  1. 1.

    Caution – Before use, perform the following checks:

    1. (a) Read the label. Ensure solution is the one ordered and is within the expiration date.
    2. (b) Invert container and inspect the solution in good light for cloudiness, haze, or particulate matter; check the container for leakage or damage. Any container which is suspect should not be used.

    Use only if solution is clear and container and seal are intact.

  2. 2.

    Outer Closure Removal – Grasp the container with one hand and turn the breakaway ring counterclockwise with the other hand until slight resistance is felt. Then, twisting the container in the opposite direction, turn the breakaway ring sharply until the entire outer cap is loose and can be lifted off. (Figure 1)
