A
Choose an infusion site (or sites) in either the middle or
upper abdomen or thigh. Avoid bony areas, visible blood
vessels, scars, and any areas of inflammation, irritation, or
infection. Rotate your sites by choosing opposite sides of
the body for each infusion.

Check for proper needle placement. Open the clamp on the
needle set and gently pull back on the syringe plunger. Make
sure there is no blood in the tubing.
Secure the needle set
in place by applying a clear dressing over the site. If blood
is seen in the tubing, remove and discard the subcutaneous
needle and repeat steps 2A-2F and 4A-4C with a new needle
and infusion site.
F
Administer the HY at a rate of 1 to 2 mL per minute per
infusion site. (For example, infusing 15 mL of HY should
take about 7.5 to 15 minutes for a 30 gram HYQVIA dose.)
Divide content equally between sites, if more than one site
is used.
REMEMBER:
HY before IG.
When all the HY has been infused, detach the syringe from
the subcutaneous needle set. Do not remove the needle(s)
from your infusion site(s).

Wash your hands with antibacterial soap. Wipe each
infusion site with a sterile alcohol wipe (beginning at the
center of the site and moving outward in a circular motion)
and let dry (at least 30 seconds).
Remove the subcutaneous needle cover. Firmly grasp and
pinch at least 1 inch of skin. Insert the needle with a rapid
motion straight into the skin at a 90-degree angle. Secure
the needle in place with sterile tape. Repeat this step for
additional infusion sites.
