Indium In 111 Pentetate Injection
» Indium In 111 Pentetate Injection is a sterile, isotonic solution suitable for intrathecal administration, containing radioactive indium (111In) in the form of a chelate of pentetic acid. It contains not less than 90.0 percent and not more than 110.0 percent of the labeled amount of 111In as the pentetic acid complex expressed in megabecquerels (microcuries or millicuries) per mL at the time indicated in the labeling. It may contain sodium chloride and buffers. Other chemical forms of radioactivity do not exceed 10.0 percent of the total radioactivity.
Packaging and storage—
Preserve in single-dose containers.
Labeling—
Label it to include the following, in addition to the information specified for Labeling under Injections 
1
: the time and date of calibration; the amount of 111In as labeled pentetic acid complex expressed as total megabecquerels (millicuries or microcuries) and concentration as megabecquerels (microcuries or millicuries) per mL on the date and time of calibration; the expiration date; and the statement “Caution—Radioactive Material.” The labeling indicates that in making dosage calculations, correction is to be made for radioactive decay, and also indicates that the radioactive half-life of 111In is 2.83 days.

Radiochemical purity—
Place 2 µL to 5 µL of Injection about 17 mm from one end of a 65- × 97-mm piece of silica gel-impregnated glass microfiber sheet (see under Reagents in the section Reagents, Indicators, and Solutions) (see also Chromatography 621), and allow to dry. Repeat applications may be made to obtain a suitable count rate. Develop the chromatogram over a suitable period of time by ascending chromatography, using dilute methanol (8.5 in 10), and dry in an oven at 105 ± 5
for 5 minutes. Determine the radioactivity distribution by scanning the chromatogram with a suitable collimated radiation detector. The radioactivity of the indium pentetic acid complex band is not less than 90.0% of the total radioactivity, and the RF value is between 0.8 and 1.0.

Radionuclidic purity—
Using a suitable counting assembly (see Selection of a Counting Assembly under Radioactivity 821), determine the radioactivity of each radionuclidic impurity, in kBq per MBq (µCi per mCi) of 111In, in the Injection by use of a calibrated system as directed under Radioactivity 821.
