Full prescribing information FDA SPL
🎯 Indications and Usage ▾
INDICATIONS AND USAGE Slushed solution is used to create regional hypothermia in order to reduce and minimize manifestations of warm-temperature ischemia. Temperature probes may be used to determine requirements for replacement or addition of slushed solution.
⏱️ Dosage and Administration ▾
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION The volume of slushed solution required will vary with patient’s age, clinical condition, cooling effect desired and duration of cooling effect desired, according to physician’s instructions.
⛔ Contraindications ▾
CONTRAINDICATIONS None known
⚠️ Warnings ▾
WARNINGS Not for injection. For use in slush preparation for regional hypothermia.
🤒 Adverse Reactions ▾
ADVERSE REACTIONS No serious adverse reactions are known.
🤰 Pregnancy ▾
Pregnancy Teratogenic Effects Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with slushed 0.9% Sodium Chloride Irrigation, USP. It is also not known whether slushed 0.9% Sodium Chloride Irrigation, USP can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity. Slushed 0.9% Sodium Chloride Irrigation, USP should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.
🧒 Pediatric Use ▾
Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness of slushed 0.9% Sodium Chloride Irrigation, USP in pediatric patients have not been established by adequate and well controlled trials; however, the use of electrolyte solutions in the pediatric population is referenced in the medical literature. The warnings, precautions and adverse reactions identified in the label copy should be observed in the pediatric population. Do not administer unless seals of outer dispensing bag are intact.
🧬 Clinical Pharmacology ▾
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY Slushed solution is used to induce regional hypothermia in conditions such as certain open heart and kidney surgical procedures by direct application of slushed solution. The objective of regional hypothermia is to reduce cellular metabolic activity so that body tissues can tolerate a period of total or relative ischemia thereby inhibiting the formation and buildup of destructive autolytic enzymes and anaerobic by-products usually produced and accumulated in ischemic tissues.
📦 How Supplied / Storage and Handling ▾
HOW SUPPLIED/STORAGE AND HANDLING .9% Sodium Chloride Irrigation, USP in the Baxter Sterile Container System is supplied as follows: Code Size (mL) NDC DIN 2B7231 1000 0338-0051-44 786160 Exposure of pharmaceutical products to heat should be minimized. Avoid excessive heat. Avoid freezing except during controlled slushing procedure.
It is recommended that this product be stored at room temperature (25ºC); brief exposure up to 40ºC does not adversely affect this product.
📋 Description ▾
DESCRIPTION 0.9% Sodium Chloride Irrigation, USP in the Baxter Sterile Container System is a sterile, nonpyrogenic, isotonic solution for the preparation of slushed solution. It contains no antimicrobial agents. Composition, osmolarity, pH and ionic concentration are shown in Table 1.
Table 1 Size (mL) Composition (g/L) Osmolarity (mOsmol/L) (calc) pH Ionic Concentration (mEq/L) Sodium Chloride, USP (NaCl) Sodium Chloride 0.9 % Sodium Chloride Irrigation, USP 1000 9 308 5.0 (4.5 to 7.0) 154 154 The Baxter Sterile Container System is designed to provide a slush container with a sterile exterior surface for use within the surgical field. Within the overwrap, the unit is packaged in a dispensing bag which maintains the sterility of this surface. The flexible plastic slush container is fabricated from a specially formulated polyvinyl chloride (PL 146 Plastic).
The amount of water that can permeate from inside the container into the overwrap is insufficient to affect the solution significantly. Solutions in contact with the plastic container can leach out certain of its chemical components in very small amounts within the expiration period, e.g., di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), up to 5 parts per million. However, the safety of the plastic has been confirmed in tests in animals according to USP biological tests for plastic containers as well as by culture toxicity studies.

PRECAUTIONS General Precautions Avoid prolonged direct contact between ice crystals and body tissues. Experience in use of slushed solutions in pediatrics is limited. Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility Studies performed with slushed 0.9% Sodium Chloride Irrigation, USP have not been performed to evaluate carcinogenic potential, mutagenic potential, or effects on fertility.
