Indocyanine Green and Water

×

Overview

What is ICG?

Indocyanine Green for Injection, USP is a sterile, lyophilized green powder containing 25 mg of indocyanine green with no more than 5% sodium iodide. It is packaged with Sterile Water for Injection, USP used to dissolve the indocyanine green. Indocyanine Green for Injection, USP is to be administered intravenously.

Indocyanine green is a water soluble, tricarbocyanine dye with a peak spectral absorption at 800 nm. The chemical name for Indocyanine Green is 1 -Benz[]indolium, 2-[7-[1,3-dihydro-1,1-dimethyl-3-(4-sulfobutyl)-2-benz[] indol-2-ylidene]-1,3,5-heptatrienyl]-1,1-dimethyl-3-(4-sulfobutyl)-,hydroxide, inner salt, sodium salt. Indocyanine Green for Injection, USP has a pH of approximately 6.5 when reconstituted. Each vial of Indocyanine Green for Injection, USP contains 25 mg of indocyanine green as a sterile lyophilized powder.

What should I talk to my health care provider before I take ICG?

How should I use ICG?

ICG for Injection Set, a tricarbocyanine dye, is indicated for use with the KARL STORZ ICG Imaging System to provide real-time endoscopic visible and near-infrared fluorescence imaging. Indocyanine Green for Injection, USP used in conjunction with the KARL STORZ ICG Imaging System enables surgeons to perform minimally invasive surgery using standard endoscopic visible light as well as:

Preparation of ICG for Administration

Under sterile conditions, reconstitute one (1) 25 mg vial of Indocyanine Green for Injection, USP using one (1) 10 mL Sterile Water for Injection, USP vial located in the ICG for Injection Set. Shake the ICG vial gently to dissolve. After reconstitution, a 25 mg vial of ICG contains 2.5 mg of dye per mL of solution, so a 1.0 mL injection contains a 2.5 mg dose of ICG.

Indocyanine Green for Injection, USP must be used within 6 hours after reconstitution. If a precipitate is present, discard the solution.

Dosage

A 3 mL (7.5 mg) dose followed by a 10 mL bolus of saline is recommended. Multiple doses can be administered as required, up to the maximum recommended dose.

Maximum recommended dose

The total dose of dye injected should be kept below 2 mg/kg.

Timing of ICG Administration

ICG fluorescence is quickly visible within blood vessels, tissue and organs, and it does not last very long (refer to below).

For fluorescence imaging of PERFUSION in blood vessels, administration of the ICG should be performed at the time fluorescence imaging is requested by the physician. Multiple imaging sequences may be performed as necessary [up to the maximum dose (2 mg/kg of patient body weight)], so it is recommended to withdraw the desired dosage of ICG solution for each planned imaging sequence into separate syringes ahead of time.

Method of Administration

ICG administration is to be performed via a central or peripheral venous line. Inject the prepared dose of ICG solution into the central or peripheral line as a tight bolus and immediately followed by a bolus of 10-12 mL of normal saline for injection.

What should I look out for while using ICG?

Indocyanine Green for Injection, USP contains sodium iodide and should be used with caution in patients who have a history of allergy to iodides because of the risk of anaphylaxis.


What might happen if I take too much ICG?

There are no data available describing the signs, symptoms, or laboratory findings accompanying overdosage. The LD after intravenous administration ranges between 60 and 80 mg/kg in mice, 50 and 70 mg/kg in rats and 50 and 80 mg/kg in rabbits.


How should I store and handle ICG?

Store at 20° to 25° C (68° to 77° F) [See USP Controlled Room Temperature].Dispense in a tight, light-resistant container as defined in the USP using a child-resistant closure.

Clinical Information

Clinical Pharmacology

Following intravenous injection, Indocyanine Green for Injection, USP is rapidly bound to plasma protein, of which albumin is the principle carrier (95%). Indocyanine Green for Injection, USP undergoes no significant extrahepatic or enterohepatic circulation; simultaneous arterial and venous blood estimations have shown negligible renal, peripheral, lung or cerebro-spinal uptake of the dye. Indocyanine Green for Injection, USP is taken up from the plasma almost exclusively by the hepatic parenchymal cells and is secreted entirely into the bile.

The peak absorption and emission of Indocyanine Green for Injection, USP lie in a region (800 to 850 nm) where transmission of energy by the pigment epithelium is more efficient than in the region of visible light energy. Indocyanine Green for Injection, USP also has the property of being nearly 98% bound to blood protein.

Non-Clinical Toxicology
Indocyanine Green for Injection, USP contains sodium iodide and should be used with caution in patients who have a history of allergy to iodides because of the risk of anaphylaxis.

Although the exact mechanism of this drug interaction is unknown, methylene blue inhibits the action of monoamine oxidase A – an enzyme responsible for breaking down serotonin in the brain. It is believed that when methylene blue is given to patients taking serotonergic psychiatric medications, high levels of serotonin can build up in the brain, causing toxicity. This is referred to as Serotonin Syndrome. Signs and symptoms of Serotonin Syndrome include mental changes (confusion, hyperactivity, memory problems), muscle twitching, excessive sweating, shivering or shaking, diarrhea, and trouble with coordination and/or fever.

Deaths from anaphylaxis have been reported following Indocyanine Green for Injection, USP administration during cardiac catheterization.

Anaphylactic or urticarial reactions have been reported in patients with or without history of allergy to iodides. If such reactions occur, treat with the appropriate agents, e.g., epinephrine, antihistamines, and corticosteroids.
