Composition / Information on Ingredients Material: Medicinal product derived from human plasma Active ingredient: Concentrate of human Coagulation Factors II, VII, IX, X, Protein C and Protein S (non hazardous component) Other components: Human Albumin, Antithrombin III and Heparin (non hazardous components) Packaging units: 500 units Kcentra in a single-use vial, 20mL vial of Sterile Water for Injection, USP, Mix2Vial filter transfer set, Alcohol swab 1000 units Kcentra in a single-use vial, 40mL vial of Sterile Water for Injection, USP, Mix2Vial filter transfer set, Alcohol swab 3. Potential Hazards No hazardous product according to guideline 67/548/EWG. Kcentra is made from human plasma. Because this product is made from human blood, it may carry a risk of transmitting infectious agents, e.g., viruses, and theoretically, the Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) agent. There is also the possibility that unknown infectious agents may be present in such products. The risk that such products could transmit viruses has been reduced by screening plasma donors for prior exposure to certain viruses, by testing for the presence of certain current virus infections, and by inactivating and removing certain viruses during manufacture. Despite these measures, such products may still potentially transmit disease. CSL Behring Page 1 of 5

Hazard Decomposition Product None 11. Toxicological Information All product components are considered to be non hazardous. The product is intended for intravenous application, therefore oral, dermal or inhalation toxicity studies are not relevant. Single dose studies: CSL Behring Page 3 of 5
Acute toxicity studies were performed in rodents (mice, rats) with single i.v. injection. Mice were administered with a dose of 20, 60 and 200 U/kg b.w. and rats with a dose of 20, 50, and 100 U/kg body weight respectively. In mice, a dose of 60 U/kg was tolerated, 200 U/kg induced mild signs of toxicity. In rats, acute lethal i.v. dose demonstrated to be greater than 100 U/kg. Local tolerance: Rabbits were injected with 5 ml/rabbit (43.5 U/kg) i.v. or i.a. and with 0.1 ml/rabbit (0.9 U/kg) p.v. respectively. The substance was regarded as moderately tolerable after i.v., i.a. and p.v. injection. In another study rabbits were injected with 5 ml/rabbit (50 U/kg) i.v. In this study the substance was regarded as local tolerable after i.v. injection. Safety Pharmacology Dogs were injected i.v. at a maximal total dose of 350 U/kg body weight. No relevant adverse effect was observed. Neoantigenicity No evidence for the generation of a neoepitope was detected in a rabbit study. 12. Ecological Information The nature as human plasma protein does not provide any risk for the environment (water, soil, air). CSL Behring Page 4 of 5
