The Lower Chamber Contains 500 mL of 50% Dextrose Injection, USP
DESCRIPTION
Upper Chamber: Contains 500 mL of Aminosyn II 10% (an amino acid injection)
— a sterile, nonpyrogenic solution for intravenous infusion. The formulation
is described in the table below.
Lower Chamber: Contains 500 mL of 50% Dextrose Injection, USP — a sterile,
nonpyrogenic, hypertonic solution of Dextrose, USP in water for injection. The
table below indicates the characteristics of this concentrated solution.
The container must be used only after removing the clamp and thoroughly mixing
the contents of the two chambers. The solution resulting from mixing the contents
of the upper and lower chamber contains 5% amino acids in 25% dextrose. Mixing
the contents of the upper and lower chambers yields a concentrated source of
amino acids and carbohydrate calories for intravenous infusion. Headspace contains
Nitrogen gas. The composition of this admixture is described in the table below.
