DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a container for accommodating an infusion or dialysate, or a medical container such as a bag, and a method for producing the same. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for producing an abnormal electrolyte such as alkalosis or acidosis in a patient. TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a liquid without a liquid, a medical container thereof, and a method for producing the same.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Bicarbonate concentration in human plasma is usually 24.
It is about mEq / L. When bicarbonate is directly administered to the body by infusion or indirectly administered by hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis, it is desirable to adjust the bicarbonate concentration of each solution according to the concentration in plasma. However, the infusion or dialysate is filled in a plastic medical container and is usually provided to a hospital in a state of being completely sterilized by high-pressure steam sterilization or the like. Therefore, if bicarbonate is previously prepared in the liquid in the container, the bicarbonate is almost completely decomposed into carbon dioxide gas during high-pressure steam sterilization. Further, even if conventional plastic medical containers are not filled with bicarbonate and subjected to high-pressure steam sterilization, in a diluted solution, bicarbonate is decomposed into carbon dioxide and disappears. For this reason, bicarbonate is not used in the dialysate or the like, and a substitute for it is added in the body. In order to keep the bicarbonate concentration in plasma or the like constant, acetate or lactate is prepared as an alternative to bicarbonate. For example, a peritoneal dialysis solution has the following composition.

The electrolyte concentration (mEq / L) is such that sodium (Na ⁺ ) is in a concentration range of 50 to 150 mEq / L, and calcium (Ca ²⁺ ) is in a concentration range of 0 to 6 mEq / L.
Magnesium (Mg ²⁺ ) in a concentration range of 0 to 3 mEq / L and chlorine (Cl ⁻ ) in a concentration range of 40 to 135 mEq / L, acetate (H ₃ CCOO ⁻ ) or lactate (H
₃ CCH (OH) COO ⁻ ) in a concentration range of 30 to 45 mEq / L, glucose (g / dl) in a concentration range of 1 to 8 w / v%, and an osmotic pressure (mOsm / l) of 300 to 68.
It is in the range of 0 and the pH value is about 5.5. Acetate or lactate produces bicarbonate in the body and serves to supplement the bicarbonate that is lost during dialysis. For this reason, acetate, lactate, and the like are frequently used in dialysates in kidney dialysis and the like.

[0004]

However, when acetate or the like is used as a dialysate for conventional peritoneal dialysis or the like, some patients do not immediately dissolve the acetate or the like in the body.
There is a temporary tendency for acidosis in the patient's body.
In addition, patients with renal sickness are more seriously ill because metabolism is poor from the beginning and the bicarbonate concentration tends to be lower than that of healthy individuals. In addition, if the decomposition of acetate and the like in the body progresses as time progresses after the start of dialysis, alkalosis will occur in reverse. For this reason, acidosis causes vomiting and headache, and in alkalosis with increased bicarbonate levels,
Nausea, somnolence, arrhythmia, etc. are seen. Such a problem,
There are also infusions. In particular, peritoneal dialysis (CAPD)
In the above, since glucose is prepared in the dialysate, the pH of the dialysate in the container is set to about 5.5 in order to avoid deterioration of glucose during high-pressure steam sterilization as much as possible. Therefore, when peritoneal dialysis is performed in the acidic state of such a dialysate,
It can cause abdominal pain and can easily cause infections due to leukocyte damage. Further, in hospitals, it is possible to administer sterile bicarbonate to the solution in the container, but peritoneal dialysis is a treatment at home, and so is not possible.
Further, in the case of infusion, similarly, use of acetate and lactate may similarly cause electrolyte abnormality. In order to solve such inconveniences such as an infusion solution and a dialysate, a medical container using bicarbonate instead of lactic acid has been proposed (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Sho 61-22865). In this method, two agents of a bicarbonate solution and a dissolution solution are aseptically dispensed and stored in separate containers, and a sterile mixing operation is performed at the time of use. JP-A-6-105905 discloses that a bicarbonate solution as a blood alkalizing agent and an electrolyte solution containing calcium ions or magnesium ions are separately contained in a gas-permeable plastic container having at least two chambers. Further, a medical container in which the reducing sugar is accommodated in the same room as the electrolyte solution as necessary, or in a third room separate from the respective rooms, is proposed, and the medical container is a gas barrier. It is packaged in the packaging material of the nature. However, in such medical containers, bicarbonate is present as a solution, so it is difficult to store it for a long period of time, and bicarbonate is easily decomposed to release carbon dioxide gas, which changes the amount of components. Also,
Medical containers divided into a plurality of chambers are easily decomposed by heating during steam sterilization.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to propose a medical container which can maintain a stable bicarbonate concentration, can be stored for a long period of time, and is sufficiently sterilized, and a method for producing the same. Another object of the present invention is to provide a medical container such as an infusion solution, a dialysate, and an organ preservative, which does not cause alkalosis or acidosis and has no electrolyte abnormality, and a method for producing the same.

