A sanitizing apparatus includes a main housing, a dispensing member, a supporting platform, and a sanitizing fluid pouch. the main housing comprises a front wall, a first sidewall, a second sidewall, a rear wall, a bottom wall, and an opening. The front wall, the first sidewall, the second sidewall, the rear wall, the bottom wall of the main housing together form an internal space accessible through the opening of the main housing. The dispensing member is inserted into the internal space through the opening of the main housing. The dispensing member comprises a dispensing mechanism. The sanitizing fluid pouch is filled with a sanitizing fluid and is flexible and deformable. The supporting platform is placed within the dispensing member. The supporting platform comprises a supporting plate on which is seated the sanitizing fluid pouch. The supporting platform further comprises a pressure-applying member.

Technologies for sanitizing medical devices are described. In particular, sanitizing systems, components of sanitizing systems, and methods for sanitizing medical devices such as continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) equipment are described. In embodiments, the sanitizing systems include a sanitizing gas generator and a base including at least one exhaust port and a filter.

The invention relates to method of filling a medical washer/disinfector. A desired pump speed of a circulation pump is determined. A predefined filling level associated with the desired pump speed is identified. Liquid is fed into a washing chamber while the circulation pump is running at less than said desired pump speed. While the liquid is continued to be fed so that the liquid level rises, the pump speed is increased based on the rising liquid level until said desired pump speed is reached. When the pump is running at said desired pump speed, it is detected when the liquid has been filled to the predefined filling level, and upon such detection the feeding of the liquid into the washing chamber is interrupted. Then invention also relates to a method of operating a medical washer/disinfector, a control unit and a medical washer/disinfector.

A robot for automatically preventing epidemics includes: a moving body which is movable along a passage of an interior space of a transportation element; an injection unit which is mounted to the moving body and injects a chemical solution for disinfection toward the seat disposed in the interior space; and an ultraviolet ray irradiation unit which is mounted to a lower end of the moving body and irradiates ultraviolet rays toward a floor of the passage, in which the robot for automatically preventing epidemics automatically performs epidemic prevention work in the interior space.

A sterilization system that includes a sterilization tank having a closed end and an open end and a lid assembly having a chamber facing side opposite an outward facing side. The lid assembly is removably engageable with the sterilization tank at the open end of the sterilization tank thereby forming a sterilization chamber when engaged with the sterilization tank. The sterilization system also includes one or more ozone sources and one or more fans coupled to the chamber facing side of the lid assembly such that the one or more ozone sources and the one or more fans are disposed in the sterilization chamber when the lid assembly is engaged with the sterilization tank and a controller communicatively coupled to the one or more ozone sources and the one or more fans.

The present invention is generally related to an apparatus and method for sanitizing a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device, in particular the invention relates to a system, method and device that attach to a CPAP device and sanitizes all of the parts of the CPAP device, including the inner areas of the hose, reservoir and face mask most prone for bacteria buildup. The device has an ozone operating system and one or more ozone distribution lines that distributes ozone to a CPAP device and a non-permeable bag for sanitizing a CPAP mask.

A decontamination device (1) for decontaminating products in the form of consumer goods and/or consumer good packaging having consumer goods located therein prior to supplying the consumer goods into an isolator, the decontamination device comprising several decontamination chambers (3, 4, 5, 6) each having a closable inlet opening (9) and a closable outlet opening (10), and each comprising application means (7) for applying a decontamination agent, to the decontamination chambers (3, 4, 5, 6), and the decontamination device (1) comprising a distributor chamber (11) disposed upstream of the decontamination chambers (3, 4, 5, 6) and having a supply opening (24) for products to be decontaminated, the distributor chamber (11) comprising distributor means (15) for distributing the products to the different decontamination chambers (3, 4, 5, 6), and the decontamination device (1) comprising a discharge chamber (12) disposed downstream of the decontamination chambers (3, 4, 5, 6) and having a discharge opening (2) and comprising transport means (16) for transporting the decontaminated products out of the decontamination chambers (3, 4, 5, 6), the distributor chamber (11) and/or the discharge chamber (12) being assigned means (17) for reducing a decontamination agent concentration by means of which the decontamination agent is conveyed through a catalytic converter in air circulation mode and/or decontamination agent is displaced by supplying fresh air.

To sterilize a sterilization filter unit with heated steam, minimize the heat load on the sterilization filter unit and extend the service life of the sterilization filter unit. Heated steam is supplied to a sterilization filter unit that sterilizes supplied air, the temperature of the heated steam discharged from the sterilization filter unit is measured at predetermined time intervals, the F value is calculated from the measured temperature, and sterilization of the sterilization filter unit is ended when the F value reaches a target value.

Identification and elimination of micro-organisms in the air, on surfaces and on objects that are stationary or in motion using artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms.

A decontamination system, method, and sterilant kit for a device, such as a lumen device, is depicted. The decontamination system, in some embodiments, includes a device container, a wicking pad, and a sterilant fluid delivery device. The device container, such as a terminal package or a decontamination chamber, defines a device receiving area. The wicking pad is in fluid communication with the device receiving area. The sterilant fluid delivery device is in fluid communication with the wicking pad. The sterilant fluid delivery device is configured to wet the wicking pad with sterilant fluid. The wicking pad is configured to evaporate sterilant fluid into the device receiving area.
