Administration Leaflet: Oral Administration of Vitamin K Ampoule - Additional Information

This leaflet explains the correct method of breaking and administering Vitamin K orally from the glass ampoules.

The glass ampoules are designed to ensure a clean break, provided the following steps are followed:

Step 1:

Shake the ampoule until all the solution is at the bottom of the ampoule.
The solution should be clear; do not use if cloudy.

Step 2:

Hold the bottom part of the ampoule between the thumb and first finger of one hand.
Ensure that the spot on the ampoule is facing towards you.

Step 3:

If possible, cover the top of the ampoule with a tissue or towel. Then hold the top of the ampoule between the thumb and first finger of your other hand.

Step 4:

Snap the top of the ampoule off by pushing away from the side with the spot.

Step 5:

Place the syringe (provided together with the ampoule) vertically into the ampoule.
Withdraw the solution into the syringe until it reaches the correct marking on the syringe.
Hold the syringe against the light to check whether the solution is clear and also ensure that no glass pieces are stuck to the tip of the dispenser.
If unsure, expel the solution into a small cup to check for any glass pieces – if the solution is clear, withdraw again from the cup into the syringe.

Step 6:

Administer the contents of the syringe directly into the mouth.
