Abstract: The invention relates to a medical product for preventing or correcting vitamin A deficiency in a patient comprising a lipid emulsion in a flexible container, the lipid emulsion comprising (a) vitamin A in the lipid phase of the lipid emulsion, (b) optionally additionally vitamin D, vitamin E and/or vitamin K in the lipid phase of the lipid emulsion, and (c) no more than 1.5 ppm dissolved oxygen (DO), (d) wherein the pH of the lipid emulsion is from 5 to 9.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a terminally heat-sterilized ready-to-use parenteral nutrition formulation comprising all macronutrients and micronutrients required to meet the clinical guidelines for parenteral nutrition, wherein all said micronutrients and macronutrients are provided in one multi-chamber bag (MCB). The disclosure is also directed to a parenteral nutrition formulation comprising all such macronutrients and micronutrients. More specifically, the present disclosure is directed to a MCB comprising at least five chambers containing a carbohydrate formulation in a first chamber, an amino acid formulation in a second chamber, a lipid formulation in a third chamber, a fourth chamber comprising a vitamin formulation and a fifth chamber comprising a trace element formulation, wherein the carbohydrate formulation, amino acid formulation and/or the lipid formulation may also contain certain vitamins and certain trace elements that can be stably accommodated therein.

Abstract: Parenteral nutrition formulations for pediatric patients are disclosed. The nutritional formulations include a lipid formulation that comprises an aqueous phase and an oil phase, wherein the lipid formulation is in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion. Multi-chamber containers for parenteral nutrition administration comprising a carbohydrate formulation present in a first chamber, an amino acid formulation present in a second chamber, and the lipid formulation present in a third chamber also are disclosed.

Abstract: A multiple chamber container for separately storing components of a parenteral nutritional formulation is provided. The multiple chamber container may include frangible barriers, preferably peelable seals separating the chambers from each other. The container preferably facilitates the selective activation of the peelable seals to permit the admixing of less than all the separately stored components. The container may include a chamber positioned at each of the opposite lateral ends of the container and at least one additional chamber between the lateral chambers. The at least one additional chamber may have a longitudinal length substantially less than the longitudinal length of at least one of the lateral chambers. This configuration allows for selective opening of the seals since when rolling the container from the top avoids pressurizing the at least one additional chamber and inadvertent activation of a seal.

Abstract: A medical product and parenteral formulation are provided. The parenteral formulation is preferably for fluid restricted patients such as pediatric patients and can include amino acids, lipids, carbohydrates and electrolytes. The parenteral formulation can be housed in a multi-chamber container for separately storing a amino acid component, a lipid component and a carbohydrate component to provide a medical product. Frangible barriers preferably peelable seals separate the components and allow for admix to form a just prior to administration. Electrolytes can also be included in one or both of the carbohydrate and amino acid components; preferably the electrolytes are included in the amino acid component and the amino acid component includes cysteine. The multi-chamber container preferably facilitates the selective activation of the peelable seals to permit the admixing of less than all the separately stored components.
