About DEFINITY

DEFINITY is a medical imaging agent used in ultrasound procedures to visualize the heart and its blood vessels. It is a suspension of perflutren microspheres in a solution, which is administered intravenously to provide high-quality images of cardiac structures and function.

Key Benefits & Uses

• Enhanced visualization of the heart and its blood vessels during ultrasound procedures
• Improved diagnostic accuracy for conditions such as cardiac shunts, valvular disease, and cardiac tumors
• Assistance in guiding percutaneous interventions, such as cardiac catheterization and percutaneous valve repair

Active Ingredient & Action

DEFINITY contains perflutren, a perfluorocarbon-based gas that is encapsulated in microspheres. When administered intravenously, perflutren microspheres are taken up by the lungs, where they are metabolized and exhaled. The microspheres then accumulate in the blood and are visible on ultrasound images, providing high-quality images of cardiac structures and function.

Important Notes

DEFINITY should only be used under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional. Patients with certain medical conditions, such as severe respiratory disease or severe cardiac disease, may not be suitable candidates for this procedure. It is essential to follow the recommended dosing and administration guidelines to ensure safe and effective use of DEFINITY.
