Adults: 1 to 6 grams per 24-hour period.
NOTE: For doses smaller than 1 gram use the conventional vial. Insert for conventional vial lists dosages for infants and children.
Directions for useOxacillin for Injection Vials in the ADD-Vantage® Drug Delivery System are for intravenous use only and are to be used with ADDVantage® diluent containers of 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP, 50 mL and 100 mL, or 5% Dextrose Injection, USP, 50 mL and 100 mL.
Reconstitute ADD-Vantage® vials as directed in the INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE section.
Only 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP, and 5% Dextrose Injection, USP, are available for use in the ADD-Vantage® Delivery System for intravenous infusion of Oxacillin Sodium. The concentration of the antibiotic should fall within the range specified. The drug concentration and the rate and volume of the infusion should be adjusted so that the total dose of oxacillin is administered before the drug loses its stability in the solution in use.
If another agent is used in conjunction with oxacillin therapy, it should not be physically mixed with oxacillin but should be administered separately.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USETo Open Diluent Container:
Peel overwrap from the corner and remove container. Some opacity of the plastic due to moisture absorption during the sterilization process may be observed. This is normal and does not affect the solution quality or safety. The opacity will diminish gradually.
To Assemble Vial and Flexible Diluent Container:
(Use Aseptic Technique)
1.Remove the protective covers from the top of the vial and the vial port on the diluent container as follows:
a. To removethe breakaway vial cap, swing the pull ring over the top of the vial and pull down far enough to start the opening (SEE FIGURE 1), then pull straight up to remove the cap. (SEE FIGURE 2.)
NOTE: Do not access vial with syringe.

b. To remove the vial port cover, grasp the tab on the pull ring, pull up to break the three tie strings, then pull back to remove the cover. (SEE FIGURE 3.)
2.Screw the vial into the vial port until it will go no further. THE VIAL MUST BE SCREWED IN TIGHTLY TO ASSURE A SEAL. This occurs approximately 1/2 turn (180°) after the first audible click. (SEE FIGURE 4.) The clicking sound does not assure a seal; the vial must be turned as far as it will go. NOTE: Once vial is seated, do not attempt to remove. (SEE FIGURE 4.)
3.Recheck the vial to assure that it is tight by trying to turn it further in the direction of assembly.
4.Label appropriately.

To Prepare Admixture:
1.Squeeze the bottom of the diluent container gently to inflate the portion of the container surrounding the end of the drug vial.
2.With the other hand, push the drug vial down into the container telescoping the walls of the container. Grasp the inner cap of the vial through the walls of the container. (SEE FIGURE 5.)
3.Pull the inner cap from the drug vial. (SEE FIGURE 6.) Verify that the rubber stopper has been pulled out, allowing the drug and diluent to mix.
4.Mix container contents thoroughly and use within the specified time.

Preparation for Administration:
(Use Aseptic Technique)
1.Confirm the activation and admixture of vial contents.
2.Check for leaks by squeezing container firmly. If leaks are found, discard unit as sterility may be impaired.
3.Close flow control clamp of administration set.
4.Remove cover from outlet port at bottom of container.
5.Insert piercing pin of administration set into
