Instructions for use
The quantity of solution to be used varies depending on the case.

Components
1,000 ml of solution contain:

- electrolytes (mmol/l): Na+ 154, Cl- 154.

Warnings
Not for injection. Avoid exposing the product to direct sunlight.
Overdosing during wound irrigation and intraoperative application can lead to absorption of the irrigation solution, which in turn can cause hypervolemia in the form of hypotonic overhydration (hyponatremia).
Headache, nausea, restlessness, and disorientation are symptoms of overhydration. In severe cases, coma-like states may occur.
Interventions in case of overdose: interrupt irrigation, correct electrolyte balance according to the specific clinical situation.
Do not use for infusions. Use only if the seal is intact and the solution is clear. Store in closed containers; residual quantities must be discarded. Reusing single-use devices creates a potential risk for both the patient and the operator. It can cause contamination and/or reduction in device functionality, which can lead to injury, illness, or death of the patient. Keep out of reach of children. Where there is a risk of absorption of large quantities of solution, such as when used in large cavities or on extensive lesions, do not use on patients in a state of overhydration.
In such situations, it must be used with caution in patients with:
– hypertonic dehydration;
– hypokalemia;
– hypernatremia;
– hyperchloremia;
– disorders where limited sodium intake is indicated, for example, heart failure, generalized edema, pulmonary edema, hypertension, eclampsia, severe renal failure.
NaCl 0.9% B. Braun must not be used for intrathecal irrigation procedures.
