Key Features
-
Preservative-Free: Contains no antimicrobial agents, making it safe for use in sensitive populations, including neonates, when appropriate isotonicity is reached.
-
Flip-Top Convenience: The plastic vial features a user-friendly flip-top cap that protects the sterile stopper until use.
-
Single-Dose Design: Intended for one-time use to ensure maximum sterility; once the vial is entered, any remaining content must be discarded.
-
Chemical Purity: Meets all USP standards for water for injection, ensuring it is free of minerals and organic contaminants that could interfere with drug stability.
Clinical Applications
-
Drug Reconstitution: Used to dissolve lyophilized (freeze-dried) powders into liquid form for injection.
-
Medication Dilution: Used to dilute concentrated liquid medications to the required clinical volume.
-
Pharmaceutic Aid: Acts as a neutral vehicle for medications that require an aqueous delivery system.
⚠️ Contraindications: NOT FOR DIRECT INFUSION. Sterile water is hypotonic and will cause hemolysis (rupture of red blood cells) if injected intravenously without first being made approximately isotonic with a solute (e.g., sodium chloride or the medication itself).
⚠️ Usage Note: This is a Single-Dose Vial. Do not save or reuse any unused portion, as the lack of preservatives allows for rapid bacterial growth once the seal is broken.
⚠️ Visual Inspection: Always inspect the vial before use. The solution should be clear and colorless; do not use if it contains particulate matter or if the seal is compromised.
