Discard after single use.
Discard any unused portion.
Do not reconnect partially used bags.
Do not remove unit from overwrap until ready for use. The inner bag maintains the sterility of the product.
Use only if the solution is clear without visible particles and container undamaged. In case an infusion set has been inserted, administer immediately.
Thorough and careful aseptic mixing of any additive is mandatory.
Make the infusion isotonic prior to parenteral administration.
The following (technical caused) filling volumes should be considered during preparation of the final solution:
59 ml | for the 50ml container |
111ml | for the 100ml container |
271ml | for the 250ml container |
530 ml | for the 500ml container |
1040ml | for the 1000ml container |
Additives may be introduced before administration or during administration through the resealable medication port.
Solutions containing additives should be used immediately after preparation unless preparation has taken place in controlled and validated aseptic conditions.
Do not use plastic containers in series connections. Such use could result in air embolism due to residual air being drawn from the primary container before the administration of the fluid from the secondary container is completed.
To open
Check for minute leaks by squeezing inner bag firmly. If leaks are found, discard solution, as sterility may be impaired.
