DIRECTIONS FOR USE – USE ONLY AS DIRECTED

• Use sterile needles and syringes and aseptic procedures.

• For the 100 mℓ pack size – Draw up 2 to 3 mℓ of the (Pasteurella) haemolytica leukotoxin component from the 100 mℓ plastic vial and inject into the 7 mℓ glass vial containing the modified, live viruses. Aspirate contents and transfer back into the 100 mℓ vial. Mix gently to distribute the viruses evenly in the liquid.
• For the 10 mℓ pack size – Draw up 2 to 3 mℓ of the (Pasteurella) haemolytica leukotoxin component from the 10 mℓ plastic vial and inject into the 7 mℓ glass vial containing the modified live viruses. Aspirate contents and transfer back into the 10 mℓ vial. Mix gently to distribute the viruses evenly through the liquid.
• Note: the contents of the 7 mℓ glass vials for the 10 mℓ, and 100 mℓ pack sizes are not interchangeable.
