Hemoglobin-based oxygen carrier-201 (HBOC 201)
HBOC-201 is an investigational solution of sterile, ultrapurified, glutaraldehyde polymerized, modified bovine hemoglobin (Hb) in a balanced electrolyte solution. HBOC-201 has an Hb concentration of 12-14g/dL. HBOC-201 is an isosmotic solution that is stable for at least 36 months at 2-30ºC. It requires no reconstitution and can be administered directly into a peripheral or central vein. Blood typing is not required because all other cellular components, including the RBC membranes that carry the blood group antigens, have been removed.
