Sodium Chloride, Sodium Gluconate, Sodium Acetate, Potassium Chloride, and Magnesium Chloride: Uses, Side Effects and Dosage

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

For Information on Risk of Air Embolism – see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION.

Check solution container composition, lot number, and expiry date.

Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit.

Do not use solution containers in series connections.

Do not remove solution container from its overwrap until immediately before use.

The intact port caps provide visual tamper evidence. Do not use if a port cap is prematurely removed. Maintain strict aseptic technique during handling.

TO OPEN

1. 1. Always inspect the solution container before and after removal from the overwrap.
2. 2. Place the solution container on a clean, flat surface. Using the pre-cut corner tabs, peel open the overwrap and remove the solution container from the overwrap.
3. 3. Check the solution container for leaks by squeezing firmly. If leaks are found, discard as sterility may be impaired.
4. 4. Do not use if the solution is cloudy or a precipitate is present.

TO PREPARE FOR ADMINISTRATION

1. 1. Immediately before inserting the infusion set, break off BLUE Infusion Port Cap with the arrow pointing away from the solution container.
2. 2. Use a non-vented infusion set or close the air-inlet on a vented set.
3. 3. Close the roller clamp of the infusion set.
4. 4. Hold the base of BLUE Infusion Port, twist and push the spike until the spike is fully inserted. Refer to complete directions accompanying set.
5. 5. The BLUE infusion port contains a self‐sealing septum that helps prevent leakage after removing the spike. The infusion port is not intended to be spiked more than once.
6. 6. Suspend solution container from hanger hole.

If supplemental medication is desired, follow directions below.

3. 3. Hold base of WHITE Injection Port.
4. 4. Insert needle (18 to 23 gauge) through the center of WHITE Injection Port's septum and inject additives.
