Abstract
A hazardous drug deactivation wipe kit includes a first pouch having a one-way valve coupled to an end thereof, a second pouch, and a third pouch. The first pouch contains a wipe saturated in a hypochlorite solution, the second pouch contains a wipe saturated in thiosulfate solution, and the third pouch contains a wipe saturated in isopropyl alcohol solution. The deactivation wipe kit may be used in a clean room to deactivate most hazardous drugs on a work surface.
Claims24
A clean room wipe kit, comprising:
- a first discrete flexible pouch having a first discrete compartment containing at least one first wipe saturated in first solution, the first solution being configured to deactivate hazardous drugs;
- a second discrete flexible pouch having a second discrete compartment containing at least one second wipe saturated in a second solution, the second solution being configured to clean, decontaminate, and neutralize the first solution;
- and
- a third discrete flexible pouch having a third discrete compartment containing at least one third wipe saturated in a third solution, the third solution being a disinfectant,
- wherein the clean room wipe kit is configured for use in a controlled environment to deactivate hazardous drugs on a work surface by using the first, second, and third wipes of the first, second, and third flexible pouches, respectively, in sequence.
A clean room wipe kit, comprising:
- a first sealed pouch having a one-way filling valve coupled to an end thereof, the first pouch containing a wipe saturated in first solution, wherein the one-way filling valve is configured to permit the first solution to be filled into the first pouch while preventing the first solution to escape the first pouch;
- and
- a second sealed pouch containing a wipe saturated in second solution,
- wherein the first solution is configured to deactivate hazardous drugs and the second solution is configured to clean, decontaminate, and neutralize the first solution.
A clean room wipe container, comprising:
- a sealed pouch having a one-way filling valve coupled to an end thereof, the pouch having a closed compartment containing a dry wipe, wherein the one-way filling valve is configured to permit a solution to be filled into the closed compartment while preventing the solution from escaping the closed compartment.
A method of preparing a wipe container, comprising the steps of:
- (a) placing a dry wipe in a pouch having a one-way filling valve coupled to an end thereof and closing the pouch to form a closed pouch;
- (b) irradiation sterilizing the closed pouch to form a sterilized closed pouch;
- and
- (c) filling the sterilized closed pouch with a solution via the one-way filing valve to saturate the dry first wipe with the solution.
