Precautions and Warnings |
|
- Caution: Federal Law (USA) restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician (or properly licensed practitioner).
- Caution: The user should read and understand the Instructions for Use, Precautions and Warnings, and be trained in the correct procedure before using global® DMSO Blastocyst Vitrification Warming Kit for rehydration of human blastocysts.
- Warning: The long term safety of blastocyst rehydration on children born from this procedure is unknown.
- Warning: The safety and effectiveness of vitrification has not been fully evaluated in human embryos that have not yet reached the blastocyst stage of development.
- Not to be used for injection.
- Do not resterilize.
- Do not use the product if:
• the product packaging appears damaged or if the seal is broken
• the expiry date has been exceeded
• the product becomes discolored, cloudy, or shows evidence of particulate matter
- This product contains human serum albumin, a derivative of human blood. The human serum albumin used in the preparation of this product has been heated at 60°C for ten hours.
Contains: Standard measures to prevent infections resulting from the use of medicinal products prepared from human blood or plasma include selection of donors, screening of individual donations and plasma pools for specific markers of infection and the inclusion of effective manufacturing steps for the inactivation/removal of viruses. Despite this, when medicinal products prepared from human blood or plasma are administered, the possibility of transmitting infective agents cannot be totally excluded. This also applies to unknown or emerging viruses and other pathogens. There are no reports of virus transmissions with albumin manufactured to European Pharmacopoeia specifications by established processes. It is strongly recommended that every time that global® DMSO Blastocyst Vitrification Warming Kit is administered to a patient, the name and batch number of the product are recorded in order to maintain a link between the patient and the batch of the product.
- global® DMSO Blastocyst Vitrification Warming Kit contains the antibiotic gentamicin sulfate. Appropriate precautions should be taken to ensure that the patient is not sensitized to this antibiotic.
- To avoid problems with contamination, practice aseptic techniques.
- Use a legally marketed carrier and storage device appropriate for blastocyst rehydration procedures.
- Use a closed storage system to prevent the potential risk of viral contamination and do not use open storage systems where the sample comes in direct contact with liquid nitrogen.
- The global® DMSO Blastocyst Vitrification Warming Kit is intended for single use only (the rehydration of blastocysts from one patient on one day). For use with human blastocysts that have been vitrified using the global® DMSO Blastocyst Vitrification Kit. Discard any unused product after opening.
