Important Warnings
- Do not use if you are allergic to any ingredients in this medicine or if you have a defect in your abdominal wall or cavity that cannot be surgically corrected, or an uncorrectable problem that increases the risk of abdominal infections, or if severe scarring has made your peritoneum unable to function well.
- Always mix the two solutions in the bag by first opening the long seam, then the short SafetyMoon seam, before infusing; infusing unmixed solution can cause stomach pain and other serious side effects.
- Contact your healthcare team immediately if you experience stomach pain, fever, or cloudy/particle-filled drained fluid, as these can be signs of peritonitis (abdominal infection).
- Do not heat the bag in a water bath or microwave; use only a heating plate designed for this purpose.
- Always follow aseptic (sterile) technique and wash your hands thoroughly before changing the solution bag to prevent infection.
