2.2 Preparation and Administration

Each ampule of Triferic AVNU is intended for single-use only.

Use aseptic technique to prepare Triferic AVNU as follows:

  • Holding the top of the ampule, shake with one single downward movement in order to remove the solution remaining in the cap.
  • To open, twist the ampule body and the ampule head in opposite directions until the neck breaks off the top.
  • Attach a 10 mL or 20 mL luer-lock syringe to the ampule and withdraw the contents (6.75 mg in 4.5 mL).
