Usage & Preparation - Ketocal 3:1 300g

Indications

For enteral use only. Can be used to administer the classical long-chain triglyceride (LCT) ketogenic diet for the dietary management of drug resistant epilepsy and/or other conditions for which the ketogenic diet is indicated. The product is suitable as a sole source of nutrition until 3 years and as a supplementary feed for infants and children aged over 3 years.

Medical Supervision

Must be used under strict medical supervision. Monitor for hypoglycaemia, renal stones, adequate growth and hyperlipidaemia. The ketogenic diet requires careful monitoring of ketone levels, glucose levels, and overall nutritional status. Feeding amounts and duration should be determined by a clinician or specialist dietitian only.

Preparation Instructions

1. Wash hands thoroughly and clean the preparation area. Sterilise feeding and preparation equipment
2. Ketocal 3:1 must be made up with hot water (45°-50°C or 113°-122°F) to fully dissolve
3. Boil fresh water (for five minutes) and allow to cool to approximately 50°C using a sterile thermometer. Alternatively, mix water that has been freshly boiled for five minutes, with cool water (that has been previously boiled for five minutes) in a 1:1 ratio to achieve the correct temperature
4. Pour the required amount of hot water into a sterilised feeding bottle or a sterilised container that seals with screw-top lid
5. Weigh out the required amount of Ketocal 3:1
6. Add the weighed Ketocal 3:1 to the water. Replace the cap on the bottle or container and shake vigorously until the powder dissolves. The prepared formula must be cooled rapidly to the correct temperature before feeding
7. For bottle feeding, test the temperature by placing a few drops on the wrist. Formula should feed warm to the wrist
8. Formula remaining in the bottle after one hour of feeding should be discarded. Formula must not be re-warmed during feeding
9. For sip feeding, chill in a refrigerator if desired. Shake or stir formula before use
10. For tube feeding, flush tube with lukewarm water (approx. 37°C or 99°F) between each feed to avoid blockage

Important Notes

• Powdered formula is not sterile. Formula should be prepared immediately prior to feeding
• Do not boil formula and do not use a microwave oven to heat
• The high fat content may cause gastrointestinal symptoms if introduced too rapidly; introduce gradually under medical supervision
• Good dental hygiene is important for infants and children, as prolonged or frequent contact of drinks and feeds with teeth increases the risk of tooth decay
• Make sure their teeth are cleaned after the last feed at night

Storage

• Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight
• Once opened, Ketocal 3:1 should be used within 1 month
• Shelf life: 12 months from date of manufacture when unopened
