A sanitizing device particularly suitable for sanitizing personal use items such as a menstrual cup. The sanitizing device includes top and bottom half members, top and bottom reflective members positioned within the top and bottom half members, respectively, and a planar quartz glass member to ensure that all interior and exterior surfaces of the menstrual cup are adequately exposed to UVC light to achieve sanitization.

A sanitation device includes a housing with a channel extending into the housing and a plurality of openings in the channel. A plurality of light emitting diodes emit light through the openings in the channel. A shield is coupled to the housing and a motion sensor emits and detect light through the shield when activated, such that the shield narrows a field of view of the motion sensor. The sanitation device is positioned near a common touch point with the motion sensor determining when an object is near, and has moved away from, the touch point. The plurality of light emitting diodes are activated to clean the touch point after the object moves away. The sanitation device may further include a status indicator light to provide information regarding the current state of operation of the sanitation device.

A method is provided for vaporized hydrogen peroxide cleaning of a chamber. The method includes altering a temperature of air in the chamber from an initial temperature to a sterilization temperature over a first time period. The method also includes injecting vaporized hydrogen peroxide into air in the chamber to alter a relative humidity of hydrogen peroxide vapor in the chamber to a sterilization level over the first time period. The method also includes maintaining the temperature at the sterilization temperature and the relative humidity at the sterilization level over a second time period. The method also includes reducing the relative humidity from the sterilization level to a safe level over a third time period. In one embodiment, the method is provided for vaporized hydrogen peroxide cleaning of an interior chamber of an incubation container. In other embodiments, the incubation chamber featured in the method is provided.

A method for sterilizing closure elements (3) for packaging containers (1), wherein the closure elements (3) are collected individually by a holding mechanism (25) in the region of a sterile chamber (12) and are placed onto an opening (4) of a filled packaging container (1) and connected to the latter, and wherein the closure elements (3), while being conveyed inside the sterile chamber (12), are treated by means of at least one sterilizing medium (6, 7, 52) during a sterilizing process.

A method of operating a sterilizer includes imaging a load of instruments to obtain an optical image and/or thermal image of the load, and selecting a sterilization cycle to be performed by the sterilizer based on one or more characteristics of the load determined from the image of the load. The characteristics may include the number of instruments, the presence of a diffusion-restricted space, the volume of the load, and the temperature of the load. The method may further include adjusting the sterilization cycle based on the characteristics of the load.

A sterilization and air purification control system and a mounting structure of a waste disposer include a bottom mounting housing and a disposer main machine and a sterilization module. The sterilization module includes an ozone generator driver, a negative oxygen ion generator and an exhaust mechanism. The bottom mounting housing is an accommodating housing and is detachably mounted at a bottom portion of the disposer main machine, an outer edge of the bottom mounting housing is provided with a light strip, the exhaust mechanism is fixedly connected to an inside of one side surface of the bottom mounting housing, and the exhaust mechanism communicates with inner and outer sides of the bottom mounting housing.

An ozone conveyor includes a conveyor belt extending through an elongated enclosure. The conveyor also includes an aqueous ozone section with an aqueous ozone applicator mounted next to the conveyor belt and a gaseous ozone section with a gaseous ozone applicator mounted next to the conveyor belt. One or more exhaust ports are configured to connect to an exhaust system for removing gaseous ozone from the enclosure. An ozone disinfection system includes a dual zone ozone generator and an exhaust system operably coupled with an ozone conveyor. The dual zone ozone generator includes an ozone generator that produces gaseous ozone and an ozone injector for producing aqueous ozone. A method for disinfecting with ozone includes applying aqueous and gaseous ozone to a product and maintaining a net negative air pressure to reduce the likelihood of ozonated air leaks.

A storage compartment for a vehicle includes a body defining a sterilization volume configured to receive an item to be sterilized. The body includes a lower wall, and a side wall extending from the lower wall. A lid is coupled with the at least one of the walls and is configured to selectively close the sterilization volume. A lighting assembly is provided, to direct emitted light into the sterilization volume.

A cleaning and/or disinfecting device, including: a rinsing container having a rinsing chamber, the rinsing container having a loading opening for loading with washware to be cleaned; a rinsing chamber door, by which the loading opening can be closed in a fluid-tight manner, wherein the rinsing chamber door is a lift door configured to be displaceable translationally in a height direction of the rinsing container; and a drip collector arranged below the rinsing container in the height direction, the drip collector being configured to be displaced translationally in a direction running transversely to the height direction of the rinsing container, the drip collector being configured to be transitioned from a non-use position overlapping with the rinsing container to a use position protruding past the rinsing container on a loading opening side and from the use position back to the non-use position.
