About 55AL7023-Each Airlife Unit Dose Sterile Water 3ml
What is 55AL7023-Each Airlife Unit Dose Sterile Water 3ml?
The 55AL7023-Each Airlife Unit Dose Sterile Water 3ml is a medical-grade, single-use vial that delivers exactly three milliliters of sterile, pyrogen-free water. Packaged by AirLife, each vial meets USP <71> standards for sterility and is sealed with a twist-and-pull top that prevents contamination until the moment of use. The clear glass container is designed to resist breakage, and the rubber stopper ensures a hermetic seal until the vial is opened.
The vial is graduated in 0.5 ml increments, allowing clinicians to measure small volumes without additional equipment. The tapered dispensing tip creates a controlled stream, which is useful for nebulizer solutions, tracheal suction rinses, and precise medication reconstitution. Because the water is isotonic, it does not interfere with the osmolarity of inhaled drugs, preserving therapeutic efficacy.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the intended use of the 55AL7023-Each Airlife Unit Dose Sterile Water 3ml?
▾
The vial supplies sterile, pyrogen-free water for diluting inhaled medications, rinsing tracheal suction catheters, and preparing nebulizer solutions. It is also suitable for reconstituting sterile eye drops or as a rinse in wound-care protocols where a small, contamination-free volume is required.
Does the twist-and-pull top require any special tools to open?
▾
No special tools are needed; the top is designed to be opened by hand. A gentle twist followed by a pull releases the seal, exposing the graduated markings and tapered tip. This simplicity reduces preparation time in busy clinical settings and minimizes the risk of accidental needle sticks.
How long can the sterile water be stored after opening?
▾
Once the twist-and-pull seal is broken, the water should be used within 24 hours to maintain sterility, provided it is kept at room temperature and the vial remains closed after each use. Extended storage increases the chance of microbial contamination, so discard any unused portion after a day.
Is the 3 ml volume compatible with standard nebulizer compressors?
▾
Yes, the 3 ml unit dose fits the inlet ports of most home-use nebulizer compressors, which typically accept volumes from 2 to 5 ml. The tapered tip ensures a smooth flow, and the graduated markings let you verify the exact amount before connecting to the device.
Can the sterile water be used for non-medical purposes such as laboratory experiments?
▾
While the water meets medical sterility standards, it can also serve laboratory applications that require contaminant-free fluid, such as calibrating pipettes or preparing control solutions. However, for research that demands trace-element-free water, a specialized laboratory grade may be generally preferred.
