More Information

• Instructions for use:
  - Remove white screw cap and set to side for future use. Attach syringe to luer lock on Chemobloc vial venting spike. With vial in an upright position, insert chemo spike/syringe into vial in a downward motion.
  - Invert vial and begin to slowly withdraw diluent. Bubbles of sterile air can be seen rising in diluent.
  - When syringe is approximately 1/2 full, eject any unwanted air back into diluent vial. Resume withdrawing until desired volume of diluent is in syringe.
  - Invert vial gain, so that vial is in an upright position. Remove the spike/syringe from vial.
  - Place vial, containing powder chemo drug, in an upright position on a flat surface. Insert syringe/spike in a downward motion.
  - Slowly disperse diluent into vial containing drug concentrate, while maintaining a downward motion.
  - Gently rotate vial, with syringe/spike still attached, to properly mix drug. (Refer to drug manufacturers directions for more specific information on mixing individual drugs.)
  - Invert vial again (so that it is now positioned above syringe) and slowly begin to withdraw reconstituted chemo drug.
  - NOTE: Injecting large amounts of air while holding vial above syringe may wet the hydrophobic filter and hamper venting action.
  - Carefully disconnect syringe from spike/vial. Carefully re-attach white screw cap to top inlet of chemo spike.
  - Discard capped Chemobloc vial venting spike into proper hazardous waste container.
  - Follow manufacturers instructions concerning application of chemo drugs.
