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 Balanced Salt Solution was used as an irrigating solution. As in all surgical procedures, appropriate measures should be taken to minimize trauma to the cornea and other ocular tissues.
When the corneal endothelium is abnormal, irrigation or any other trauma may result in bullous keratopathy. Postoperative inflammatory reactions as well as incidence of corneal edema and corneal decompensation have been reported. Their relationship to the use of Balanced Salt Solution has not been established.
Note: Use an administration set with an air inlet in the plastic spike since the bottle does not contain a separate airway tube. Follow directions of the particular administration set to be used. Grasp plastic ring on top of bottle and pull down along scored area. Then pull radially around the cap and remove.
Remove the spike port protective cover by lifting up on the finger grip tab. Insert spike aseptically into the bottle through the center target area of the recessed membrane. Allow the fluid to flow and remove air from the tubing before irrigation begins.
Store at 46° to 80°F (8° to 27°C). Avoid excessive heat.
