Systems and methods for air sanitization. The system includes a device configured to create aerosolized droplets of an antimicrobial formulation with an average particle size sufficiently small so that the formulation provides at least a 3-log reduction against Staphylococcus aureus or another target microbe within 60 minutes. The antimicrobial formulation includes one or more organic acids (e.g., lactic acid) and optionally one or more diols (e.g., 1,2-hexanediol). Where both are included, the organic acid(s) and diol(s) may have a vapor pressure of at least 0.02 Pa. Where just the organic acid is included, the organic acid has a vapor pressure of at least 0.10 Pa. The formulation may further include a buffer, a surfactant, water, a fragrance, etc. The formulation may be delivered as an aerosol, using a pump sprayer, a mister, a nebulizer, a vaporizer, a cold fogger, a thermal fogger, an ultrasonic dispensing device, an electrostatic sprayer, etc.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provided herein include systems, apparatuses, and methods for utilizing cleaning fixtures. The utilization of cleaning fixtures may be to clean one or more devices and/or device cases. In some embodiments the fixtures may be utilized in a system or apparatus having a plurality of stations, including a pairing station, scanning station, cleaning station, and testing station.

This present invention relates to a portable fogger disinfectant device which is used to disperse a novel disinfecting and sanitizing solution and related propellant to disinfect a room or other enclosed space. The spray material is stored in a pressure-activated cylinder with a nozzle, a sensor and a timer. In one embodiment, the disinfecting and sanitizing solution is comprised of an ethanol, an alkyl comprised of C14, C12, and C16, water as a base for other ingredients, fragrance oils, ethanolamine, a propellant and an ammonium hydroxide.

Provided herein is a skin preparation device having a container having a proximal end, a distal end, and a sidewall therebetween, defining an interior, a disinfecting solution received within the interior, and an applicator arranged at the distal end of the container, the applicator in fluid communication with the interior of the container.

Provided herein is a disinfecting device, including a housing having a proximal end, a distal end having an opening therein, and a sidewall therebetween defining an interior in fluid communication with the opening, one or more flanges arranged at the distal end of the housing, and a disinfecting solution received within the interior, wherein the sidewall includes a deformable portion adjacent the distal end.

The present invention relates to fragrances compositions. The present invention, more specifically, relates to the use of a blend of 1,3-butanediol and a glycerol ketal derivative for fragrance compositions. The present invention also discloses fragrance compositions using such a blend to provide controlled evaporation profile.

A softgel capsule is provided which can be used with a fill composition including a high alcohol content. The softgel capsule includes a shell composition including a film forming polymer and a plasticizer. The fill composition includes at least about 20 wt. % alcohol. The softgel capsule has a weight loss change of less than about 10% after 30 days, 90 days, 6 months, 9 months or 12 months storage at ambient conditions.

A nasal swab kit for cleaning and sanitizing human nose nasal vestibules includes a pair of nasal swab devices, each of the devices having a body from which two spaced apart prongs extend, and each of the prongs having a free end to which a swab is attached. The swabs of a first of the devices are saturated with at least one cleaning ingredient selected from sterile water, glycerin, sodium chloride, sodium benzoate, PEG 60 hydrogenated castor oil, cocamidopropyl betaine and lavender oil. The swabs of a second of the devices are saturated with a sanitizing ingredient such as isopropyl alcohol or mupirocin. The kit includes a first packet inside which the first device is sealed and a second packet inside which the second device is sealed wherein the packets are conjoined at a perforated seam.

A method for preventing both active and passive early degeneration of prosthesis to be contacted with biological fluid is provided.

A kiosk disinfecting system for large walk-up kiosk screens utilizing touchscreens applies a disinfecting fluid to the touchscreen and has a means to move a wiper over the screen to disinfect the touchscreen. A controller may detect the presence of a user and may automatically activate a disinfecting cycle to ensure that the touchscreen is disinfected between users. The disinfecting system may have a disinfecting fluid applicator, such a spray nozzle(s) and a wiper assembly that makes contact with the touchscreen to spread the disinfecting fluid over the touchscreen surface. A wiper may be a wick-wiper that absorbs or wick disinfecting fluid from a reservoir through the wick to the touchscreen. A very small area of the wick may extend out from an applicator opening to reduce the amount of disinfecting fluid that evaporates over time. A disinfection fluid may be non-volatile and may be all natural and food safe.
