DUPLEX Container Directions for Use

Label and Inspect: Apply patient-specific label on foil side of container. Do not cover any portion of foil strip with patient label. Unlatch side tab and unfold DUPLEX Container. Use only if container and seals are intact. Visually inspect diluent chamber for particulate matter. To inspect the drug powder for foreign matter or discoloration, peel foil strip from drug chamber. Protect from light after removal of foil strip. NOTE: Product does NOT require refrigeration prior to activation. Color changes do not affect potency of drug. Reconstitute: Unfold the DUPLEX Container and point the set port in a downward direction. Starting at the hanger tab end, fold the DUPLEX Container just below the diluent line, trapping all air above the fold. To activate, squeeze the folded diluent chamber until the seal between the diluent and powder opens, releasing diluent into the drug powder chamber. Shake the diluent-powder mixture until the drug powder is completely dissolved. Visually inspect the reconstituted solution for particulate matter. Administer: Point the set port in a downward direction. Starting at the hanger tab end, fold the DUPLEX Container just below the solution line, trapping all air above the fold. Squeeze the folded DUPLEX Container until the seal between the solution and set port opens, releasing solution to set port.