[0006]

According to the present invention, there is provided a medical container containing an electrolyte solution, wherein the container comprises a flexible resin container, and the container has a plurality of chambers.
The separating wall between the chambers is formed so as to be openable from the outside of the container at the time of use, bicarbonate is isolated and stored in the one chamber in a solid state, and the container is autoclaved. The above object has been achieved by providing a medical container that performs the above. In the medical container according to the present invention, it is preferable that all or a part of the isolation wall is formed of a peel seal portion that can be peeled from the outside of the container. In the medical container according to the present invention, the electrolyte solution in which the isolation wall is opened when used and the bicarbonate is mixed is an infusion solution containing bicarbonate (HCO ₃ ⁻ ) in a concentration range of 4 to 40 mEq / L. is there. In the medical container, the electrolyte solution before mixing of the bicarbonate contains sugar in a concentration range of 5 to 50 w / v%, and has a PH value of 3.0 to 5.5. In the medical container according to the present invention, the electrolyte solution in which the isolation wall is opened at the time of use and the bicarbonate is mixed is formed of bicarbonate (H
CO ₃ ⁻ ) in a concentration range of 4 to 40 mEq / L, and sodium (Na ⁺ ) in a concentration range of 50 to 150 mEq / L.
Chlorine (Cl ^-) include a concentration range of 40~135mEq / L, the liquid penetration pressure is the dialysate is 300~680mOsm / l. In the method for manufacturing a medical container according to the present invention, the medical solution is characterized in that the electrolyte solution and the bicarbonate are housed and sealed in separate chambers, and then steam-sterilized at a temperature of 100 ° C to 135 ° C. The above object has been achieved by providing a method for manufacturing a container for use.

[0007]

In the above medical container, the bicarbonate contains powder,
It is stored in a solid state, such as granules or tablets, and is separated from the electrolyte solution. Therefore, unlike the solution state, the bicarbonate hardly decomposes by generating carbon dioxide gas. In particular, the decomposition is almost suppressed even at a high temperature during the autoclave sterilization. Also, in the medical container described above, the separating wall between the bicarbonate chamber and the electrolyte solution chamber can be opened from outside the container at the time of use, so that the bicarbonate is aseptically mixed with the electrolyte solution. Then, an infusion solution, dialysate or organ preservation solution containing bicarbonate is formed in the container. Examples of the separating wall that can be opened from the outside include a peelable peel seal, a click tip that is formed by a communicating pipe having one end closed and opened by breaking a part of the pipe, a holding means that sandwiches sheets of the separating wall, and the like. In particular, if a separator or the like is formed by a peel seal portion, no member other than the container wall sheet is required for the separation wall, and its manufacture is suitable for mass production. After the opening, the communication opening can be widened, so that the bicarbonate and the electrolyte solution are smoothly mixed. Infusions containing bicarbonate, dialysates,
Alternatively, since the organ preservation solution can maintain the PH value between 5.7 and 7.5, there is no risk of causing the abdominal pain or chills to the user. Further, instead of lactate or acetate, bicarbonate ion is 4 to 40 mEq / L, especially 15 to 3 mEq / L.
Since an infusion solution or the like is prepared at 0 mEq / L, electrolyte abnormality does not occur for the user.

