- A sterile, nonpyrogenic fluid designed for comprehensive replenishment in a single-dose 1,000mL EXCEL® container
Uses
- Fluid & Electrolyte Replenishment:
- Indicated for both adult and pediatric patients as a primary source of water for hydration and essential electrolytes
- Caloric Supply:
- The 5% Dextrose component provides an immediate source of calories (approximately 170 kcal/L) to support metabolic needs and prevent ketosis
- pH Balancing:
- Contains sodium lactate, which is metabolized to bicarbonate, providing a metabolic alkalinizing effect to help manage acid-base equilibrium
Features
- Advanced EXCEL® Container:
- A biologically inert, flexible plastic bag that is not made with PVC, DEHP, or natural rubber latex, significantly reducing the risk of plasticizer leaching
- Balanced Composition:
- Includes a precise mix of sodium, potassium, calcium, and chloride ions similar to those found in human plasma
- Preservative-Free:
- Contains no bacteriostatic or antimicrobial agents, ensuring high purity for sensitive patients
- Closed System:
- The container does not require external air for administration, which helps prevent contamination during use
Benefits
- Enhanced Patient Safety:
- The elimination of DEHP and PVC is particularly beneficial for vulnerable populations, such as male infants, who are at higher risk from chemical exposure
- Metabolic Support:
- Dextrose helps decrease the loss of body protein and nitrogen while promoting glycogen deposition
- Environmental Responsibility:
- The EXCEL® container is eco-friendly, producing only water and carbon dioxide upon incineration
- Broad Clinical Applicability:
- Safe for use across a wide range of age groups, from pediatric to adult patients, making it a versatile staple in hospital settings
