Balfaxar Reconstitution Delays

Hello colleagues,

After switching from Kcentra to Balfaxar, IV staff are reporting that it takes much longer (>5 minutes) to reconstitute Balfaxar (even when stored at room temperature). Curious if other sites have noticed this and have found any mitigation strategies (i.e. constant gentle swirling)?

Thank you,
