| dailymed-instance:dosage |
As required for irrigation. When used as a diluent, or vehicle for other drugs, the drug
manufacturer's recommendations should be followed. Some additives may be incompatible. Consult with pharmacist. When introducing additives, use aseptic techniques. Mix thoroughly. Do not store. Solutions should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permits.

Each 100 mL contains:Sodium Chloride USP 0.9 g; Water for Injection USP qs pH adjusted with Hydrochloric Acid NFpH: 5.0 (4.5���7.0) Calculated Osmolarity: 310 mOsmol/liter Concentration of Electrolytes (mEq/liter): Sodium 154; Chloride 154 0.9% Sodium Chloride Irrigation USP is sterile, nonpyrogenic, isotonic and contains no bacteriostatic or antimicrobial agents. The formula of the active ingredient is: The plastic container is a copolymer of ethylene and propylene formulated and developed for parenteral drugs. The copolymer contains no plasticizers and exhibits virtually no leachability. The plastic container is also virtually impermeable to vapor transmission and, therefore, requires no overwrap to maintain the proper drug concentration. The safety of the plastic container has been confirmed by biological evaluation procedures. The material passes Class Vl testing as specified in the U.S. Pharmacopeia for Biological Tests���Plastic Containers. These tests have shown that the container is nontoxic and biologically inert.

0.9% Sodium Chloride Irrigation USP is utilized for a variety of clinical indications such as sterile irrigation of body cavities, tissues or wounds, indwelling urethral catheters, surgical drainage tubes, and for washing, rinsing or soaking surgical dressings, instruments and laboratory specimens. It also servesas a diluent or vehicle for drugs used for irrigation or other pharmaceutical preparations. 0.9% Sodium Chloride Irrigation USP provides an isotonic saline irrigation identical in composition with 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection USP (normal saline). Physiological irrigation solutions are considered generally
compatible with living tissues and organs. Sodium, the major cation of the extracellular fluid, functions primarily in the control of water distribution, fluid balance, and osmotic pressure of body fluids. Sodium is also associated with chloride and bicarbonate in the regulation of the acid-base equilibrium of body fluid. Chloride, the major extracellular anion, closely follows the metabolism of sodium, and changes in the acid-base balance of the body are reflected by changes in the chloride concentration.

0.9% Sodium Chloride Irrigation USP is not for injection by usual parenteral routes. An electrolyte solution should not be used for irrigation during electrosurgical procedures.
|
| dailymed-instance:supply |
0.9% Sodium Chloride Irrigation USP is supplied sterile and nonpyrogenic in PIC���(Plastic Irrigation Container). The 1000 mL and 500 mL containers are packaged 16 per case, the 2000 mL containers are packaged 8 per case, and the 4000 mL containers are packaged 4 per case. Exposure of pharmaceutical products to heat should be minimized. Avoid excessive heat. Protect from freezing. It is recommended that the product be stored at room temperature (25��C); however, brief exposure up to 40��C does not adversely affect the product. Do not warm above 150��F (66��C).

Possible adverse effects arising from the irrigation of body cavities, tissues, or indwelling catheters and tubes should be avoidable when proper procedures are followed. Displaced catheters or drainage tubes can lead to irrigation or infiltration of unintended structures or cavities. Excessive volume or pressure during irrigation of closed cavities may cause undue distension or disruption of tissues. Accidental contamination from careless technique may transmit infection. If an adverse reaction does occur, discontinue administration of the irrigant, evaluate the patient, institute appropriate therapeutic countermeasures, and save the remainder of the fluid for examination if deemed necessary.
