Helpful Product Information
Quick Answer
Baxter 0.9% Sodium Chloride for Irrigation is sterile normal saline intended for irrigation. It contains 9g of sodium chloride per litre of water. It is not an intravenous infusion and must not be injected. Always use the exact presentation according to its label and instructions.
Common Questions
Is Baxter Sodium Chloride for Irrigation the same as normal saline?
It contains sodium chloride at the commonly described normal-saline concentration of 0.9% w/v. However, its intended route matters: an irrigation solution is intended for irrigation and must not automatically be substituted for a product specifically authorised for intravenous administration.
Can Baxter Sodium Chloride for Irrigation be injected?
No. Baxter specifically labels its 0.9% Sodium Chloride Irrigation products as not for injection.
Trust & Pharmacist Advice
The most important distinction with this product is between saline formulated and packaged for irrigation and saline authorised for intravenous infusion.
Baxter manufactures both types, but they are separate products. The HPRA currently lists Baxter Holding B.V.'s Sodium Chloride Intravenous Infusion BP 0.9% w/v as an authorised prescription medicine for infusion in Ireland.
Do not use an irrigation solution intravenously or assume that products containing the same concentration of sodium chloride are interchangeable.
Sterility also depends on correct handling. Inspect the container before use and do not use it if damaged, leaking or if the solution is not as expected. Once opened, follow the individual product instructions regarding use and disposal.
Not Suitable For
Do not use:
- For intravenous injection or infusion
- If the container or sterile packaging is damaged
- After the stated expiry date
- If the solution shows unexpected discolouration, cloudiness or particulate matter
- For a purpose not covered by the individual product labelling or instructions
If the solution is being used as part of a clinical procedure, follow the relevant healthcare professional's instructions.
How to Use
Use only for irrigation and only according to the directions for the specific Baxter presentation.
Before use:
- Check the product name and concentration.
- Confirm that the product is labelled for irrigation.
- Check the expiry date.
- Inspect the container and solution.
- Maintain appropriate aseptic handling.

FAQs
1. What is Baxter 0.9% Sodium Chloride for Irrigation?
It is a sterile solution containing 0.9% w/v sodium chloride in water and intended specifically for irrigation. A concentration of 0.9% corresponds to 9g sodium chloride per litre. Baxter's technical information gives sodium and chloride concentrations of 154 mEq/L each for its 0.9% irrigation solution.
2. What is Baxter saline irrigation used for?
It is intended to provide sterile 0.9% sodium chloride solution for appropriate irrigation procedures. The precise intended application can depend on the particular Baxter container and presentation, so customers and healthcare professionals should follow the individual product labelling and instructions rather than assuming that every irrigation presentation has identical uses.
3. Is Baxter 0.9% Sodium Chloride the same as normal saline?
The 0.9% sodium chloride concentration is commonly referred to as normal saline. However, products containing 0.9% sodium chloride are manufactured for different routes and purposes. This product is specifically for irrigation and should not be confused with Baxter's separately authorised 0.9% sodium chloride solution for intravenous infusion.
4. Can Baxter Sodium Chloride for Irrigation be injected?
No. Baxter's 0.9% Sodium Chloride Irrigation products are specifically labelled not for injection. An irrigation solution must not be substituted for an intravenous saline product simply because both contain 0.9% sodium chloride.
5. Is Baxter 0.9% Sodium Chloride for Irrigation sterile?
Yes. Baxter describes its referenced 0.9% Sodium Chloride Irrigation presentations as sterile. Correct storage, handling and use of the container are important for maintaining product integrity, so always inspect the packaging and follow the instructions supplied with the particular presentation.
6. Does Baxter 0.9% Sodium Chloride for Irrigation contain preservatives?
The Baxter irrigation presentations reviewed are listed as containing no preservative. The basic solution contains sodium chloride in water. Because packaging and presentations can vary between markets, always check the label of the exact product supplied before use.
7. How much sodium chloride does 0.9% saline contain?
A 0.9% w/v sodium chloride solution contains 9g sodium chloride per litre. Baxter's published technical information for its irrigation solution gives sodium and chloride concentrations of 154 mEq/L each and an approximate osmolarity of 308 mOsm/L.
8. Can I use Baxter irrigation saline in a nebuliser?
Do not substitute this irrigation product for a saline preparation specifically intended for inhalation or nebulisation. The route and intended purpose of a sterile medical solution matter even where the sodium chloride concentration appears identical. Use only products specifically intended for your required application.
9. Can Baxter irrigation saline be used for contact lenses?
Do not substitute this product for a contact-lens solution unless the exact product labelling specifically permits that use. Contact-lens products are formulated and labelled for ophthalmic/contact-lens applications. Follow the advice of your optometrist, pharmacist or the lens manufacturer.
10. Can Baxter 0.9% Sodium Chloride for Irrigation be reused after opening?
Follow the instructions supplied with the exact Baxter container. Sterility can be compromised once a sterile container has been opened or accessed, so do not store or reuse residual solution unless the specific product instructions expressly permit this.
11. What is the difference between irrigation saline and IV saline?
The concentration may be identical, but the products are intended, packaged and regulated for different routes of administration. Baxter's irrigation saline is labelled not for injection, whereas Baxter's 0.9% Sodium Chloride Intravenous Infusion is separately authorised in Ireland as a solution for infusion. They should not be treated as interchangeable products.
12. What should I check before using Baxter Sodium Chloride for Irrigation?
Check that you have the correct product, concentration and container size for the intended procedure. Confirm the expiry date and inspect the packaging and solution before use. Do not use damaged packaging or an abnormal-looking solution, maintain appropriate hygienic or aseptic handling, and follow the instructions supplied with the exact presentation.
