## Abstract

A multi-chamber package is described including a first and second chamber, the first chamber having a bottom wall and sidewalls defining a cavity, the second chamber having a partially open bottom wall and sidewalls defining a cavity. A first removable seal is positioned over a top surface of the package, fully covering the first chamber and second chamber, and a second seal is positioned over a bottom surface of the partially open floor of the second chamber, fully sealing the second chamber. A method of packaging medical devices is also described.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A package container comprising:
a package body having an open top surface and a bottom surface;
a first chamber protruding from the bottom surface of the package body having sidewalls and a closed chamber floor;
wherein a first cavity is formed by the open top surface of the package body, the sidewalls of the first chamber, and the closed chamber floor of the first chamber;
a second chamber protruding from the bottom surface of the package body and adjacent to the open top surface of the package body, the second chamber having closed sidewalls and an at least partially open chamber floor;
a second cavity comprising the sidewalls of the second chamber and the at least partially open chamber floor;
a first removable webbing disposed over the open top surface of the first cavity and the open top surface of the second cavity; and
a second removable webbing disposed over the at least partially open chamber floor of the second cavity.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The package container of claim 1, wherein a first device is positioned within the first cavity.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The package container of claim 2, wherein the first device comprises a medical device, ampoule, drug vial, IV solution bag, IV solution pouch, rubber stopper, prefilled syringes or medication.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The package container of claim 1, wherein a second device is positioned within the second cavity.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The package container of claim 4, wherein the second device comprises a medical device, ampoule, drug vial, IV solution bag, IV solution pouch, rubber stopper, prefilled syringes or medication.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The package container of claim 1, wherein the first removable webbing has a peel tab.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The package container of claim 1, wherein the first removable webbing is peelable.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The package container of claim 1, wherein the second removable webbing is removable by cutting along the floor of the second cavity.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The package container of claim 1, wherein the cavity of the first chamber has a length larger or equal to a total length of a first device, a width larger or equal to a maximum width of the first device, and a depth larger or equal to a maximum depth of the first device.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The package container of claim 1, wherein the cavity of the second chamber has a length larger or equal to the total length of a second device, a width larger or equal to the maximum width of the second device and a depth larger or equal to a maximum depth of the second device.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The package container of claim 1, wherein the first removable webbing includes a gas permeable section attached to a separate gas-impermeable section.

### Claim 12 (depends on 1)

The package container of claim 1, wherein the second removable webbing includes a gas permeable section attached to a separate gas-impermeable section.

### Claim 13 (depends on 1)

The package container of claim 1, wherein an outer periphery of one or more of the first removable webbing and second removable webbing is a gas permeable section and an inner region surrounded by the outer periphery is a gas-impermeable section.

### Claim 14 (depends on 1)

A method of packaging medical devices, the method comprising:
providing the package container of claim 1,
positioning a first medical device in the first cavity of the first chamber of the package body;
sterilizing the first medical device with a first sterilization process;
positioning the first removable webbing over the top surface of the package body to seal the first cavity;
positioning a second medical device in the second cavity of the package body; and
positioning the second removable webbing over the at least partially open chamber floor of the second chamber to seal the second cavity.

### Claim 15 (depends on 14)

The method of claim 14, further comprising sterilizing the second medical device and the second cavity with a second sterilization process.

### Claim 16 (depends on 15)

The method of claim 15, wherein the first sterilization process and second sterilization process are the same.

### Claim 17 (depends on 15)

The method of claim 15, wherein the first sterilization process is different from the second sterilization process.

### Claim 18 (depends on 14)

The method of claim 14, wherein after sterilizing the first medical device with a first sterilization process, a gas permeable section of the first removable webbing can be sealed or removed, creating a chamber which is gas-impermeable.

### Claim 19 (depends on 14)

The method of claim 14, further comprises sterilizing the second medical device with a second sterilization process.

### Claim 20 (depends on 19)

The method of claim 19, wherein after the second sterilization process, a gas permeable section of the second removable webbing can be sealed or removed, creating a chamber which is gas-impermeable.
