Reason

Precaution was added to the instructions to inform customers to only use sterile water or normal saline to immerse the bactiseal catheter as other solutions are not  recommended and may cause precipitation and consequent adverse effects (e.g., catheter occlusion, hydrocephalus). The precaution also advised customers to keep the time the bactiseal catheter immersed in sterile water or normal saline to a minimum (i.e., seconds) to reduce the risk of introducing infectious agents.
