Prepackaged collections of the necessary devices and supplies (either custom or standard) intended for use on infants (e.g., babies, toddlers). Items in these kits usually include a baby carrying frame with adjustable straps to hold the baby and a transparent hood; canister filters that absorb and/or neutralize the contamination agents; and a feeding system with a bottle; some kits include a battery-powered blower to circulate the air in and out of the hood. The kits may be supplied in supporting trays (i.e., procedure trays) consisting of a flat-bottomed receptacle with a border around the periphery supporting all the instruments and supplies needed for the procedure; the trays are usually covered or wrapped. Infant chemical/ biological agent emergency procedure kits and trays are provided for long-term storage (e.g., 10 years) in a ready-to-use condition; they are intended for emergency teams, rescuers, and/or the general population.
