In the converted images, the accuracy of wall motion (i.e., normal versus abnormal) improved in 42 to 71% of the patients, depending on the reader, however, improvement in the specific diagnostic accuracy (e.g., hypokinetic, akinetic etc.) The total lung clearance of OFP was similar to that in healthy subjects. The mean change in border length from baseline at end-diastole was statistically significant for all readers in the apical 4-chamber view and for 3 out of 4 readers for the apical 2-chamber view. Events, DEFINITY RT is not recommended for use at mechanical indices greater than 0.8 [see Dosage and Administration (2)]. Left ventricular chamber enhancement after an activated Definity dose of 10 microL/kg was significantly increased from baseline compared to placebo in both views at the mid-ventricular and apical levels at end-diastole. However, the size distributions of Definity at 25 C and 37 C were similar. The safety of activated Definity with the use of end-systolic triggering has not been evaluated. High ultrasound mechanical index values may cause microsphere cavitation or rupture and lead to ventricular arrhythmias. Other adverse reactions that occurred in 0.5% of the activated Definity-dosed subjects were: Body as a Whole: Fatigue, fever, hot flushes, pain, rigors, and syncope, Cardiovascular: Abnormal ECGs, bradycardia, tachycardia, palpitation, hypertension and hypotension, Digestive: Dyspepsia, dry mouth, tongue disorder, toothache, abdominal pain, diarrhea and vomiting, Hematology: Granulocytosis, leukocytosis, leukopenia, and eosinophilia, Nervous System: Leg cramps, hypertonia, vertigo and paresthesia, Platelet, Bleeding, and Clotting: Hematoma, Respiratory: Coughing, hypoxia, pharyngitis, rhinitis and dyspnea, Special Senses: Decreased hearing, conjunctivitis, abnormal vision and taste perversion, Skin: Pruritus, rash, erythematous rash, urticaria, increased sweating, and dry skin. The mean age was 56.1 years (range 18 to 93). Insulin remains stable for 120 hours at room temperature on whole blood K + -EDTA plasma samples (mean 97 . No adverse developmental outcomes were observed in animal reproduction studies with administration of activated DEFINITY in pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis at doses up to 8 and 16 times, respectively, the maximum human dose based on body surface area (see Data). Evidence of genotoxicity was not found in the following studies with activated DEFINITY: 1) bacterial mutagenesis assay (Ames assay), 2) in vitro mammalian mutagenesis assay, 3) in vitro human lymphocyte chromosome aberration assay, and 4) in vivo rat micronucleus assay. The RFID tag allows for the exchange of product information such as activation time and activation rate. In an open administration, crossover trial, 64 patients were randomized to receive both bolus (10 microL/kg) and infusion (1.3 mL activated DEFINITY in 50 mL 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP at the rate of 4 mL/min) dosing of activated DEFINITY.

DEFINITY was administered intravenously to rabbits at doses of 0.1, 0.3, and 1.0 mL/kg (approximately, 1.6, 4.8, and 16 times the recommended maximum human dose based on body surface area); DEFINITY doses were administered daily from day 7 to day 19 of gestation. The phospholipid components of the microspheres are thought to be metabolized to free fatty acids. In this group, 1063 (61.9%) were male and 653 (38.1%) were female, 1328 (77.4%) were White, 258 (15.0%) were Black, 74 (4.3%) were Hispanic, and 56 (3.3%) were classified as other racial or ethnic groups. Additionally, end-systolic triggering with high mechanical indices has been reported to cause ventricular arrhythmias. If the product is not used within 5 minutes of VIALMIX activation, the microspheres should be resuspended by 10 seconds of hand agitation by inverting the vial before the product is withdrawn in a syringe. Allow the vial to warm to room temperature before starting the activation procedure. Insert the 13mm ViaLok (Vented Vial Access Device) into the center of the rubber stopper and push down until properly engaged and locked onto the vial. However, because product labeling was insufficient regarding room-temperature stability and pharmacists were not routinely able to predict stability based on the . It is essential to follow directions for activation of Definity carefully and to adhere to strict aseptic procedures during preparation. The maximum dose is either two bolus doses or one single intravenous infusion. Store the activated Definity at room temperature in the original product vial. In postmarketing use, rare but serious cardiopulmonary or hypersensitivity reactions have been reported during or shortly following perflutren and PEG-containing microsphere administration [see Adverse Reactions (6)]. Serious cardiopulmonary reactions, including fatalities, have occurred during or following perflutren-containing microsphere administration. Most serious reactions occur within 30 minutes of administration. Activated Definity was evaluated in four controlled clinical trials: Two open-label baseline controlled, unpaired blinded image evaluation studies and two identical placebo-controlled, unpaired blinded image evaluation studies. Available data from case reports with DEFINITY use in pregnant women have not identified a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Do not administer DEFINITY RT to patients with known or suspected: Serious cardiopulmonary reactions including fatalities have occurred uncommonly during or shortly following perflutren-containing microsphere administration, typically within 30 minutes of administration. 13mm ViaLok (packaged separately) must be used in the dilution process of Definity RT. Outcome measures for this study included clinically useful ventricular cavity enhancement and endocardial border length. Obtain an appropriate size syringe containing 1.4mL preservative-free 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP (see Dosing and Administration below for specific syringe size and dilution instructions). This study did not assess the effect of Definity on visualization of cardiac or pulmonary structures. Among the 1716 activated Definity patients, 19 (1.1%) suffered serious cardiopulmonary adverse events including eight deaths. Pairs of serum and plasma samples from the cooled and room temperature sets of samples were centrifuged and measured at 3, 6, 12, 24 and 36h. DEFINITY RT is a modified formulation of DEFINITY that allows both storage and shipment at room temperature (DEFINITY's previously approved formulation requires refrigerated storage). DEFINITY RT [package insert]. The overall incidence of adverse reactions was similar between males and females. In an open administration, crossover trial, 64 patients were randomized to receive both bolus (10 microL/kg) and infusion (1.3 mL activated Definity in 50 mL saline at the rate of 4 mL/min) dosing of activated Definity. Octafluoropropane is chemically characterized as 1,1,1,2,2,3,3,3-octafluoropropane. Always have cardiopulmonary resuscitation personnel and equipment readily available prior to DEFINITY RT administration and monitor all patients for hypersensitivity reactions. Do not administer DEFINITY and DEFINITY RT to patients with known or suspected hypersensitivity to perflutren lipid microsphere or its components, such as polyethyleneglycol(PEG). If not used within 5 minutes the microspheres should be resuspended by rapidly swirling the upright vial for 10 seconds before the product is withdrawn in a syringe. After baseline non-contrast echocardiography is completed, set the mechanical index for the ultrasound device at 0.8 or below [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)].
