COLOR GUARD II
CHARACTERISTICS AND FEATURES:  Color Guard II, like Color Guard I, is unique in the field of embalming chemistry. It too is designed to react with bilirubin, the source of yellow coloring in jaundice cases. As some jaundiced cases have such an intense coloration, Color Guard II has been developed with a deeper color and an altered chemical make up to counter that coloration. Where the jaundice color has become well set in the tissue, even Color Guard II may not be able to totally eliminate the color without a great deal of time for penetration to take place.

HOW TO USE THE FLUID:  To treat the jaundiced case use Color Guard II at 8 to 16 ounces per gallon in a cool, diluted arterial fluid. The diluted arterial fluid should contain 4 to 6 ounces per gallon of a preservative fluid as Color Guard II does not contain any preservatives. The amount to be used will depend on the intensity of the color present and the way the body seems to react to the Color Guard II. Intermittent drainage should be used so that the fluid will distribute thoroughly, have time to react with the pigments, and flush the body as completely as possible. If additional preservation is needed, the concentration of preservative fluid may be increased in the last gallon or two, but at least 2 to 4 ounces of Color Guard II should be used along with it.   ALWAYS BE SURE TO USE COOL WATER WHEN USING COLOR GUARD I AND II.
