MEMBRANEBLUE

5 mL. Make sure the plunger moves smoothly before use. Prime the syringe prior to use by retracting the plunger before injecting the fluid. Alternatively, twist the plunger into the stopper in a clockwise motion until tight. Once tight, continue turning the plunger in a clockwise motion until the stopper rotates freely within the syringe, two or three rotations.

The syringe is now primed and suitable for injection. , filling the entire vitreous cavity with air, to prevent aqueous dilution of MembraneBlue). MembraneBlue is carefully applied to the retinal membrane using a blunt cannula attached to the MembraneBlue syringe, without allowing the cannula to contact or damage the retina.

Sufficient staining is expected on contact with the membrane. All excess dye should be removed from the vitreous cavity before performing an air-fluid exchange, to prevent unnecessary spreading of the dye. MembraneBlue can also be injected directly in a BSS filled vitreous cavity (instead of injecting under air).

Clinical use demonstrated that, after complete vitreous and posterior hyaloid removal, sufficient staining is achieved after 30 seconds of application under BSS. MembraneBlue is intended to be applied directly on the areas where membranes could be present, staining any portion of the membrane which comes in contact with the dye.

The dye does not penetrate the membrane. , fill the entire vitreous cavity with air). Carefully apply MembraneBlue to epiretinal membranes using a blunt cannula and remove all excess dye. OR Inject MembraneBlue directly in a BSS filled-vitreous cavity.

Wait 30 seconds and remove all excess dye. (2)

15% include discoloration of high water content hydrogen intraocular lenses [see Contraindications] and inadvertent staining of the posterior lens capsule and vitreous face. Staining of the posterior lens capsule or staining of the vitreous face is generally self limited, lasting up to one week.

Most common adverse reactions include discoloration of high water content hydrogen intraocular lenses and inadvertent staining of the posterior lens capsule and vitreous face. gov/medwatch.

15% should be immediately removed from the eye after staining. Priming of the Syringe To make sure the plunger moves smoothly before use, first retract the plunger or twist the plunger in a clockwise motion before injecting the fluid.

15% - Contraindications section. 15% is contraindicated when a non-hydrated (dry state), hydrophilic acrylic intraocular lens (IOL) is planned to be inserted into the eye. The dye may be absorbed by the IOL and stain it. Insertion of a non-hydrated (dry state), hydrophilic acrylic intraocular lens (IOL).

MembraneBlue may be absorbed by the IOL and stain it.
