Sterilization Compatibility EtO or Gamma (25 kGy) Priming instructions
For an easy priming procedure, start with a dry Epi-Max in a vertical position with the flow arrow pointed up, i.e. invert to prime. The liquid will push the air through the filter before flow begins. After priming is complete (all air is evacuated from the housing), Epi-Max can stay any position.
Drug Compatibility
Epi-Max shows total compatibility with following drugs: 5-Flourouracil
Amphotericin B Bupivacaine HCL Dobutamine HCL Dopamine HCL Insulin
Lidocaine HCL Nitroglycerin Paclitaxel Piperacillin Sodium Citrate