[0008] In the above infusion, sugar may be contained in a nutritional infusion or a high calorie infusion. Sugar has a PH value of 6.0
If it is contained in the above-mentioned high-value electrolyte solution and sterilized by high-pressure steam, it may cause discoloration, deterioration, and the like. However, in the medical container, the sodium carbonate, potassium salt, and the like used for bicarbonate are subtracted from the electrolyte solution to separate the bicarbonate into another chamber, and as a result, the pH of the electrolyte solution is reduced.
The value can be set to 5.5 or less, especially in the range of 5.0 to 3.0. Therefore, even when the medical container is subjected to high-pressure steam sterilization, there is no possibility that the electrolyte solution containing the sugar will be discolored or deteriorated. Although the dialysis solution also contains saccharides, discoloration and deterioration of the electrolyte solution can be prevented as in the case of the infusion agent. In addition, calcium salts and the like which are not easily dissolved once reacted with bicarbonate are also maintained in an acidic state, so that no precipitation or the like occurs during mixing. Thus, they are aseptically mixed for use with the main mother liquor and provided as a dialysate or infusion.

[0009]

[Table 1]

In the medical container 1 configured as described above, the bicarbonate 73 can be stably maintained for a long period of time as shown in Table 1. Then, at the time of its use, as shown in FIG. 3, the separating wall 76 is peeled off from the outside of the container 71, and the accommodating portion 4 and the accommodating portion 75 are communicated to form one chamber. Since the separation wall 76 is a peel seal portion, the electrolyte solution 72 and the bicarbonate 73 can be aseptically mixed with each other aseptically, and the infusion agent 79 containing bicarbonate ions can be provided. Examples of the separating wall that can be opened from the outside include a peelable peel seal, a click tip that is formed by a communicating pipe having one end closed and opened by breaking a part of the pipe, a holding means that sandwiches sheets of the separating wall, and the like. In particular, if the separation or the like is formed by the peel seal portion, it is suitable for mass production without the need for members other than the container 71 wall sheet, and the communication opening after the peel seal portion is opened. Can be widely taken, so that the bicarbonate 73 and the electrolyte solution 72 are smoothly mixed. The PH value of the mixed infusion agent 79 is maintained in the range of 6.0 to 7.5. For this reason, abdominal pain at the time of infusion in an excessively acidic state,
There is no risk of causing vomiting and the like. Further, since the amount of bicarbonate ions in the plasma is maintained at the same level, even when administered to a patient with hepatic disorder, there is no risk of causing electrolyte abnormality such as acidosis.

In the above embodiment, bicarbonate 73 is a sodium salt. In the present invention, other salts such as a potassium salt and a lithium salt may be applied in addition to the sodium salt. In addition, in the accommodation room 75 of the bicarbonate 73, a hydroxide, a carbonate, or the like may coexist in addition to the bicarbonate, if necessary. In the above example, the sugar was glucose. In the present invention, sugars other than glucose may be used. In the above embodiment, the medical container 71 is a container for the hypotonic electrolyte maintenance solution.

A medical container may be used.

Next, a second embodiment of the medical container according to the present invention will be described in detail. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the peritoneal dialysis container 1, which is the medical container of the second embodiment, contains a sugar container and an electrolyte in a plastic container main body 2 and is filled with a peritoneal dialysis solution injected into the peritoneal cavity at the time of use. Be done. The container main body 2 of the container 1 for peritoneal dialysis fluid has a plurality of chambers 5 and 6, and all or a part of a partition wall between the chambers 5 and 6 is peeled off from the outside of the container main body 2 to separate the chambers 5 and 6. The at least one chamber 5 is filled with a bicarbonate 9 while maintaining alkalinity.

