6.2      Incompatibilities
SmofKabiven Extra Nitrogen Electrolyte Free may only be mixed with other medicinal products for which compatibility has been documented, see section 6.6.

6.3      Shelf life
The expiry date of the product is indicated on the packaging materials.

Shelf life after mixing
Chemical and physical in-use stability of the mixed three chamber bag has been demonstrated for 36 hours at 25°C. From a microbiological point of view the product should be used immediately. If not used immediately, in-use storage times and conditions prior to use are the responsibility of the user and would normally not be longer than 24 hours at 2-8°C

Shelf life after mixing with additives
From a microbiological point of view, the product should be used immediately when additions have been made. If not used immediately, the in-use storage time and conditions prior to use are the responsibility of the user and should normally not be longer than 24 hours at 2-8°C.

6.4      Special precautions for storage
Do not store above 25°C. Do not freeze. Store in overpouch.

Shelf life after mixing: See section 6.3.
Shelf life after mixing with additives: See section 6.3.
6.5      Nature and contents of container
The container consists of a multi chamber inner bag and an overpouch. The inner bag is separated into three chambers by peelable seals. An oxygen absorber is placed between the inner bag and the overpouch. The inner bag is made of a multilayer polymer film, Biofine.

The Biofine inner bag film consists of poly (propylene-co-ethylene), synthetic rubber poly [styrene- block-(butylene-co-ethylene)] (SEBS) and synthetic rubber poly (styrene-block- isoprene) (SIS). The infusion and additive ports are made of polypropylene and synthetic rubber poly [styrene- block-(butylene-co-ethylene)] (SEBS) equipped with synthetic polyisoprene (latex- free) stoppers. The blind port, which is only used during manufacturing, is made of polypropylene equipped with a synthetic polyisoprene (latex-free) stopper.

Pack sizes:
1 x 1012 ml, 4 x 1012 ml
1 x 1518 ml, 4 x 1518 ml
1 x 2025 ml, 4 x 2025 ml

Not all pack sizes may be marketed.
6.6      Special precautions for disposal and other handling
Instructions for use
Do not use if package is damaged. Use only if the amino acid and glucose solutions are clear and colourless or slightly yellow and the lipid emulsion is white and homogenous. The contents of the three separate chambers have to be mixed before use, and before any additions are made via the additive port.

After separation of the peelable seals the bag should be inverted on a number of occasions to ensure a homogenous mixture, which does not show any evidence of phase separation.

Compatibility
Compatibility data are available with the named branded products Dipeptiven, Addaven, Vitalipid N Adult and Soluvit N (lyophilized) in defined amounts and generics of electrolytes in defined concentrations. When making electrolyte additions, the amounts already present in the bag should be taken into account to meet the clinical needs of the patient. Generated data supports additions to the activated bag according to the summary table below:
