The Innovative disinfection and sterilization equipment system can easily kill bacteria and viruses such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhimurium, and new coronavirus in a short time and enhance disinfection efficiency. The present invention has no corrosive or irritating effect and is environmental-friendly that would not cause harm to human bodies and would not corrode metal surfaces.

The present invention relates to a kit comprising an endodontic instrument in the form of an endodontic file and a container with a lower container part, for receiving the working section (3c) of the endodontic instrument, and an upper container part, for receiving the upper axial end region of the instrument, wherein a holder is provided on the upper side of the lower container part, which holder comprises an axial through-opening through which the working section of the instrument is inserted into the lower container part and in which the instrument, in particular the tool shaft of the instrument, is fixed in a clamping manner,
wherein the upper container part is connected with the lower container part in an airtight manner to form the container, and the interior of the container and the instrument are sterile.

A hospital faucet assembly is provided that includes an outlet adapted to direct a flow water stream into a sink. An ozone chamber is provided having a water inlet and a water outlet. A flow control valve is connected to the water inlet, and the water outlet is connected to the faucet armature. A sensor is provided which is adapted to control the flow control valve. An ozone generator is located within the chamber, and when a user activates the sensor, the valve opens allowing more water to enter the chamber and then travel out through the water outlet of the ozone chamber to the faucet armature which dispenses the water flow into the sink. A controller is provided and is connected to the control valve and the sensor. The controller is configured to run an automatic cycle on an occasional basis to flush the sink with ozone-rich water in order flush and/or disinfect water located in a trap of the sink drain, or provide other disinfecting functions.

A mobile system is described that that produces and applies an ozonated liquid to clean and sanitize a variety of articles and surfaces. The mobile system includes an ozonated liquid dispensing unit that forms the ozonated liquid from water and ozone gas.

A method is provided which, by a simple process, separates and recovers pulp fibers from a used absorbent article that contains pulp fibers and a superabsorbent polymer. A used absorbent article is treated with an aqueous solution that contains greater than or equal to 0.05 mass % of at least one kind of terpene selected from the group comprising terpene hydrocarbons, terpene aldehydes, and terpene ketones and that contains a deactivating agent that can deactivate the superabsorbent polymer; the superabsorbent polymer is deactivated, the adhesive that bonds together the constituent materials of the absorbent article is dissolved with the terpene to decompose the absorbent article, the pulp fibers are discharged to outside of the absorbent article, and the pulp fibers are separated from the absorbent article and recovered.

Dispenser (10), for the dispensing of drinking water and/or other beverages, comprising: a cabinet (100); a user interface (112); a dispensing compartment (113) having a support surface (1130) for a container (9) to be filled; at least one nozzle (114) for the dispensing of drinking water and/or other beverages, positioned over said support surface (1130); a washing compartment (1) for said container (9), said washing compartment (1) comprising: a washing device for dispensing one or more washing fluids inside said container (9), a drain (60) for draining one or more washing fluids outside said washing compartment (1), wherein said washing compartment (1) for said container (9) comprises: a basket (11) adapted to contain said container (9) to be washed in an upside down setup, said basket (11) being movable between: a first operating position, wherein said basket (11) is completely inserted inside said washing compartment (1) to enable to wash the container (9) contained therein, and a second operating position, wherein said basket (11) projects, at least partially, from said washing compartment (1) to enable to insert said container (9) to be washed and pull it out once the washing operations are concluded, said washing device being adapted to provide, alternatively, water and water plus ozone when said basket (11) is located in said first operating position.

A system for generating aqueous ozone solution employs a variably controlled ozone generator and at least one pipe assembly for in-line mixing of ozone into water that is supplied to the system. The pipe assembly includes a first flow path for water to flow through. The first flow path includes one or more ozone intake ports that are fluidically coupled to the ozone generator. The pipe assembly further includes a second flow path fluidically coupled in parallel with the first flow path. The second flow path includes a control valve that selectively permits a portion of the water to flow through the second flow path to produce a negative pressure in the first flow path so that ozone is drawn into the first flow path through the one or more ozone intake ports and mixed into the water flowing through the first flow path.

This invention relates to a a process for decontaminating or sterilizing an article contaminated with spores. The process comprises contacting the spores with a liquid sterilant for a sufficient period of time to effect a desired reduction (e.g., at least a 4 log reduction) in the number of spores capable of returning to vegetative growth. The liquid sterilant may comprise water, an antimicrobial agent (e.g., peracetic acid) and a peroxide (e.g., hydrogen peroxide).

Technologies for sanitizing a medical instrument with ozone are described. In particular, systems, methods, and devices for sanitizing a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device are disclosed. The systems and device include an ozone compartment, an ozone operating system and one or more ozone distribution lines that distribute ozone to a continuous positive airway pressure device.