The container 1 for peritoneal dialysis according to this embodiment will be described in more detail. The container 1 is a container for peritoneal dialysis containing a dialysate for acute or chronic peritoneal dialysis. The container main body 2 of the container 1 for peritoneal dialysis is formed of an indefinite volume resin container whose wall surface is bent. In this embodiment, specifically, the container body 2 is
The sheet is formed by extruding a mixed composition of linear low-density polyethylene and polypropylene and stretching the sheet, and cutting the sheet into a predetermined size. The cut sheets are stacked on two sheets, and the two sheets are completely fixed and sealed in predetermined four sides by heat welding, and the inside of the fixed seal portion 3 becomes a dialysis fluid filling chamber. In addition to the fixed seal portion 3, the container main body 2 is formed with a peel seal portion 4 that can peel off the sheet inner walls from each other from the outside. Then, the container body 2 is divided into a first filling chamber 5 and a second filling chamber 6 by the peel seal portion 4. Accordingly, the container body 2 is formed with a completely fixed seal portion 3 and a peel seal portion 4. With respect to the formation of such different seal portions, a medical device having a completely fixed seal portion and a peelable seal portion known per se. It can be produced with reference to a method for producing a container for use.

Two rolls of linear low density polyethylene and polypropylene in a ratio of 6: 4 (roll temperature: 175
℃), and this is hot-pressed to a thickness of 200
A sheet having a thickness of 500 μm, a length of 500 mm, and a width of 400 mm is prepared. Next, two resin sheets are overlapped and a predetermined peripheral end thereof is sealed with an impulse sealer in order to form a container.
The sealing conditions are a sealing time of 1.5 seconds and a cooling time of 5 seconds. On the other hand, the peel seal portion 4 presses and seals a section having a width of 10 mm and a length of 50 mm from above and below with a heating die.
Such sealing conditions are between 130 ° C. and 150 ° C.
Placed in the pressed state for seconds. It should be noted that a stopper is provided so that the sealing surface is not completely crushed by the press, and the pressure is adjusted so as not to apply an excessive press pressure. In addition, at the same time as the formation of the fixed seal portion 3, the container body 2 is formed with discharge ports 7, 7 for filling and discharging the dialysate and the like, and a suspension portion 8. Although the discharge port 7 is not described in detail, a luer fitting portion is provided at the tip.

The composition of the electrolyte-free dialysate according to the present invention, which fills the entire container body 2, includes a continuous self-managed dialysate for peritoneal dialysis (CAPD), a dialysate for intermittent peritoneal dialysis (IPD), The composition is slightly different depending on the type of the low Ca-CAPD dialysate and the like, and is used in the following range. - electrolyte concentration ^{(mEq / L) Na + ····} 50~155 K + ···· Ca necessary ^{2+ ···· 0~6 Mg 2+ ···· 0~3 Cl} - ··· · 40-155 acetate or lactate _{^{- ·· 0~40 HCO 3 - ·· 4~40}} · glucose (g / dl) ··· 1~8 · osmolality (mOsm / l) ·· 300~680 · pH · ... 5.7 to 7.5

The bicarbonate in the dialysate is between 4 and 40, and even 2
It is desirable to be in the range of 0 to 30 mEq / L. Below the above range, electrolyte abnormality cannot be sufficiently prevented, and above the above range, alkalosis may occur. Therefore, in this embodiment, since 2 L of the dialysate is stored in the container body 2, sodium bicarbonate as the bicarbonate is used in the range of 0.168 to 6.52 g. Further, by adding the bicarbonate 9, the amount of acetate or lactate is desirably reduced in inverse proportion to the amount of bicarbonate added. For example, if the bicarbonate concentration is 2
Assuming 4 mEq / L, lactate is 0 to 30 mEq / L.
It is desirably in the range of L. The dialysate is pH
Is preferably 5.7 to 7.5, particularly preferably 6.2 to 7.2. When the dialysate is in such a pH range, there is no risk of causing abdominal pain or the like during dialysis.

