PRECAUTIONS

Open under aseptic conditions only.

Studies suggest that intraocular irrigating solutions which are iso-osmotic with normal aqueous fluids should be used with caution in diabetic patients undergoing vitrectomy since intraoperative lens changes have been observed.

There have been reports of corneal clouding or edema following ocular surgery in which Balanced Salt Solution Sterile Irrigating Solution was used as an irrigating solution.

DESCRIPTION

Balanced Salt Solution Sterile Irrigating Solution is a sterile balanced salt solution in 500 mL single-dose EXCEL® flexible containers. Each mL contains sodium chloride (NaCl) 0.64%, potassium chloride (KCl) 0.075%, calcium chloride dihydrate (CaCl2·2H2O) 0.048%, magnesium chloride hexahydrate (MgCl2·6H2O) 0.03%, sodium acetate trihydrate (C2H3NaO2·3H2O) 0.39%, sodium citrate dihydrate (C6H5Na3O7·2H2O) 0.17%, sodium hydroxide and/or hydrochloric acid (to adjust pH), and water for injection.

The pH is approximately 7.0.

The osmolality is approximately 300 mOsm/Kg.

The EXCEL® plastic container is made from a multilayered film. The solution contact layer is a rubberized copolymer of ethylene and propylene. The container is nontoxic and biologically inert. The container-solution unit is a closed system and is not dependent upon entry of external air during administration. The container is overwrapped to provide protection from the physical environment and to provide an additional moisture barrier when necessary.

Addition of medication should be accomplished using complete aseptic technique.

The closure system has two ports; the one for the administration set has a tamper evident plastic protector and the other is a medication addition site. Refer to the Directions for Use of the container.
