Approved by TGA September 1996 L3.0 DIDA RADPHARM KIT FOR THE PREPARATION OF TECHNETIUM [ 99M TC] ETIFENIN INJECTION FOR HEPATOBILIARY IMAGING PRODUCT HEPATO 1986/1 AUST R 14329 RADPHARM SCIENTIFIC PO BOX 223 KIPPAX ACT 2615 AUSTRALIA TELEPHONE 61 6 251 6533 FACSIMILE 61 6 253 3325 RADPHARM SCIENTIFIC DIDA RADPHARM KIT FOR THE PREPARATION OF TECHNETIUM [ 99M TC] ETIFENIN INJECTION FOR HEPATOBILIARY IMAGING PRODUCT DATA AUST R 14329 DESCRIPTION This Kit consists of sterile, pyrogen free lypohilised ingredients which need reconstitution with sodium pertechnetate [ 99m Tc] injection to produce a technetium [ 99m Tc] etifenin complex suitable for hepatobiliary imaging. The precise structure of the technetium [ 99m Tc] etifenin complex is not known at this time. Technetium [ 99m Tc] etifenin is a diagnostic pharmaceutical administered by intravenous injection. CONTENTS AND PRESENTATION DIDA Radpharm is supplied as a carton of 5 sterile, pyrogen free, vacuum sealed multidose 5mL vials. Each vial contains 20mg etifenin (N[2,6-diethylacetanilide]iminodiacetic acid) and 0.42 mg tin(II) chloride anhydrous as a lyophilised powder. This product contains no preservatives. PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF TECHNETIUM-99M Technetium-99m with a physical half life of 6 hours decays by isomeric transition to technetium-99. Photons associated with this transition that are useful for detection and imaging studies are listed in Table 1. Table 1. Principal Emission Data.
