Multi-chamber bag for parenteral nutrition solutions
A flexible multi-chamber bag for storing and reconstituting parenteral nutrition solutions is disclosed. The flexible multi-chamber bag comprises two first peelably sealing walls between the two polymer films extending from the top edge to the bottom edge and separating the first bag into a first chamber, a second chamber and a third chamber, wherein the first chamber is between the second chamber and the third chamber; and at least one of the two first peelably sealing walls split into a second plurality of second peelably sealing walls and the second plurality of the second sealing walls sealed to the bottom edge to form a fourth chamber.
1. A method of manufacturing an “all-in-one” parenteral nutrition system, the method comprising:
producing a flexible multi-chamber bag, the flexible multi-chamber bag comprising:
a first chamber comprising a first port tube;
a second chamber comprising a second port tube;
a third chamber comprising a third port tube;
a fourth chamber comprising a fourth port tube; and
a fifth chamber comprising a fifth port tube,
wherein the first chamber is between the second chamber and the third chamber;
adding an amino acids solution into the first chamber through the first port tube;
adding a glucose solution into the second chamber through the second port tube;
adding a lipid emulsion into the third chamber through the third port tube;
adding a vitamins solution or emulsion into the fourth chamber through the fourth port tube;
adding a trace elements solution into the fifth chamber through the fifth port tube;
sealing the fourth port tube and the fifth port tube by sealing the flexible multi-chamber bag, and
cutting and removing portions of the flexible multi-chamber bag comprising the fourth port tube and the fifth port tube after the sealing to form the “all-in-one” parenteral nutrition system.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the “all-in-one” parenteral nutrition system comprises a funnel shape near a bottom edge after the portions of the multi-chamber bag are cut and removed.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first port tube remains in the first portion after the portions of the flexible multi-chamber bag comprising the fourth port tube and the fifth port tube are cut and removed.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the producing the multi-chamber bag comprises sealing a top edge, a bottom edge, a left edge, and a right edge with a non-peelable seal.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein producing the multi-chamber bag further comprises sealing a first wall and a second wall in the flexible multi-chamber bag with a peelable seal, wherein the first wall and the second wall separate the flexible multi-chamber bag into the first chamber, the second chamber, and the third chamber.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the first wall splits into a third wall and fourth wall, and wherein the third wall and the fourth wall delimit the fourth chamber.
7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the second wall splits into a fifth wall and sixth wall, and wherein the fifth wall and the sixth wall delimit the fifth chamber.
