ADVERSE REACTIONS The following adverse reactions associated with the use of Technescan PYP have been reported: flushing, hypotension, fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, and dizziness, as well as hypersensitivity reactions such as itching and various skin rashes.
WARNINGS Image interpretation errors can occur.
As an adjunct in the diagnosis of confirmed myocardial infarction (ECG and serum enzymes positive), the estimate of false negative image interpretations was 6%.
False negative image interpretations can occur if made too early in the evolutionary phase of the infarct or too late in the resolution phase.
In a study involving 22 patients in whom ECG was positive and serum enzymes questionable or negative, but in whom the final diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction was made, the estimates of false negative and false positive image interpretations were 23% and 9%, respectively.
False positive image interpretations have been reported following coronary artery bypass graft surgery and in unstable angina pectoris, old myocardial infarcts, and cardiac contusions.
