Directions (follow all directions for use)
- at the end of the prep, discard any portion of the solution which is not required to cover the prep area. It is not necessary to use the entire amount available.
- use in well-ventilated area
- do not microwave or heat the solution applicator
- apply to clean, completely dry, residue-free, intact skin
- when hair removal is necessary, use a surgical clipper on the morning of the surgery. If a wet shave is used, thoroughly remove all soap residues.
- with sponge face parallel to the floor, press the cap end of the applicator. Solution will begin to flow into the sponge.
- wait for fluid level to reach indicator line of applicator barrel
- DO NOT SCRUB. Paint a single, uniform application and do not reprep area.
- do not allow solution to pool. Use sponge applicator to absorb excess solution and continue to apply a uniform coating. If solution accidentally gets outside of prep area, remove excess with gauze.
- clean umbilicus with enclosed swabs when applicable. (Moisten swabs by pressing against solution-soaked sponge applicator.)
- tuck prep towels as needed under both sides of the neck to absorb excess solution. Remove towels before draping.
- avoid getting solution into hairy areas. Wet hair is flammable. Hair may take up to 1 hour to dry.
- when prepping skin folds, toes, or fingers, use a sterile-gloved hand to hold skin apart until completely dry. Otherwise, skin may adhere to itself.
After Applying Solution:
- to reduce the risk of fire, wait until solution is completely dry (minimum of 3 minutes on hairless skin; up to 1 hour in hair). Solution will turn from a shiny to a dull appearance on skin alerting the user that the solution is completely dry and no longer flammable.
- do not drape or use ignition source (e.g., cautery, laser)
- check for pooled solution. Use sterile gauze to soak up pooled solution.
Do not blot because it may remove solution from skin.
- remove solution-stained materials. Replace if necessary.
After Solution is Completely Dry:
- to reduce the risk of fire, begin draping and/or using cautery only after solution is completely dry and all solution-stained materials are removed
- if incise drapes are used, apply directly to dry prep. On completion of surgical procedure, removal of incise drape will remove film.
- apply dressing following standard practices

- avoid excessive heat above 40ºC (104ºF)