The dialysate is divided into bicarbonate 9 and mother liquor 10 and filled in container body 2, and bicarbonate 9 is filled in first filling chamber 5 of container body 2. Then, the inside of the first filling chamber 5 is maintained in an alkaline state. That is, the bicarbonate is charged into the first charging chamber 5 in an alkali salt state. As the alkali salt, a part of the salt to be filled in the second filling chamber 6 is allocated. As the salt, a salt that is easily dissolved when bicarbonate is mixed into the mother liquor 10 is preferable, and a sodium salt is preferable as such a salt. Therefore, in this embodiment, the first filling chamber 5 is filled with sodium bicarbonate or sodium carbonate, and the pH is preferably 7 or more, particularly 7.9 to 9.0 (as a 1:30 aqueous solution). PH.). Further, the amount of sodium salt used in the first filling chamber 5 is such that the sodium salt in the mother liquor 10 is subtracted.
The bicarbonate 9 filled in the first filling chamber 5 is filled with a powder such as baking soda based on the Japanese Pharmacopoeia.

The mother liquor 10 is filled in the second filling chamber 6 that occupies most of the container body 2, and the bicarbonate 9 is separated and filled in the first filling chamber 5. It is filled as a composition liquid minus the theoretical amount of salt. Further, the mother liquor 10 filled in the second filling chamber 6 includes:
Before being mixed with the bicarbonate 9, its pH is desirably 5.5 or less, preferably 5.3, more desirably 5.0 or less. Such acidification of the mother liquor 10
This is easily achieved by separating the bicarbonate 9 into the first filling chamber 5 and depriving it of sodium.
Is maintained, even if the mother liquor 10 is heated by high-pressure steam sterilization, there is a very small possibility that glucose and the like in the mother liquor 10 will deteriorate.

The above-mentioned bicarbonate 9 is aseptically filled into the first filling chamber 5 from the sealing opening of the container body 2 to form the peel seal portion 4. The above-mentioned mother liquor 10 is filled. Thereafter, the discharge port 7 is sealed, and the container body 2 is subjected to high-pressure steam sterilization. Thereby, the insides of the first filling chamber 5 and the second filling chamber 6 are sterilized. The high-pressure steam sterilization is performed based on the high-pressure steam sterilization method of the local government. For the high-pressure steam sterilization, a general autoclave is used. For example, after the inside of the autoclave is replaced with an inert gas, a temperature of 100 to 130 ° C. Do with.

In the container 1 for peritoneal dialysis having no abnormality in the electrolyte constructed as described above, the bicarbonate 9 does not decompose in the first filling chamber 5 at the time of sterilization. Will be retained. Further, when the container 1 is stored, the bicarbonate 9 is maintained in the container main body 2 without decomposing, so that the bicarbonate 9 can be provided not only to the hospital but also to the home. When using the container 1 for peritoneal dialysis, the peel seal portion 4 is peeled off from the outside of the container main body 2 to allow the first filling chamber 5 and the second filling chamber 6 to communicate with each other. Then, the mother liquor 10 and the bicarbonate 9 are mixed to form a dialysate in the container body 2. In this case, since calcium and the like in the mother liquor 10 are present in a very low concentration state, there is little possibility of precipitation of calcium carbonate and the like when mixed with the bicarbonate 9. Further, since the bicarbonate 9 exists in an alkaline state, when mixed with the mother liquor 10, it increases the pH of the mother liquor 10, and eventually plays a role of adjusting the pH of the dialysate. Therefore, the aseptically adjusted dialysis solution is provided in the container body 2 even at home.

