Directions For Use

Description

Cevac IMass™ Bronchitis vaccine contains the Massachusetts (Mass) type of Infectious Bronchitis Virus (IBV). This Bronchitis vaccine is presented in a frozen form. The IB virus particles are very fragile and require careful handling to prevent damage or loss of titer in order to achieve optimum efficacy. The vaccine is stored and shipped in frozen form in liquid nitrogen.

STORAGE CONDITIONS

● Vaccine ampules: Store in liquid nitrogen

● Diluent: Store at room temperature between 68-77°F (20-25°C)

Cevac IMass Indications

This product has been shown to be effective for the vaccination of healthy chickens at one day of age or older against Infectious Bronchitis Virus Mass type. The duration of immunity is unknown. For more information regarding efficacy and safety data, see productdata.aphis.usda.gov.

Good management practices are recommended to reduce exposure to Infectious Bronchitis Virus for at least two weeks following vaccination.

VACCINE PREPARATION

1. Be familiar with all safety and precautionary measures for handling liquid nitrogen to prevent personal injury.

2. Wear gloves, a plastic face shield, and protective goggles before removing vaccine ampoules from the liquid nitrogen.

3. Check the container to confirm a sufficient amount of liquid nitrogen is present to keep the vaccine frozen. If thawed, do not use the vaccine. The containers (dewars) must be checked regularly for liquid nitrogen level and must be refilled as needed.

4. After inspecting the diluent and completing all preparations, match the dose size of the vaccine with the diluent amount.

5. The vaccine should be quickly removed from the dewar and placed into a clean 80°F (26.5°C) thaw bath. This step can be repeated until the appropriate dosage has been reached. Gentle agitation during the thawing process promotes rapid, uniform thawing and evenly distributes the vaccine in the ampoule.

6. Immediately after thawing, confirm the vaccine is removed from the ampoule neck and carefully open the ampoule.

7. Gently draw the vaccine from the ampoule with an 18-gauge, 1.5 inch needle and slowly mix with the diluent. Rinse the ampoule one time with the diluted vaccine.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION FOR COARSE SPRAY (10,000 DOSES):

Carefully read the product directions before use. Match the vaccine dose size to the proper distilled water dilution for coarse-spray administration. Attach spray head to vaccine container and set nozzle at a coarse spray setting. Administer vaccine to each tray of 100 chicks. Spray 18-24 inches from the spraying heads. Each tray (100 birds) should receive approximately 7 to 20 mL (depending on type of application) of vaccine. Whatever volume of vaccine is used in the spray cabinet, be sure to administer 1000 doses to 1000 chickens.
