Bavencio Caution For Usage

Incompatibilities: This medicinal product must not be mixed with other medicinal products except those mentioned in Special precautions for disposal and other handling as follows.
Special precautions for disposal and other handling: Bavencio is compatible with polyethylene, polypropylene, and ethylene vinyl acetate infusion bags, glass bottles, polyvinyl chloride infusion sets and in-line filters with polyethersulfone membranes with pore sizes of 0.2 micrometre.
Handling instructions: An aseptic technique for the preparation of the solution for infusion should be used.
The vial should be visually inspected for particulate matter and discoloration. Bavencio is a clear, colourless to slightly yellow solution. If the solution is cloudy, discoloured, or contains particulate matters, the vial should be discarded.
An infusion bag of appropriate size (preferably 250 mL) containing either sodium chloride 9 mg/mL (0.9%) solution for injection or with sodium chloride 4.5 mg/mL (0.45%) solution for injection should be used. The required volume of Bavencio should be withdrawn from the vial(s) and transferred to the infusion bag. Any partially used or empty vials have to be discarded.
The diluted solution should be mixed by gently inverting the bag in order to avoid foaming or excessive shearing of the solution.
The solution should be inspected to ensure it is clear, colourless, and free of visible particles. The diluted solution should be used immediately once prepared.
Do not co-administer other medicinal products through the same intravenous line. Administer the solution for infusion using a sterile, non-pyrogenic, low-protein binding 0.2 micrometre in-line or add-on filter as described in Dosage & Administration.
After administration of Bavencio, the line should be flushed with either sodium chloride 9 mg/mL (0.9%) solution for injection or with sodium chloride 4.5 mg/mL (0.45%) solution for injection.
Do not freeze or shake the diluted solution. If refrigerated, allow the diluted solution in the intravenous bags to come to room temperature prior to use.
Disposal: Any unused medicinal product or waste material should be disposed of in accordance with local requirements.
