Other Information
UltraTag™ RBC (kit for the preparation of technetium Tc 99m-labeled red blood cells) is a sterile, nonpyrogenic, diagnostic kit for the in vitro preparation of technetium Tc 99m-labeled red blood cells.
Each kit consists of three separate nonradioactive components:
1. A 10 milliliter reaction vial containing:
Stannous Chloride, Dihydrate (SnCl2•2H2O) – 50 ug minimum
Stannous Chloride, Dihydrate (SnCl2•2H2O) – 96 ug theoretical
Tin Chloride (Stannous and Stannic), Dihydrate (as SnCl2•2H2O) – 105 ug maximum
Sodium Citrate, Dihydrate – 3.67 mg
Dextrose, Anhydrous – 5.50 mg
Prior to lyophilization, the pH is adjusted to 7.1 to 7.2 with sodium hydroxide. The contents of the vial are lyophilized and stored under argon.
2. Syringe I contains:
Sodium Hypochlorite – 0.6 mg in Sterile Water for Injection
The total volume of this syringe is 0.6 mL. Sodium hydroxide may have been added for pH adjustment. The pH of this solution is 11 to 13. The syringe must be protected from light to prevent degradation of the light-sensitive sodium hypochlorite.
3. Syringe II contains:
Citric Acid, Monohydrate – 8.7 mg
Sodium Citrate, Dihydrate – 32.5 mg
Dextrose, Anhydrous – 12.0 mg in Sterile Water for Injection
The total volume of this syringe is 1.0 mL. The pH range of this solution is adjusted to 4.5 to 5.5 with sodium citrate or citric acid.

The Instructions for Preparation must be carefully followed for preparing technetium Tc 99m-labeled red blood cells using UltraTag™ RBC.
The suggested dose range of technetium Tc 99m-labeled red blood cells in the average patient (70 kg) is 370 MBq (10 mCi) to 740 MBq (20 mCi).
The patient dose should be measured by a suitable radioactivity calibration system immediately prior to administration.
Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit. Aseptic procedures and a shielded syringe should be employed in preparing and withdrawing doses for administration to patients. The user should wear waterproof gloves during the administration procedure. -
