DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
This irrigating solution should be used according to standard format for each surgical procedure. Follow directions of the particular administration set to be used. Remove the outer overwrap. Clean and disinfect the rubber stopper by using a sterile alcohol wipe. Insert the spike aseptically into the bag through the target area of the rubber stopper. Allow the fluid to flow and remove air from the tubing before irrigation begins.

Do not use if product is discolored or contains a precipitate. SINGLE patient use only. The contents of this bag should not be used in more than one patient.
