HI Big Brains
I know this is a bit off topic, but can anyone please help me on this? It
is driving us nuts here.1. Where can one see the DATA on WHY we use low sorbing infusion tubing for
cyclosporin infusion? (I know the theory, just would like to see the proof
:o)) How does absorption vary with dose, rate, time etc?2. We want to extend use of this tubing for a week instead of 4 days (This
would bring it in line with the other infusions).A colleague believes that the low sorbing tubing would no longer work after
X number of days (in this case 4), and therefore if we extend it, the
tubing may no longer present absorption.Yes we have asked the Drug Information Dept and they could not provide any
data on this.Thinking of running some tests ourselves with a friendly biochemist if we
can’t get a better answer!Best regards, Claire

Hi Prof
Apologies, I don’t have a big brain. I believe it is more on the IFU (instructions for use). The device limitations/functionality are not stipulated but clearly exceeding recommended usage would be a legal liability when things go wrong. As we all know, tests were done ( in vitro) in company labs, as a requisite to TGA or FDA approval, the irony that continues to be a challenge to the clinical setting (as they are never tested in real working environment). With all due respect, it is sensible to follow device manufacturer’s IFU, the information being available to end user, covers their part of liability. The important aspect of it is obviously patient safety, for a few dollars more.
Always happy to know the results of your tests if it proves the manufacturer’s claim or otherwise.
Cheers
