                Pregnancy Category: C

                Lactation: Not known if excreted in breast milk; use caution

                Pregnancy Categories

                A: Generally acceptable. Controlled studies in pregnant women show no evidence of fetal risk.

                B: May be acceptable. Either animal studies show no risk but human studies not available or animal studies showed minor risks and human studies done and showed no risk.

                C: Use with caution if benefits outweigh risks. Animal studies show risk and human studies not available or neither animal nor human studies done.

                D: Use in LIFE-THREATENING emergencies when no safer drug available. Positive evidence of human fetal risk.

                X: Do not use in pregnancy. Risks involved outweigh potential benefits. Safer alternatives exist.

                Mechanism of Action

                Factor IX is a vitamin K-dependent coagulation factor sythesized in the liver; purified FActor IX from human plasma temporarily replace missing clotting factor IX to correct and/or prevent bleeding

                Administration

                IV Incompatibilities

                Incompatible with protein precipitants

                IV Preparation

                Prior to reconstitution, warm supplied diluent (SWI) to room temp; temperature of diluent should not exceed 37°C

                Reconstitute aseptically according to the mfr's directions

                Gently agitate vial until the powder is completely dissolved

                Completely dissolve before administration to prevent active components from being removed during passage through the filter needle

                IV Administration

                Slow IV injection using a syringe or by IV infusion

                Rate of administration should be individualized according to the specific product used and patient's response

                Administer within 3 hr of reconstitution

                If headache, flushing, or changes in pulse rate or blood pressure occur during administration of factor IX complex (human), decrease administration rate

                Administer 100 IU/mL soln at ~2 mL/min; has been administered up to 225 IU/min without unusual AEs

                Filter before administration

                Storage

                Store at 2-8°C
