Container containing at least two solids and use thereof

Abstract

This invention relates to a container having at least one inlet and/or outlet and containing at least two different solids arranged in layers as well as the use of said container for preparing a dialysate. In particular, a flexible bag is described, having three layers of different solids, where the middle layer consists of a solid which is compatible with the two adjacent layers and thus forms a separating layer between the two other layers. The layers are secured in place during shipping by vacuum packing.

1 . A combination container and composition for preparing a dialysate solution suitable for use in the treatment of kidney insufficiency, which comprises a container having at least one inlet or outlet and at least two different solids arranged in layers, each said solid being in a powder, granular or crystalline form, being compatible and water-soluble, and being a component suitable for a dialysate solution used in the treatment of kidney insufficiency. 
   
   
       2 . The combination container and composition according to  claim 1 , wherein the water-soluble solids are selected from the group consisting of electrolytes, acids, sodium chloride, sodium bicarbonate and glucose. 
   
   
       3 . The combination container and composition according to  claim 1 , wherein the interior of the container has unnecessary liquids and gases removed. 
   
   
       4 . The combination container and composition according to  claim 3 , wherein the container is vacuum sealed. 
   
   
       5 . The combination container and composition according to  claim 4 , characterized in that wherein the container is flexible. 
   
   
       6 . The combination container and composition according to  claim 5 , wherein the container is a flexible bag formed of a polymer.
