Why do they manufacture a solution called that if you aren’t supposed to use it ??
“Why do they manufacture a solution called that if you aren’t supposed to use it ?”
It’s called “Sodim Chlorde” because Sodium Chloride is a real thing, and the manufacturers were trying to be painfully obvious that this wasn’t that thing. Hence the additional label “NOT FOR HUMAN OR ANIMAL USE!”.
However, simulated substances are necessary for use on training dummies, simulated injection pads (basically rubber and latex that is meant to ‘feel’ like real tissue does when you poke a needle into it) and the like. In this case injecting latex pads or rubber dummies with products meant for human use would be incredibly expensive and pointless (and might even accelerate wear on the training aids). So, you buy cheap, latex-friendly non-sterile simulated substances clearly labeled as not for human or animal use.
As an example of a similar situation, when learning how to perform an endotracheal intubation it can be a real pain to get a plastic tube shoved down a rubber dummy’s simulated trachea. So, sometimes, things like PAM cooking spray, lithium grease, or similar are used to grease the medical apparatus. This is fine, as the “patient” in this case is a fake rubber head and torso.
However, if you tried to shove a plastic tube into a human’s lungs with PAM or lithium grease then you might kill the poor sod. On the bright side though, there’s a community college in Alaska willing to hire just the kind of person that would do that.
