Prior to use, check the following: tip should be firmly in place, irrigating needle should be properly seated; squeeze out several drops before inserting into anterior chamber. The needle should be removed from the anterior chamber prior to releasing pressure to prevent suction. 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 observed. There have been reports of corneal clouding or edema following ocular surgery in which BSS Sterile Irrigating Solution was used as an irrigating solution."],"set_id":"4bd4d59c-eb3b-4a5e-9eb7-ae95b0a92bea","spl_product_data_elements":["BSS balanced salt solution SODIUM CHLORIDE SODIUM CATION POTASSIUM CHLORIDE POTASSIUM CATION CALCIUM CHLORIDE CALCIUM CATION MAGNESIUM CHLORIDE MAGNESIUM CATION SODIUM ACETATE SODIUM CATION SODIUM CITRATE SODIUM CATION SODIUM HYDROXIDE HYDROCHLORIC ACID WATER carton label label carton Bottle Lable"],"version":"15","warnings":["WARNINGS • NOT FOR INJECTION OR INTRAVENOUS INFUSION. • Do not use unless product is clear, seal is intact, and container is undamaged. • Do not use if product is discolored or contains a precipitate. • SINGLE patient use only.
