1. 
WHAT EXTRANEAL CLEAR-FLEX IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR 

EXTRANEAL CLEAR-FLEX is a solution for peritoneal
dialysis. The peritoneal cavity is the cavity 
in your abdomen (belly) between your skin and the peritoneum.
The peritoneum is the membrane 
surrounding your internal organs such as your intestines
and liver. The EXTRANEAL CLEAR-FLEX 
solution is placed into the peritoneal cavity where it removes
water and waste products from your 
blood. It also corrects abnormal levels of different blood
components.  

EXTRANEAL CLEAR-FLEX may be prescribed for you if: 
- 
you are an adult with permanent kidney failure
which needs peritoneal dialysis. 
- 
standard glucose peritoneal dialysis solutions alone cannot remove sufficient water. 

2. 
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT EXTRANEAL CLEAR-FLEX 

Your doctor must supervise you the first time you
use this product.
