Question about Kodak Flexicolor bleach replenisher RA CAT 825 5549

Regarding Kodak Flexicolor C41 beach replenisher RA, CAT 825 5549

The product unit is one cardboard box (case, carton, etc.). Inside the box are two jugs (bottles, containers, etc.).

Each jug contains a green liquid. They both carry the same labels. The cardboard box says "ready to use". Neither jugs nor box are labeled "Part A" or "Part B".

I googled and also navigated through Kodak's site only to arrive at a "Page Not Found" message.

My inclination is to use the contents of the jugs as-is without dilution or mixing. Is this correct?

Any information on this wouldn't be from Eastman Kodak - they are no longer involved with this end of the business - but rather from Kodak Alaris.
You may need to contact them through their general email - Profilm@Kodakalaris.com - to be referred to someone who can answer your question specifically.
If they share another email with you that is colour chemistry specific, it would be nice if you could share it here.
IIRC, a number of the colour chemicals are packaged in two bottles. I think this gives labs the opportunity to order their next batch when they open the second bottle.

is there not wording on the box something like concentrate or similar?

BM, no. It says "ready to use" on both the cardboard box and each of the jugs.

This is the latest rapid bleach (RA) product (with ferric ammonium PDTA) that most people use now. It will bleach color negative film in 1 minute at the usual 100 deg F. It should be mixed with bleach starter: 880ml of the bleach with 120ml of bleach starter (sodium acetate solution) which acts as a pH buffer. Some people use it straight and it will probably work OK but would be a bit more acidic and concentrated than it should be. Kodak says it can be re-used once but most people agree you can use it many times over by replenishing it a bit and adjusting the pH to 4.5 with acetic acid.
