MIXING

  1. Obtain a clear/clLan space to prepare the XENPOZYME 

    Be sure all the necessary supplies are available to complete infusion from beginning to end.  You will need:

    • IV and IV start kit, alcohol, XENPOZYME, sterile water for injection USP, syringe or empty infusion bag, pump, 0.9% sodium chloride injection, USP,  in-line low protein-binding 0.2-μm filter, bandage, sharps container

  2. Determine number of vials needed based on individual patient's weight and prescribed dose and remove from fridge and set aside for 20 to 30 minutes to reach room temperature

  3. Reconstitute each vial with sterile water for injection, USP, by directing diluent flow to inside wall of vial to avoid foaming and gently tilt and roll vials to avoid foaming once diluent is added

    • 1.1 mL of sterile water for injection, USP, into the 4 mg vial

    • 5.1 mL of sterile water for injection, USP, into the 20 mg vial

  4. Withdraw required volume of reconstituted solution and dilute to final volume with 0.9% sodium chloride injection, USP, in a syringe or infusion bag depending on volume of infusion, based on body weight for adults or pediatric patients

    • For total volume less than or equal to 20 mL prepare a syringe for infusion

    • For a total volume of greater than or equal to 50 mL prepare an infusion bag

  5. Gently invert syringe or infusion bag to mix

    • Do not shake
