SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND DEVICES FOR STERILIZING ANTISEPTIC SOLUTIONS

A method for sterilizing an antiseptic solution includes providing a plurality of containers containing the antiseptic solution, the antiseptic solution having an initial purity, selecting a sterilization temperature from about 85C to about 135C and an sterilization time from about 1 minute to about 19 hours, heating the antiseptic solution in the plurality of containers to the selected sterilization temperature, maintaining the temperature for the selected sterilization time, and terminating the heating of the antiseptic solution when the sterilization time expires. After terminating the heating, the antiseptic solution in the plurality of containers has a post-sterilization purity. The sterilization temperature and the sterilization time are selected such that after terminating the heating, the antiseptic solution is sterile and have a post-sterilization purity of at least about 92% and the percentage point change in purity from the initial purity to the post-sterilization purity is at most about 5%.
