Intended User: Only use by an orthopedist or related doctor.
Instruction for Use: Before the Use: The gel of the syringe must be used immediately after its packaging is opened.
The injection site should be disinfected with alcohol or other appropriate disinfection solution that isn't containing quaternary ammonium salts prior to administration.
Use a 23G needle packed in the blister. Do not use if the package of needle is damaged.
To ensure a tight connection and prevent leakage during administration, secure the needle and syringe tightly. If improper connection is made, it may burst and injure the user.
Do not over tighten or apply excessive leverage when attaching the needle or removing the needle case, as this may break the syringe tip.
Carefully push the plunger rod until a small droplet is visible at the tip of the needle before product injection to check if the needle is clogged. If the needle is clogged, do not use the product. If a clogged needle is used, an injury may occur on account of damage of the syringe.
Remove synovial fluid or effusion before injecting the product, if needed.
