific instructions given by your healthcare provider. If you are unsure of the procedures,
please call your healthcare provider before using.

 INJECTION/INFUSION

1 Remove the blue cap from BAXJECT II Hi-Flow. Take the syringe and connect
it to BAXJECT II Hi-Flow (DO NOT DRAW AIR INTO THE SYRINGE).

2 Invert the system (with FEIBA vial on top). Draw the FEIBA solution into the
syringe by pulling the plunger back slowly.

3 Disconnect the syringe.

4 Slowly inject the solution intravenously with a winged set for injection.

NOTE:
• Do not exceed an infusion rate of 2 U FEIBA/kg/Body Weight per minute.
• Do not refrigerate after reconstitution!
• After reconstitution, the solution should be inspected for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration. Do not use
solutions that are cloudy or have deposits.
• Mixing of FEIBA with other products or substances must be avoided. It is advisable to flush venous access lines with isotonic saline
prior to and after infusion of FEIBA.
• After complete reconstitution of FEIBA NF its injection or infusion should be commenced as promptly as practicable, but must be
completed within three hours following reconstitution.
• The solution must be given by intravenous injection or intravenous drip infusion and the maximum injection or infusion rate must not
exceed 2 units per kg of body weight per minute. In a patient with a body weight of 75 kg, this corresponds to an infusion rate of 2.5 -
7.5 mL per minute depending on the number of units per vial (see label on vial).

HEMLIBRA: STEPS FOR INJECTION PREPARATION USING THE
TRANSFER NEEDLE WITH FILTER

STEP 1. REMOVE VIAL CAP AND CLEAN TOP

• Take the cap off the vial(s).

PREPARATION
• Clean the top of the vial(s) stopper with an alcohol wipe.

• 
Throw away the vial cap(s) into the sharps
disposal container.

STEP 2. ATTACH TRANSFER NEEDLE WITH FILTER TO SYRINGE

•  ush and twist the transfer needle with filter clockwise
P
onto the syringe until it is fully attached.

• 
Slowly pull back the plunger and draw air into the syringe
that is the same amount for your prescribed dose.

NOTE: Visual Aid only. Always refer to monograph included with product.

STEP 3. UNCAP TRANSFER NEEDLE WITH FILTER
•  the syringe by the barrel with the transfer needle with filter
Hold
pointing up.

• 
Carefully pull the transfer needle with filter cap straight off and
away from your body. Do not throw the cap away. Place the
transfer needle with filter cap down on a clean, flat surface.
You will need to recap the transfer needle with filter after
transferring the medicine.

•  o not touch the needle tip or place it on a surface after the

D
needle cap has been removed.

STEP 4. INJECT AIR INTO VIAL

• 
Keep the vial on the flat working surface and insert the transfer
needle with filter and syringe straight down into the centre of
the vial stopper.
– N
 ote: When inserting the needle, you may need to hold the
vial steady by hand.

• Keep the needle in the vial and turn the vial upside down.

• 
With the needle pointing upwards, push on the plunger
to inject the air from the syringe above the medicine.

• Keep your finger pressed down on the syringe plunger.

•  not inject air into the medicine as this could create

Do
air bubbles in the medicine.

NOTE: Visual Aid only. Always refer to monograph included with product.
Hemlibra: https://www.rochecanada.com/PMs/Hemlibra/Hemlibra_PM_E.pdf

STEP 5. TRANSFER HEMLIBRA TO SYRINGE
• Slide the tip of the needle down so that it is within the medicine.

• Slowly pull back the plunger to fill the syringe with more than the
amount of HEMLIBRA needed for your prescribed dose.

• Be careful not to pull the plunger out of the syringe.

Important: If your prescribed dose is more than the amount of HEMLIBRA in the vial, withdraw all HEMLIBRA
and go to the “Combining Vials” section now.

STEP 6. REMOVE AIR BUBBLES

• 
Keep the needle in the vial and check the syringe for larger air
bubbles. Too large an air bubble can reduce the dose you receive.

• Remove
 the larger air bubbles by gently tapping the syringe
barrel with your fingers until the air bubbles rise to the top of the
syringe. Move the tip of the needle above the medicine and slowly
push the plunger up to push the air bubbles out of the syringe.

•  the amount of HEMLIBRA in the syringe is now at or below

If
your prescribed dose, move the tip of the needle to within the
medicine and slowly pull back the plunger until you have more
than the amount of HEMLIBRA needed for your prescribed dose.

• Be careful not to pull the plunger out of the syringe.

• 
Repeat the steps above until you have removed the larger
air bubbles.

Note: Ensure you have enough HEMLIBRA in the syringe to complete your dose before moving on to the
next step. If you cannot remove all of HEMLIBRA, turn the vial upright to reach the remaining amount.

Do not use the transfer needle with filter to inject HEMLIBRA as this may cause harm,

such as pain and bleeding.

NOTE: Visual Aid only. Always refer to monograph included with product.

STEP F. TRANSFER HEMLIBRA TO SYRINGE
• 
Slide the tip of the needle down so that it is within
the medicine.

• 
Slowly pull back the plunger to fill the syringe barrel more than
the amount of HEMLIBRA needed for your prescribed dose.
