BD PurPrep™ is a sterile preoperative skin preparation solution that comes with a 26 mL applicator containing 8.3% w/w Povidone-lodine and 72.5% w/w Isopropyl alcohol. The antiseptic solution is flammable and should be kept away from fire or flame. The package should be inspected to check its integrity, or else the solution should not be used. The solution contains alcohol and gives off flammable vapors, so one should not allow the solution to get into hairy areas or use a combustible tool, like a laser, on the solution before it has completely dried on hairless skin (takes a minimum of 3 minutes). Wet hair is flammable. The solution should be used to clean the patient's skin prior to surgery to avoid causing a skin infection. The drug facts indicate that the active ingredients, Isopropyl alcohol and Povidone-iodine, are used for external purposes to prevent skin infections. There are warnings that describe situations when the solution should not be used, such as not using it on children less than two months old, and that the solution should not come in contact with open skin wounds or mucous membranes. The directions for use are specified and reveal that the solution should only be used in a well-ventilated area and that the prep towels should be utilized to absorb and remove excess solution. Finally, the information pertains to the inactive ingredients and concludes with the contact information and manufacturer details.*
