Cardioplegia solution compounding - please reply!

Hi,

we are experiencing a shortage of Plegisol and would like to compound our own cardioplegia solution using our Baxter Compounder (Exactamix 2400) but have never done so. I am concerned about the pH. Does anyone have any recipe, including BUD they would be willing so share?

Thank you in advance for help!!