As shown in FIG. 5, when the peel seal portion 4 is peeled off and applied to the patient 20, the discharge port 7 of the container 1 is used.
The connection pipe 22 is communicated with the inside of the container body 2 via the communication needle 21. The connection tube 22 is connected to a catheter 23,
The catheter 23 is connected to the abdominal cavity 24 of the patient 20.
Thus, the dialysate in the container body 2 flows into the abdominal cavity 24 to perform dialysis. In this case, since the concentration of bicarbonate in the dialysate is not different from the concentration in the body fluid on the patient 20 side,
Bicarbonate does not flow out of bodily fluids into the dialysate to cause acidosis. In addition, by adjusting the concentration of bicarbonate, alkalosis and the like are prevented, and electrolyte abnormality does not occur. In the above embodiment, the discharge port 7 is provided only on the second filling chamber 6 side. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be provided on the first filling chamber 5 side. In the above embodiment, the partition seal between the first filling chamber 5 and the second filling chamber 6 is fixed to the fixed sealing portion 3.
And the peel seal portion 4, but the peel seal portion 4 may be the whole partition seal. In the above embodiment, the first filling chamber 5 is an extremely large chamber, but may be a small chamber as long as a required amount of bicarbonate 5 can be filled.

Test Evaluation The product of this example was evaluated as follows. Note that the product of this example was prepared by filling the first filling chamber 5 of the container body 2 with 5.00 g of sodium bicarbonate powder, and the mother liquor 10 was prepared within the above-described range of the electrolyte and the amount of sugar. 2 liters in two filling chambers
After filling, the peel seal portion 4 is formed by the above-described method.
It was prepared by performing high-pressure steam sterilization at ℃. As a result, the first filling chamber 5 was opened and sodium bicarbonate was quantified based on the Japanese Pharmacopoeia. As a result, the change in the amount of sodium bicarbonate before and after the preparation of the example product was ± 3% by weight.

Next, a third embodiment of the medical container according to the present invention will be described. As shown in FIG. 6, a container 31 for peritoneal dialysis as a medical container of the third embodiment is configured substantially similarly to the container 1 for peritoneal dialysis solution of the second embodiment, but differs in the following points. Parts and configurations similar to those of the second embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals as in FIG. 4 and detailed description thereof is omitted. The container 31 for peritoneal dialysis according to the present embodiment will be described in more detail. The container main body 32 of the container 31 for peritoneal dialysis is made of a resin container having an indefinite volume whose wall surface is bent. Specifically, the container body 32 is manufactured by blow molding linear low-density polyethylene. And the blow molding port 33 is formed as a filling port or a discharging port of the dialysate. In the molding port 33,
A rubber stopper 34 capable of inserting a needle such as a communication needle is provided, and a stopper 35 for the rubber stopper 34 is provided. Molding port 33
Is sealed in a liquid-tight manner with a rubber stopper 34, and the stopper 35 is heat-welded to the forming opening 33 in a ring shape, so that the rubber stopper 34 is
In close contact. The container body 32 has peel seal portions 36, 37, and 38 formed thereon, and the peel seal portion 3
A first filling chamber 39, a second filling chamber 40, and a third filling chamber 41 of the bicarbonate 9 are formed at the boundaries of 6, 27, and 38.
A filling chamber 42 for the mother liquor 10 occupying most of the container body 32 is formed.

The blow molding of the container body 32 eliminates the labor of cutting two sheets and forming a bag by completely sealing the periphery thereof as in the conventional case, and the labor of attaching a discharge member and the like. Above. The rubber plug 34 is
It is an elastic member that seals the molding port 33 in a liquid-tight manner. As long as such an opening can be sealed, a plug made of a thermoplastic elastomer may be used, or a non-corrosive one such as a silicone rubber plug may be used. May be used. Further, since the stopper 35 is heat-welded to the molding opening 33, in order to enhance the weldability,
It is made of the same type of resin molding as the resin of the container body 32.

