Definition
A sterile, hypertonic saline solution, consisting only of water and sodium chloride (> 0.9% NaCl) intended to be used for the induction of sputum in a patient, via physiological osmotic mechanisms. It is intended to be used with a nebulizer to produce a mist that can be inhaled into the lungs where cells lining the airways are triggered to release water and facilitate restoration of the layer of moisture lining the airways for clearing of mucous. The solution is typically available in a single unit-of-use container. This is a single-use device.
