Medical professionals should let parents know that their child’s health depends on carefully following the instructions below. Improper hygiene, preparation, dilution, use, or storage may result in severe harm. Powdered formulas are not sterile and should NOT be fed to premature infants or those persons who might have immune problems unless directed and supervised by a doctor.
Discuss with parents whether they need to use cooled, boiled water for mixing and whether they need to boil clean utensils, bottles, and nipples in water before use.
WARNING: Do not use a microwave oven to warm formula. Serious burns may result.
Refer to the product label for the most accurate information.
The child’s doctor will provide instructions for the correct amounts of water and powder. One half (½) cup 3232 A (packed and leveled) delivers approximately 81 g powder. Pour desired amount of water into bottle/container. Add powder and mix vigorously.
- Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water before preparing formula.
- Add 81 g of powder (packed, level ½ cup) and 59 g of the desired carbohydrate to 4 fl oz (120 mL) of water in a clean bottle or container.
- Mix well with fork or mixer until a smooth paste is formed.
- Add additional water to make one quart. Initial feedings of 3232 A may need to contain less than the full 59 g of carbohydrate recommended, or the formula may need to be diluted to 10 Cal/fl oz or less and gradually increased to 20 Cal/fl oz.
Failure to follow those instructions could result in severe harm. Once prepared, formula can spoil quickly. Either feed immediately or cover and store in refrigerator at 35–40ºF (2–4ºC) for no longer than 24 hours. Do not use prepared formula if it is unrefrigerated for more than a total of 2 hours. Do not freeze prepared formula. After feeding begins, do not refrigerate feeding bottle/container. You must use within 1 hour or discard.
POWDER STORAGE: Store cans at room temperature. After opening can, keep tightly covered, store in dry area, and use contents within 1 month. Do not freeze powder, and avoid excessive heat.
Use by date on bottom of can.
WARNING: This product is nutritionally incomplete. Care must be taken to provide enough carbohydrate to support growth, using other foods with 3232 A as required. For long-term use, additional essential fatty acids should be considered. The child’s doctor must carefully and constantly supervise use of 3232 A.
WARNING: Not for parenteral (I.V.) use.
If incremental addition of carbohydrate is desired, see the table below.
