Product Details
Precaution
The donor organ must be flushed free of the SPS-1 (UW Solution) prior to the reperfusion. The organ must be flushed with physiological solution to prevent occurrence (in the recipient) of potentially serious cardiovascular complications such as hyperkalemic cardiac arrest or bradyarrhythmia. This is necessary because of the high concentration of potassium in the solution. These precautions must be taken prior to re-implantation (or transplantation) to avoid cardiac arrest in the recipient.
SPS-1 (UW Solution) includes components (allopurinol and pentafraction) which individually have caused hypersensitivity reaction in patients.
