Fertility Kits with Sterile Syringes and Collection Jars, Method of Sterilization and Use

A method of sterilizing an intracervical insemination (ICI) fertility kit, comprising the steps of:

• 1) sealing each of at least one ICI fertility syringe in a plastic wrap, wherein the plastic wrap is permeable to air and ethylene oxide, and impenetrable to pathogens, and each ICI fertility syringe comprises:
• a) an outer rigid tubular or cylindrical barrel (12) with a curved distal end (14) with a distal opening (16) and a syringe proximal end (18);
• b) a plunger (22) within said barrel, and extending out of the syringe proximal end (18), wherein the plunger is able to slide through the barrel to withdraw into and out of the syringe a semen sample;
• 2) determining a sterilization dose level and duration, and setting a sterilization machine to the dose level, wherein the sterilization machine emits ethylene oxide;
• 3) placing each of the at least one wrapped ICI fertility syringe into the sterilization machine, and exposing to sterilization at the determined dose level and duration;
• and
• 4) removing each of the at least one sterile wrapped ICI fertility syringe from the sterilization machine, and placing into an intracervical insemination (ICI) fertility kit.
