Description
Locasol is a nutritionally complete powdered feed containing cow’s milk protein, carbohydrate, fat, vitamins, minerals and trace elements with a very low calcium and vitamin D content. A food for special medical purposes.
Indications and Prescribability
Locasol is designed for use as a sole source of nutrition in infants or as a supplementary feed in children and adults in the dietary management of those conditions where an extreme restriction of calcium and vitamin D is required.
Suggested Intake
The quantity of Locasol should be determined by a clinician or a dietitian only and is dependent on the age, bodyweight and medical condition of the patient.
Preparation & Administration
Each level scoop (4.4g) of Locasol requires 30ml of water (approximately 1fl.oz) to yield the recommended feed concentration of 13.1%.
1. Wash hands thoroughly and clean preparation area. Sterilise bottles and teats.
2. Boil fresh water for 5 minutes and allow to cool for at least 30 minutes so that it feels warm to the wrist. Pour the required amount of water into a sterilised feeding bottle.
3. Fill the scoop provided with Locasol Formula and level off with a clean, dry knife. Do not press the powder into the scoop. Only use the scoop provided.
4. Add the prescribed number of scoops of Locasol Formula to the water. Replace the cap on the bottle and shake until the powder dissolves. Before feeding ensure that the formula is at the correct temperature by placing a few drops on the wrist.
5. Formula remaining in the bottle after one hour of feeding should be discarded. Formula must not be rewarmed during feeding.
Important Notice:
Powdered infant formula is not sterile. Where possible, and especially for infants who are vulnerable to infection, prepare formula immediately prior to feeding.
NOTE:
If formula is prepared in advance it must be cooled rapidly, stored in the refrigerator (2OC to 4OC) and used within 24 hours of preparation. Any formula remaining after 24 hours from preparation must be discarded. Shake or stir formula immediately before use. Formula should not be warmed for longer than 15 minutes prior to feeding. Do not boil formula and do not use a microwave oven to prepare or warm formula. For tube feeding “hang time” should not exceed 4 hours.
