## Abstract

A disinfectant device including a pouch, the pouch including a first layer of material coupled to a second layer of material and defining a compartment therebetween. At least one dry reactant is retained within the compartment, the at least one dry reactant producing chlorine dioxide gas when exposed to water. A wick is at least partially disposed within the compartment. At least one from the group consisting of the first layer of material and the second layer of material define an array of ports along a periphery of the pouch and an array of fluid conduits, the array of fluid conduits being proximal to the array of ports, offset from the array of ports, in fluid communication with the wick, the compartment, and the array of ports.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A disinfectant device, comprising:
a pouch defining a compartment therein;
at least one dry reactant retained within the compartment, the at least one dry reactant producing chlorine dioxide gas when exposed to water;
a wick at least partially disposed within the compartment; and
the pouch defining an array of ports along a periphery of the pouch and an array of fluid conduits, the array of fluid conduits being:
proximal to the array of ports;
offset from the array of ports; and
in fluid communication with the wick, the compartment, and the array of ports;
wherein each port in the array of ports defines a fluid pathway connecting each port with a corresponding fluid conduit, the fluid pathway defining a width less than at least one from the group consisting of the width each port in the array of ports and the width of each conduit in the array of fluid conduits.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The device of claim 1, wherein the pouch is impermeable to water and permeable to gas.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The device of claim 1, wherein each port in the array of ports is the same size and spaced equidistant from an adjacent port in the array of ports.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The device of claim 1, wherein each conduit in the array of fluid conduits is the same size and spaced equidistant from an adjacent conduit in the array of fluid conduits.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The device of claim 1, wherein the array of fluid conduits includes fewer fluid conduits than ports in the array of ports.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The device of claim 1, wherein each port in the array of ports is longitudinally spaced from an adjacent port in the array of ports.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The device of claim 1, wherein each conduit in the array of fluid conduits is longitudinally spaced from an adjacent conduit in the array of fluid conduits.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The device of claim 1, wherein the wick spans an entirety of the compartment.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The device of claim 1, wherein the fluid pathway defines a width less than the width each port in the array of ports and the width of each conduit in the array of fluid conduits.

### Claim 10

A disinfectant device, comprising:
a pouch defining a compartment therein;
at least one dry reactant retained within the compartment, the at least one dry reactant producing chlorine dioxide gas when exposed to water;
a wick at least partially disposed within the compartment; and
the pouch defining an array of ports along a periphery of the pouch and an array of fluid conduits, the array of fluid conduits being offset from the array of ports and in fluid communication with the wick, the compartment, and the array of ports;
wherein each port in the array of ports defines a fluid pathway connecting each port with a corresponding fluid conduit, the fluid pathway defining a width less than at least one from the group consisting of the width each port in the array of ports and the width of each conduit in the array of fluid conduits.
