Each 1.0 ml of Balanced Salt Solution contains Calcium Chloride (Ca.2Cl.2H2O) 0.48 mg, Magnesium Chloride (2Cl.Mg.6H2O) 0.30 mg, Potassium Chloride (Cl.K) 0.75 mg, Sodium Acetate (C2H3O2.Na.3H2O) 3.90 mg, Sodium Chloride (Cl.Na) 6.40 mg, Sodium Citrate (C6H5O7.3Na.2H2O) 1.70 mg, Hydrochloric Acid and/or Sodium Hydroxide added to adjust pH.

PHARMACOLOGY: A physiological irrigating solution.

INDICATIONS: For irrigation of the eyes,ears, nose and/or throat during a variety of surgical procedures.

PRECAUTIONS: This solution does not contain a preservative and should be discarded after a single use. Do not use this solution unless it is clear and vacuum is present. Do not use if seal assembly or bottle is damaged. The addition of any medication to Balanced Salt Solution may result in damage to Intraocular tissue. 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 abserved. There have been reports of corneal clouding or edema following ocular surgery in which Balanced Salt Solution was used as an irrigating fluid. As in all surgical procedures appropiate measures should be taken to minimize trauma to the cornea and other ocular tissues.

CONTRAINDICATIONS: There are no known contraindications.

INTERACTIONS: The product should not be mixed with any other solution or therapeutic agent as ocular tissue damage may result.

USE IN PREGNANCY AND LACTATION: As Balanced Salt Solution contains no therapeutically or pharmacologically actice ingredient and is not intended to be absorbed it poses no special threat to pregnancy or lactation.


ADVERSE REACTIONS: Bullous keratopathy may result when abnormal corneal endothelium is irrigated or subjected to any other trauma. There have been reports of corneal clouding and corneal edema following ocular surgery in which a balanced salt solution was used for irrigation. The frequency of such events has not been established adequately.

Should any adverse reaction occur, discontinue use of this product, institute appropriate care, and save the remaining fluid for analysis.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION: Balanced Salt Solution should be used in conjunction with established practices for each surgical procedure. An administration set equipped with a vented spike should be used since the container does not have an airway tube. Flip off plastic cap from the aluminum seal assembly. Using aseptic technique, insert the spike through the larger, circular, indented area of the rubber slopper. Prior to irrigation, invert the bottle and allow solution to flow entire length of tubing so air is purge air from the tubing or fluid path.

STOREAGE: Store below 25 degree Centigrade. Do not freeze.

Store under normal room conditions at temperature ranges from 46 degree F to 75 degree F (8 degree centigrade - 24 degree centigrade). Avoid exposure to excessive heat and do not allow to freeze.
