Finnish translation:Varmista, että steriili säiliö on ehjä ennen sen sisältämän tuotteen käyttöä.
Explanation:
The current translation is understandable, but somewhat different from the original. "Yksilöllinen steriilisuojus" would translate roughly as 'individual sterile cover'. There is no mention of 'individual' in the original; also, container would generally be translated as "säiliö" or "astia" rather than 'suojus' ("cover").

Explanation:
I agree with Pauliina. However, in her translation it is assumed that "before use" refers to using the product in the container, but the phrase could also mean "before using the container", in which case the above translation would be correct.
