Provided herein are portable biocontainment devices for safe and reliable collection of biological samples, including liquid and gas samples. A sample inlet for collecting fluids and/or gases, including oral fluids and expired breath samples, is connected to a container having a climate-controlled container reservoir. One or more sample containers are connected to the sample inlet for collection of samples. The devices are configured for safe transport and handling of samples, while maintaining sample viability, including for relatively long transport periods. Safety components integrated within the device facilitates safe and effective decontamination of contagious samples. In this manner, aborting the sample preservation by decontamination prior to a hazardous release is achieved within the same apparatus.

Catheter tray, packaging system, instruction insert, and associated methods

A tray (100) for accommodating a coiled medical device, such as a catheter assembly (700), includes a first compartment (101), a second compartment (102), and a third compartment (103). The catheter assembly (700) and devices associated with a catheterization procedure, such as syringes (701,702) containing sterile water and lubricating jelly and a specimen container (703) can be disposed within the tray. Printed instructions (1001) can be included with the tray (100). One or more layers of wrap material (2200) can be folded about the tray (100) to enclose the tray (100) and other items, such as an additional layer of wrap material (2701), packaged liquid hand sanitizer (2401), and packaged gloves (2402). When a health care services provider (3101) unfolds the wrap material, the same can be used to create a sterile field beneath a patient (3201).

FOCUSED STERILIZATION AND STERILIZED SUB-ASSEMBLIES FOR ANALYTE MONITORING SYSTEMS

A system includes a sensor applicator, a sensor control device arranged within the sensor applicator and including an electronics housing and a sensor extending from a bottom of the electronics housing, and a cap coupled to one of the sensor applicator and the sensor control device, wherein the cap is removable prior to deploying the sensor control device from the sensor applicator.

MULTIFUNCTIONAL DISPENSER FOR DISPENSING CLEANING-ACTIVE LIQUIDS
20230380639 · 2023-11-30 ·

A multifunctional dispenser for dispensing cleaning-active liquids includes a housing having a first pot-shaped housing part suitable for receiving medical products and, arranged thereon, a second pot-shaped housing part suitable for receiving cleaning-active liquids. The first housing part defines a first central axis, has a loading passage for passing medical products therethrough, and stores a medical product. The second housing part defines a second central axis and stores cleaning-active liquid. The multifunctional dispenser also includes an actuatable liquid dispenser for dispensing cleaning-active liquids defining a dispenser central axis. Actuation of the liquid dispenser delivers a predefined volume or mass of cleaning-active liquid from the second housing part and either introduces it into the first housing part in order to wet the medical product arranged therein or dispenses it to a user. The dispenser central axis, the first central axis, and the second central axis are aligned coaxially with each other.

Method and apparatus for sterilizing bottle

A step of letting a preform made of resin adsorb a sterilizer, a step of sterilizing the preform by heating the preform having adsorbed the sterilizer to a temperature suitable for a blow-molding treatment to activate the sterilizer adsorbed by the preform and a step of shaping the preform into a bottle by blowing aseptic air into the preform in a mold are performed sequentially. According to the above-mentioned steps, the sterilizer does not enter a blow-molding machine.

STERILIZATION PACKAGING METHOD FOR BODY-ATTACHABLE-TYPE BIOMETRIC MONITORING DEVICE
20220249189 · 2022-08-11 ·

The present disclosure relates to a sterilization packaging method for a body-attachable biometric monitoring device. Provided is a sterilization packaging method for a body-attachable biometric monitoring device, the method in which a sterilization packaging process can be performed in a convenient and simple manner, further contamination which can occur during a sterilization process is prevented, damages due to moisture and the like after the packaging is complete are also prevented and thus complete sterilization packaging can be performed, in order to separately perform a sterilization packaging step in two steps, primary packaging is performed for a sterilizable state and then sterilization is performed, secondary packaging is performed to maintain airtightness for a primary packaged article which has been sterilized and thus penetration by an external contaminant and the like during the sterilization and packaging processes is prevented to prevent damages to a biometric monitoring device, a separate adsorbent is positioned outside the primary packaged article and then the secondary packaging is performed and thus functional degradation of the adsorbent during the sterilization process is prevented to enable inner packaging of the adsorbent in an excellent functional state, and a moisture removal function can be performed stably to enable a complete sterilization packaging.
