OCIO
Description
Medical device for ocular and periocular use based on distilled waters of echinacea and eyebright, with physiological pH and osmolality.
Sterile saline solution, with physiological pH, for ocular and periocular use.
A valuable aid for removing periocular and ocular secretions in newborns from the very first days of life, in infants and in children (i.e. from 0 to 6 years of age). The product can also be used by children over 6, adolescents, adults and elderly people (i.e. over 65).
Instilling OCIO softens and washes away secretions on the surface of the eye, in the conjunctival fornices and on the eyelid margin.
OCIO has a diluting, decongestant and moisturising action by increasing tear volume.
OCIO contains distilled waters of eyebright and echinacea, which contribute to the wetting effect thanks to their moisturising action.
OCIO is compatible with soft contact lenses.
Directions for use
1. Wash your hands thoroughly.
2. Hold the bottle so that the finger used to dispense (index finger or thumb) is correctly positioned on the dispenser and does not cover the spray hole.
3. Hold the bottle upright and press firmly on the dispenser to spray the solution.
4. When spraying directly into the eye, spray the product from a distance of about 10 cm from the eye.
5. On first use, spray a few times into the air until the product sprays evenly.
6. If stored at a temperature below 15 °C and the product is to be used on children, hold the bottle in your hands for a few minutes to bring it to room temperature, so the child does not feel an unpleasant cold sensation.
Use the product as follows:
- to rinse the periocular area instead of conventional moistened or soaked wipes: spray 1 or 2 sprays of solution onto a sterile gauze and use it immediately to gently clean the area around the eyes, removing any secretions. Avoid rubbing hard; instead soften dried secretions with the soaked gauze until they can be removed. Use a different gauze for each eye;
- to rinse the eye: spray 1 or 2 sprays of product into each eye, open or closed:
a. when spraying with the eye open, the blinking caused by the increased volume of tear fluid allows the product to wash the surface of the eye, removing foreign particles together with the excess fluid;
b. when spraying with the eye closed, the liquid trapped in the eyelid slit comes into contact with the surface of the eye through blinking, increasing the volume of tear fluid and thus allowing the product to wash the surface of the eye, removing foreign particles together with the excess fluid;
- to relieve discomfort or redness: spray 1 or 2 sprays of product into each eye.
