Kabiven/Perikabiven’s unique design streamlines the delivery of nutrition therapy to patients by simplifying calculations, prescription writing, compounding, and administration, all while supporting PN safety by minimizing the risk of contamination.1 The Kabiven and Perikabiven 3-chamber PN bags efficiently deliver 3 macronutrients (dextrose, protein, and lipids) plus electrolytes in volumes and concentrations that meet the needs of most PN patients.2,3

Fresenius Kabi pioneered the use of an all-in-one, 3-chamber bag designed for the efficient delivery of PN.
Indication:
Kabiven and Perikabiven are each indicated as a source of calories, protein, electrolytes, and essential fatty acids for adult patients requiring PN when oral or enteral nutrition is not possible, insufficient, or contraindicated. Kabiven and Perikabiven may be used to prevent essential fatty acid deficiency or treat negative nitrogen balance in adult patients.2,3
Kabiven is indicated for intravenous infusion into a central vein.2 Perikabiven is indicated for intravenous infusion into a peripheral or central vein.3
Limitations of Use:
Neither Kabiven nor Perikabiven are recommended for use in pediatric patients <2 years, including preterm infants because the fixed content of the formulations do not meet the nutritional requirements in this age group.2,3
Fresenius Kabi’s patient support program, KabiCare, offers online resources for claims appeals and billing as well as coding guides for parenteral nutrition.
