Overview
Each 10 mL vial contains a sterile, non-pyrogenic, lyophilized mixture of: Tetrakis (2-methoxy isobutyl isonitrile) Copper (I) tetrafluoroborate - 1 mg Sodium Citrate Dihydrate - 2.6 mg L-Cysteine Hydrochloride Monohydrate - 1 mg Mannitol - 20 mg Stannous Chloride, Dihydrate, minimum (SnCl 2 2H 2 O) - 0.025 mg Stannous Chloride, Dihydrate (SnCl 2 2H 2 O) - 0.075 mg Tin Chloride (stannous and stannic) Dihydrate, maximum (as SnCl 2 2H 2 O) - 0.086 mg Prior to lyophilization the pH is 5.6 to 5.8. The contents of the vial are lyophilized and stored under nitrogen. This drug is administered by intravenous injection for diagnostic use after reconstitution with sterile, non-pyrogenic, oxidant-free Sodium Pertechnetate Tc 99m Injection. The pH of the reconstituted product is 5.5 (5.0-6.0). No bacteriostatic preservative is present. The precise structure of the technetium complex is Tc 99m[MIBI] 6 + where MIBI is 2-methoxyisobutylisonitrile. 11.1 Physical Characteristics Technetium Tc 99m decays by isomeric transition with a physical half-life of 6.02 hours. 1 Photons that are useful for detection and imaging studies are listed below in Table 3.

How to use
For Myocardial Imaging: The suggested dose range for I.V. administration of Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi in a single dose to be employed in the average patient (70 kg) is 370 to 1110 MBq (10 to 30 mCi). For Breast Imaging: The recommended dose range for I.V. administration of Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi is a single dose of 740 to 1110 MBq (20 to 30 mCi). For Myocardial Imaging: The suggested dose range for I.V. administration of Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi in a single dose to be employed in the average patient (70 kg) is 370 to 1110 MBq (10 to 30 mCi) ( 2 ). For Breast Imaging: The recommended dose range for I.V. administration of Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi is a single dose of 740 to 1110 MBq (20 to 30 mCi) ( 2 ). 2.1 Image Acquisition Breast Imaging: It is recommended that images are obtained with a table overlay to separate breast tissue from the myocardium and liver, and to exclude potential activity that may be present in the opposite breast. For lateral images, position the patient prone with the isolateral arm comfortably above the head, shoulders flat against the table, head turned to the side and relaxed, with the breast imaged pendent through an overlay cutout. The breast should not be compressed on the overlay. For anterior images, position the patient supine with both arms behind the head. For either lateral or anterior images, shield the chest and abdominal organs,…
Side effects
Adverse events were evaluated in 3741 adults who were evaluated in clinical studies. Of these patients, 3068 (77% men, 22% women, and 0.7 % of the patients' genders were not recorded) were in cardiac clinical trials and 673 (100% women) in breast imaging trials. Cases of angina, chest pain, and death have occurred [ see Warning and Precautions ( 5.1 ) ]. Adverse events reported at a rate of 0.5% or greater after receiving Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi administration are shown in the following table: Table 2.

Warnings
Important safety information
Pharmacologic induction of cardiovascular stress may be associated with serious adverse events such as myocardial infarction, arrhythmia, hypotension, bronchoconstriction and cerebrovascular events ( 5.1 ). Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi has been rarely associated with acute severe allergic and anaphylactic events of angioedema and generalized urticaria. In some patients the allergic symptoms developed on the second injection during Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi imaging ( 5.1 ). Caution should be exercised and emergency equipment should be available when administering Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi ( 5.1 ). Before administering Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi patients should be asked about the possibility of allergic reactions to either drug ( 5.1 ). The contents of the vial are intended only for use in the preparation of Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi and are not to be administered directly to the patient without first undergoing the preparative procedure ( 5.2 ). 5.1 Warnings In studying patients in whom cardiac disease is known or suspected, care should be taken to assure continuous monitoring and treatment in accordance with safe, accepted clinical procedure. Infrequently, death has occurred 4 to 24 hours after Tc 99m Sestamibi use and is usually associated with exercise stress testing [ see General Precautions ( 5.2 ) ]. Pharmacologic induction of cardiovascular stress may be associated…
