The thrombin in Thrombin, Topical (Bovine Origin) THROMBIN-JMI® is a protein substance produced through a conversion reaction in which prothrombin of bovine origin is activated by tissue thromboplastin of bovine origin in the presence of calcium chloride. It is supplied as a sterile powder that has been freeze-dried in the final container. Also contained in the preparation are mannitol and sodium chloride. Mannitol is included to make the dried product friable and more readily soluble. The material contains no preservative.

THROMBIN-JMI® has been chromatographically purified and further processed by ultrafiltration. Analytical studies demonstrate the current manufacturing process' capability to remove significant amounts of extraneous proteins, and result in a reduction of Factor Va light chain content to levels below the limit of detection of semi-quantitative Western Blot assay ( < 92 ng/mL, when reconstituted as directed). The clinical significance of these findings is unknown.

THROMBIN-JMI® is indicated as an aid to hemostasis whenever oozing blood and minor bleeding from capillaries and small venules is accessible.

In various types of surgery, solutions of THROMBIN-JMI® may be used in conjunction with an Absorbable Gelatin Sponge, USP for hemostasis.

Solutions of Thrombin, Topical (Bovine Origin), USP, THROMBIN-JMI® may be reconstituted with sterile isotonic saline at a recommended concentration of 1,000 to 2,000 International Units/mL. Where bleeding is profuse, as from abraided surfaces of liver or spleen, concentrations of 1,000 International Units per mL may be required.

For general use in plastic surgery, dental extractions, skin grafting, etc. solutions containing approximately 100 International Units/mL are frequently used. Intermediate strengths to suit the needs of the case may be prepared by diluting the contents of the THROMBIN-JMI® container with an appropriate volume of sterile isotonic saline.

In many situations, it may be advantageous to use THROMBIN-JMI® in a dry form on oozing surfaces. THROMBIN-JMI® may also be used with FloSeal™ NT according to the directions for use in the FloSeal™ NT package insert.

In instances where a concentration of approximately 1,000 units/mL is desired, the contents of the vial of sterile isotonic saline diluent may be transferred into the THROMBIN-JMI® container with a sterile syringe or sterile transfer device. If the transfer device is used for reconstitution, transfer the diluent in the following manner.

1. Remove the plastic cap off of the diluent vial.
2. Remove the tyvek cover from the transfer device container. Do not remove the device from the package.
3. Seat the blue end of the device on the diluent vial, pushing down until the spike penetrates the diaphragm and the device snaps in place.
4. Flip the plastic cover off on the THROMBIN-JMI® container. DO NOT REMOVE THE ALUMINUM SEAL.
5. Remove the plastic package from the transfer device, taking care to not touch the exposed end of the device.
6. Invert the vial of diluent and insert the clear end of the transfer device into the diaphragm of the THROMBIN-JMI® container.

5. When the THROMBIN-JMI® powder is completely dissolved, draw the THROMBIN-JMI® Thrombin solution into the syringe.
6. Remove the syringe from the transfer device by turning syringe counter clockwise.
7. Affix the nasal drug delivery device on to the syringe by pushing the device down onto the THROMBIN-JMI® thrombin solution filled syringe and turn clockwise until the nasal drug delivery device locks in place.
8. Insert the nasal drug delivery device into the naris and spray the Thrombin-JMI® thrombin solution onto the nasal mucosa through the nasal drug delivery device by depressing the syringe plunger using mild or moderate pressure on the syringe plunger. If feasible, the bleeding site on the patient's nasal mucosa may be placed in a dependent position during administration of Thrombin-JMI®.
9. After administration of Thrombin-JMI®, the device may be removed immediately or briefly held in the nasal passage.
10. Discard the unused contents, nasal drug delivery device, and the syringe.

CAUTION: Solutions should be used promptly upon removal from the container. However, the solution may be refrigerated at 2°–8°C for up to 24 hours, or may be stored at room temperature for up to 8 hours after reconstitution.

The following techniques are suggested for the topical application of THROMBIN-JMI®.

1. The recipient surface should be sponged (not wiped) free of blood before THROMBIN-JMI® is applied.
2. A spray may be used or the surface may be flooded using a sterile syringe and small gauge needle. The most effective hemostasis results occur when the THROMBIN-JMI® mixes freely with the blood as soon as it reaches the surface.
3. Sponging of the treated surfaces should be avoided to assure that the clot remains securely in place.

THROMBIN-JMI® may be used in conjunction with Absorbable Gelatin Sponge, USP as follows:

1. Prepare THROMBIN-JMI® solution to desired strength.
2. Immerse sponge strips of the desired size in THROMBIN-JMI® solution. Knead the sponge strips vigorously with moistened, gloved fingers to remove trapped air, thereby facilitating saturation of the sponge.
3. Apply saturated sponge to bleeding area. Hold in place with a pledget of cotton or a small gauze sponge until hemostasis occurs.

Allergic reactions may be encountered in persons known to be sensitive to bovine materials. Inhibitory antibodies which interfere with hemostasis may develop in a small percentage of patients. See WARNINGS.

No information provided.

Because of its action in the clotting mechanism, THROMBIN-JMI® must not be injected or otherwise allowed to enter large blood vessels. Extensive intravascular clotting and even death may result.

General

Consult the Absorbable Gelatin Sponge, USP labeling for complete information for use prior to utilizing the thrombin saturated sponge procedure.

Pregnancy

Category C — Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with THROMBIN-JMI®. It is also not known whether THROMBIN-JMI® can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity. THROMBIN-JMI® should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly indicated.

Pediatric Use

Safety and effectiveness in children have not been established.

No information provided.

THROMBIN-JMI® is contraindicated in persons known to be sensitive to any of its components and/or to material of bovine origin.

THROMBIN-JMI® requires no intermediate physiological agent for its action. It clots the fibrinogen of the blood directly. Failure to clot blood occurs in the rare case where the primary clotting defect is the absence of fibrinogen itself. The speed with which thrombin clots blood is dependent upon the concentration of both thrombin and fibrinogen.
