An apparatus for coating an injection medical device includes an inlet tank fillable with a coating

substance, a delivery nozzle configured to deliver the coating substance to an injection medical device, and a supply assembly interposed between, and in fluid communication with, the inlet tank and the delivery nozzle, the supply assembly being configured to withdraw the coating substance from the inlet tank and to supply it to the delivery nozzle. The supply assembly includes at least one sterilisation filter configured to filter the coating substance withdrawn from the inlet tank. A method of for coating an injection medical device is also disclosed.

A valve arrangement for reducing the migration of one or more viruses through a filter when feed flow to the filter is resumed after a reduction in the feed flow. The valve arrangement includes an inlet line having an inlet port to be connected to a supply of product and an outlet port to be connected to an inlet of the filter, a pump, an outlet line, and a recirculation system. The recirculation system includes a recirculation line connecting the outlet line and the inlet line, and a check valve disposed along the recirculation line. When the check valve detects the feed flow reduction, a recirculation loop is created such that product is continuously recirculated through the filter during the reduction, thereby ensuring continuous fluid flow through the filter even during the reduction.

A method for charging and an underwater station that may include a platform and a first contactless charging element for charging a pool cleaning robot mounted on the platform; wherein when the underwater station is positioned in a pool the first contactless charging element is spaced apart from the bottom and sidewalls of the pool.

A sterilizing device includes a housing having an opening in at least one direction thereof. The housing also has a hollow portion configured to allow insertion of an object (target) including part of a human body from the opening into the hollow portion. The sterilizing device also includes at least one air blower unit configured to send a flow of air toward an interior of the hollow portion, and at least one ultraviolet light emitting unit configured to emit ultraviolet light toward the interior of the hollow portion. The ultraviolet light emitted from each ultraviolet light emitting unit includes at least part of ultraviolet light having a wavelength between 190 nm and 230 nm and at least part of ultraviolet light having a wavelength between 230 nm and 237 nm, but does not include ultraviolet light having a wavelength below 190 nm and beyond 237 nm.

A sterilization process challenge device configured to test the efficacy of a sterilization process includes a tubular body for containing at least one sterilization indicator and a filter assembly including at least one filter member. The only flow path into the interior of the tubular body containing at least one sterilization indicator is provided through the filter assembly to control and restrict flow of a gaseous sterilization medium from an external environment.

One aspect of the present disclosure can include a system for dispensing purified and sterilized fluid and/or solution. The delivery system can include a fluid reservoir, a sterilization and/or purification mechanism, a solution production mechanism, a dispensing mechanism, and a controller. The system can dispense the purified and sterilized fluid and/or solution on-demand.

Disclosed is an integrated intracavity gas circulation treatment device for a laparoscopic surgery, includes a filtering unit and a driving pump unit. The filtering unit is provided with an air inlet channel, the driving pump unit is installed in the filtering unit, and communicated with the filtering unit; and the driving pump unit is provided with an air exhausting channel. The device is capable of realizing integrated installation of the filtering unit and the driving pump unit, skillful in design, compact in structure, the device is simply and conveniently used and operated by a medical worker. In the whole surgery process, stability of an air pressure in the abdominal cavity is high, an effect of gas circulation filtering is good, surgery efficiency and quality are improved, and it is guaranteed that a contaminated and non-sterilizable work piece may not be repeatedly used, so real zero infection is achieved.

The present invention relates to a method for using lectins that bind to pathogens having high mannose surface glycoproteins or fragments thereof which contain high mannose glycoproteins, to remove them from infected blood or plasma in an extracorporeal setting. Accordingly, the present invention provides a method for reducing viral load in an individual comprising the steps of obtaining blood or plasma from the individual, passing the blood or plasma through a porous hollow fiber membrane wherein lectin molecules are immobilized within the porous exterior portion of the membrane, collecting pass-through blood or plasma and reinfusing the pass-through blood or plasma into the individual.

The present invention provides a method for treating a solution contaminated with porcine circovirus, comprising the steps of: adjusting a pH of a solution contaminated with porcine circovirus to range from 3.0 to 7.0; and treating the pH-adjusted solution with a filtration membrane having an LRV for bacteriophage PP7 of 4 or more.

A holding clip is designed to be fixed in a holding contour of a housing part of a sterile container and/or to be removed from the holding contour without tools. The holding clip has at least one at least partly spring-elastic clamping section designed to provide a clamping force to secure the identifying element and at least two holding sections that adjoin the clamping section on both sides and that are designed to engage into an undercut of the holding contour in a form-fitting and/or force-fitting manner. A sterile container can include such a holding clip.
