What is “Prismasol B22GK 4.0” in a plastic container?
Prismasol B22GK 4.0 is a bicarbonate-based dialysis fluid concentrate used to prepare substitution/dialysis solutions for extracorporeal therapy (commonly in acute kidney failure/CRRT settings). The “plastic container” indicates the product is supplied in a plastic bag/container rather than glass [1].
What does “4.0” refer to?
In Prismasol labeling, the “4.0” typically identifies the concentration/strength of a key electrolyte component in the prepared solution (most often calcium or the formulation strength class). The exact meaning depends on the product’s local specification sheet or label text for your region [1].
Is it the same as the Prismasol solutions used with Prismaflex/CRRT systems?
Prismasol solutions are used with specific CRRT/dialysis systems and are designed to mix with other components per the machine’s fluid instructions. The exact compatibility depends on the particular model and the way your facility prepares the solution [1].
What should you check on the label or package before use?
Before use, confirm the following on the specific container you have:
- Exact product name and strength (“B22GK 4.0”)
- Container type (“plastic container”)
- Lot number and expiry date
- Storage conditions
- Any reconstitution/mixing instructions or required pairing components listed for your therapy mode [1]
How to find the correct datasheet or directions for your exact container
Because “Prismasol B22GK 4.0” and container format can vary by manufacturer/region, the most reliable source is the package insert or product information sheet included with your shipment (or the manufacturer’s product page for that exact SKU and strength) [1].
