Sterile cleaning kit

Abstract

A kit for forming a sterile cleaning solution. The kit is comprised of a container, a packet, a first flexible package and a second flexible package. The container contains a liquid and has an opening and a removable cap sealing the opening. The packet contains a pre-measured amount of an active agent. The first flexible package is dimensioned to enclose the container and the packet. The second flexible package is dimensioned to enclose the first flexible package, the container and the packet.

1 . A kit for forming a sterile cleaning solution, comprising: 
 a container containing a liquid, said container having an opening and a removable cap sealing said opening;    a packet containing a pre-measured amount of an active agent;    a first flexible package dimensioned to enclose said container and said packet; and    a second flexible package dimensioned to enclose said first flexible package, said container and said packet.    
   
   
       2 . The kit as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said packet is attached to, yet removable from, the exterior of said container.  
   
   
       3 . The kit as defined in  claim 2 , wherein said packet is attached to said container by an adhesive.  
   
   
       4 . The kit as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said packet has a finger portion and said packet is openable at said finger portion.

       6 . The kit as defined in  claim 5 , wherein said finger portion has a flange and said surface feature is a notch in said flange.  
   
   
       7 . The kit as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said opening is dimensioned to receive said finger portion.  
   
   
       8 . The kit as defined in  claim 4 , wherein said finger portion is dimensioned to fit within said opening.  
   
   
       9 . The kit as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said liquid is water.  
   
   
       10 . The kit as defined in  claim 9 , wherein said liquid is sterile water.  
   
   
       11 . The kit as defined in  claim 10 , wherein said liquid is a sterile grade of water that meets the specification of USP water for injection.  
   
   
       12 . The kit as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said active agent is a disinfectant.  
   
   
       13 . The kit as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said active agent is a sterilant.  
   
   
       14 . The kit as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said active agent is a cleaner.  
   
   
       15 . The kit as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said container is comprised of a polymer.  
   
   
       16 . The kit as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said first flexible package is comprised of a first polymer.  
   
   
       17 . The kit as defined in  claim 16 , wherein said first polymer is clear.  
   
   
       18 . The kit as defined in  claim 16 , wherein said flexible package is comprised of single or multi-layered barrier material comprised from a polymer.  
   
   
       19 . The kit as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said second flexible package is comprised of a second polymer.  
   
   
       20 . The kit as defined in  claim 19 , wherein said second polymer is clear.  
   
   
       21 . The kit as defined in  claim 19 , wherein said second flexible package is comprised of single or multi-layered barrier material comprised from a polymer.  
   
   
       22 . A kit for forming a sterile cleaning solution, comprising: 
 a first container containing a liquid carrier fluid, said container having an opening and a removable cap;    a second container containing an active agent operable to form a cleaning solution when mixed with said liquid carrier; and    at least one flexible package dimensioned to enclose said first and second containers and maintain said container in a sterile condition.    
   
   
       23 . A kit as defined in  claim 22 , wherein said second container is a packet.  
   
   
       24 . A kit as defined in  claim 23 , wherein said packet is attached to said first container.  
   
   
       25 . A kit as defined in  claim 24 , wherein said kit includes a second flexible package dimensioned to enclose said at least one flexible package.  
   
   
       26 . A kit as defined in  claim 25 , wherein said active agent is a liquid disfinfectant.  
   
   
       27 . A kit as defined in  claim 25 , wherein said active agent is a liquid sterilant.  
   
   
       28 . A kit as defined in  claim 25 , wherein said flexible packages are formed of a polymer material.
