This medicinal product is for diagnostic use only.Luminity is an ultrasound contrast-enhancing agent for use in patients in whom non-contrast echocardiography was suboptimal (suboptimal is considered to indicate that at least two of six segments in the 4- or 2-chamber view of the ventricular border were not evaluable) and who have suspected or established coronary artery disease, to provide opacification of cardiac chambers and improvement of left ventricular endocardial border delineation at both rest and stress.

WHAT LUMINITY IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Luminity is an ultrasound contrast agent that contains microspheres
(tiny bubbles) of perflutren gas as
the active substance.
Luminity is for diagnostic use only. It is a contrast agent (a
medicine that helps to make internal body
structures visible during imaging tests).
Luminity is used in adults to obtain a clearer scan of the chambers of
the heart, especially of the left
ventricle, during echocardiography (a diagnostic test where an image
of the heart is obtained using
ultrasound). Luminity is used in patients with suspected or confirmed
coronary artery disease
(obstruction of the blood vessels supplying the heart muscle), when
the image obtained with non-
contrast echocardiography is not optimal.

(listed in section 6).
If you have had an allergic reaction in the past with Luminity or any
other ultrasound contrast agent
tell your doctor.
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
This medicinal product is for diagnostic use only.
Luminity is an ultrasound contrast-enhancing agent for use in adult
patients in whom non-contrast
echocardiography was suboptimal (suboptimal is considered to indicate
that at least two of six
segments in the 4- or 2-chamber view of the ventricular border were
not evaluable) and who have
suspected or established coronary artery disease, to provide
opacification of cardiac chambers and
improvement of left ventricular endocardial border delineation at both
rest and stress.
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Luminity should only be administered by trained physicians with
technical expertise in performing
and interpreting contrast echocardiograms, and appropriate
resuscitation equipment should be
available in case of cardiopulmonary or hypersensitivity reactions
(see section 4.4).
Posology
_ _
_Bolus intravenous injection using non-linear contrast imaging
technique at rest and stress: _
_ _
The recommended dose is multiple injections of 0.1 to 0.4 ml of
dispersion, followed by a 3 to 5 ml
bolus of sodium chloride 9 mg/ml (0.9%) or glucose 50 mg/ml (5%)
solution for injection to maintain
optimal contrast enhancement. The total dose of perflutren should not
exceed 1.6 ml.
