ALBUMIN (HUMAN) U. S. R, ALBUTEIN^® 5% solution is a sterile aqueous solution for single dose intravenous administration containing 5 % human albumin (weight/volume). ALBUTEIN^® is prepared by a cold alcohol fractionation method from pooled human plasma obtained from venous blood. The product is stabilized with 0.08 millimole sodium caprylate and 0.08 millimole sodium acetyltryptophanate per gram of albumin. ALBUTEIN^® 5 % solution is osmotically and isotonically equivalent to an equal volume of normal human plasma. ALBUTEIN^® 5 % solution contains 130-160 milliequivalents of sodium ion per liter and has a pH of 6.9 ± 0.5. The product contains no preservatives. ALBUTEIN^® is heated at 60 °C for ten hours. No positive assertion can be made, however, that this heat treatment completely destroys the causative agents of viral hepatitis.
