Administration
1. Ensure there is a port available for the injection of the ICG solution
followed by the saline ush.
2. Draw the required dosage of ICG solution for each planned imaging
sequence into separate syringes.
3. Draw approximately 10 –12mL of normal saline for each planned imaging
sequence into separate syringes.
Note: There should be the same number of saline syringes (or more) than
the prepared ICG solution syringes. If the saline syringes are prepared
prior to the procedure, place them in a convenient and sterile location for
use at the time of imaging.
4. Administer 2.5mg of the prepared ICG solution intravenously.
• For visual assessment of the major extrahepatic bile ducts, administer
ICG at least 30 minutes prior to near-infrared imaging.
• For visual assessment of vessels, blood ow and related tissue
perfusion, administer ICG immediately before near-infrared imaging.
5. Immediately follow each ICG injection with a tight bolus injection of
approximately 10 –12mL of normal saline.
After each injection of ICG solution, the ENV mode should be able to visualize
a uorescence response in blood vessels and tissue within severalseconds.
Note: Once the ICG solution is prepared, it must be used within 6 hours. If
additional ICG solution is required to administer, reconstitute a second vial of
ICG after the rst reconstituted solution has been used completely.
ICG Overview
• Injection method: Intravascular
• Recommended dosage: Typically 2.5mg
ICG Storage
• Discard any unused reconstituted ICG after the surgery is complete.
• Store AIM IC-GREEN at ambient room temperatures of 20 – 25°C
(68 – 77°F).
• Do not use AIM IC-GREEN if the expiration date on the packaging has
passed.
