Aspects of the disclosure relate to storage assemblies including at least part of a delivery device and an implant. The storage assemblies are configured to trap sterilizing ethylene oxide gas using its high water solubility and converting the escaped ethylene oxide to less detrimental ethylene glycol and ethylene chlorohydrin to protect the implant from damage. In one example, the storage assembly includes an inner container housing the implant and sterilizing fluid and an outer container positioned over the inner container, wherein the outer container is at least partially filled with aqueous water. The implant may be a prosthetic heart valve. Aspects of the disclosure also relate to methods of sterilizing the storage assemblies of the disclosure.

A purification device for cleaning one or more surfaces of a vehicle, the purification device configured to apply a purification process onto the one or more surfaces of the vehicle, the purification device includes a heating device for increasing a temperature of the surface.

An improved stethoscope sanitization device. A wall-mounted cabinet having a removable sanitization pad within may be opened to expose a stethoscope to the sanitization pad. By rubbing the stethoscope over the sanitization pad, the stethoscope may be sterilized by applying it to the sanitization pad. Additionally, a release mechanism on the base of the sanitization device may be actuated to allow for replacement of the sanitization pad.