The peel seal portions 36, 37 and 38 formed on the container main body 32 are formed by heat sealing, and the inner walls can be separated from each other by an operation from outside the container main body 32.
The chambers communicate with each other by such peeling. For the method of forming the peel seal portion, for example, the seal forming method described in JP-A-63-19149 can be referred to. That is,
The first, second, and third filling chambers 39, 40, and 41 are sequentially filled with a predetermined amount of bicarbonate 9 in small portions, and the peel seal portions 39, 40, and 41 that can be formed are made of ceramic. The inner layers are sandwiched by the sandwiching body so that they are in close contact with each other, and in this state, the inner layer is exposed to a heating atmosphere such as high-pressure steam sterilization. As a result, a peel seal portion is formed in the holding portion. The peel seal portion may be formed by a known method other than the above.

Further, the container body 32 is covered with a wrapping material 45, and the wrapping material 45 is formed of a carbon dioxide impervious sheet. The carbon dioxide permeability of such a sheet is 300 (cc)
* mm / cm ² * sec * cmHg * 10 ¹⁰ ) or less, especially 100 (cc * mm / cm ²⁾
* sec * cmHg * 10 ¹⁰ ). In particular, examples of such a sheet resin include vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride, polyamide such as high-density polyethylene, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, and nylon. In the present embodiment, polyethylene terephthalate is used for the packaging material 45, and a deoxidizer 46 for generating carbon dioxide gas is stored in the packaging material 45 so that carbon dioxide gas does not flow from the container body 2.

The thus constructed container 31 for peritoneal dialysis
In this case, even patients with alkalosis to acidosis can be prevented from being damaged by electrolyte abnormality. That is, when peritoneal dialysis is used for a patient with alkalosis, only the peel seal portion 38 is peeled open, the third filling chamber 41 communicates with the mother liquor filling chamber 42, and a small amount of bicarbonate 9 and mother liquor 10
Are used in combination. Further, for a normal patient, the second and third filling chambers 40 and 41 and the mother liquor filling chamber 42 are communicated with each other, and a normal amount of bicarbonate 9 and mother liquor 10 are mixed and applied. Furthermore, for acidosis patients, the first, second and third filling chambers 39, 40, 41 and the mother liquor filling chamber 42
Are mixed, and a large amount of bicarbonate 9 and mother liquor 10 are mixed and used. Thus, the present invention can be appropriately applied to patients with various electrolyte abnormalities. The container body 3
2 is packaged in a package 45 that is impervious to carbon dioxide, and the oxygen scavenger 46 guarantees a considerable long-term storage.

In each of the above examples, a sheet of a kneaded product of linear polyethylene and propylene was used for the resin container. Such a polyolefin-based resin is preferable because it is hardly affected by an electron beam because it has no functional group and does not affect the mother liquor 3. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, low density polyethylene resin,
Highly flexible materials such as high-density polyethylene resin, polypropylene resin, soft polyester resin, chlorinated polyethylene resin, vinyl chloride resin, and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer can be used. The resin sheet may be a multilayer laminate of different resins. In this case, in particular, a resin having high permeability to carbon dioxide may be used for the outer layer or the intermediate layer. Examples of resins having high carbon dioxide gas barrier properties include high-density polyethylene, vinylidene chloride, polyester, nylon, and vinylon. In each of the above examples, a tubular inflation molded product or a blow molded product was used for the resin container. In the present invention, the resin container is
Extrusion moldings, vacuum moldings, injection moldings and the like may be used. In each of the above examples, the bicarbonate 3 was powdered. In the present invention, as long as it is a solid form, it may be in the form of granules, tablets and the like. In each of the above examples, the bicarbonate 3 was a sodium salt. In the present invention, in addition to the sodium salt, the present invention may be applied to a potassium salt, a lithium salt and the like. In each of the above examples, only bicarbonate 3 was contained. In the present invention, in addition to bicarbonate, carbonates and hydroxides may be appropriately added. In the above embodiment, the isolation wall 6 that communicates aseptically was a peel seal portion. Such an externally open isolation wall is particularly desirable in an infusion container. In the present invention, the means that can be opened from the outside may be provided with a known openable means such as a communication pipe that can be broken open such as a click tick or a holding body that separates the chambers.
