Devices having user-interactive guided control interfaces. The devices are for washing, disinfecting and/or sterilizing medical, dental, laboratory and/or pharmaceutical goods. Devices may include sterilizers, washer-disinfectors, autoclaves, and washers. Users are only presented with user interface objects which are appropriate at each step or process state of the guided process. Devices may include a touch screen, a chamber for goods to be processed, and a door to the chamber. Different sets of user interface objects are presented on a display for different respective states of the device.

A method performed by a device for washing, disinfecting and/or sterilizing medical, dental, laboratory and/or pharmaceutical goods in order to guide a user of the device (100) through a process of operating the device (100) is provided. The device (100) comprises at least one display (130) for displaying a predetermined number of graphical interactive user interface objects (310A-420A, 310B-420B) and a chamber (140) for receiving said goods. The device (100) detects a current first process state of the device (100), and indicates on the display (130) a first set of said graphical interactive user interface objects (310A) associated with the detected current first process state visually differentiated from the other graphical interactive user interface objects of said graphical interactive user interface objects (320A-420A, 310B-420B), with which first set of graphical interactive user interface objects (310A) the user interacts in order to cause the process of operating the device (100) to change from the detected current first process state to a second process state. A device (110) for washing, disinfecting and/or sterilizing medical, dental, laboratory and/or pharmaceutical goods configured to guide a user of the device (100) through a process of operating the device (100), and a computer program product for guiding a user of a device (100) for washing, disinfecting and/or sterilizing medical, dental, laboratory and/or pharmaceutical goods through a process of operating the device (100), are also provided.

The present invention relates to a preheated sterilizing box for medical laboratory equipment, comprising a body, a cover hinged to the body through a hinge, and an attachment device for preventing collision between preheated equipment. The cover comprises a cover housing, a UV lamp disposed on the cover and a transparent cover board. The body is separated by the separator and the heat guiding plate into a first chamber for holding preheated sterilizing equipment, a second chamber disposed with temperature control circuitry, a third chamber disposed with a heating material and a fourth chamber disposed with a battery. An insulating layer is disposed on the inside wall of the first chamber and the third chamber, a temperature sensor is embedded in the insulating layer disposed on the inside wall of the first chamber. A number of heat guiding poles and through holes are disposed on the heat guiding plate. The attachment device is disposed on the through holes. The sterilizing box has a sensible structure, having the advantages of simple, convenient to use, well portable, can effectively solve the problem of secondary contamination during preheating and sterilizing of medical laboratory equipment.

Methods and systems for treating a biological fluid with light are disclosed. The methods and systems include determining the light dose being delivered to a biological fluid and adjusting the duration of a treatment or the intensity of light emitted in the event of a detected light source outage.

A method for reducing or removing biofilm on a target tissue or prosthesis surface includes providing a coupling space or antechamber between the operative tip or end of an ultrasonic probe and a target treatment surface, the space or antechamber being fillable with a liquid irrigant to transmit ultrasonic vibration and facilitate extraction of biofilm fragments including potentially pathogenic particles. A second phase of treatment in the case of organic tissue involves the attachment of one or more ultrasonic transducers to a patient over or near a surgical treatment site after surgery is terminated. Each applied ultrasonic transducer is used to vibrate the patient's tissues at the treatment site to disrupt biofilm formation.

An applicator assembly includes at least one ampoule formed of a frangible material and containing liquid to be applied, a body having a proximal end, a distal end, and an interior portion defining a chamber adapted to receive the at least one ampoule, an application member attached to the distal end of the body, an actuator projecting from the body operable to fracture the at least one ampoule, a trench formed in a surface of the body, and a vent disposed through a surface of the trench.

A method comprising of a modular and configurable sanitization system that includes one or more panels and a processing module. The processing module is operable to obtain configuration data pertaining to one or more of: the one or more panels, one or more configurable sanitizing mechanisms, and one or more sanitization subjects, determine one or more sanitization protocols based on the configuration data, generate one or more sanitizing mechanism configuration instructions to configure the one or more configurable sanitizing mechanisms based on the one or more sanitization protocols and in accordance with the one or more sanitization subjects, generate one or more panel configuration instructions to configure the one or more panels based on the one or more sanitization protocols and in accordance with the one or more sanitization subjects, and configure the one or more configurable sanitizing mechanisms and the one or more panels.

A method for detaching, removing or otherwise disrupting bacteria or biofilm by applying with pressure an antimicrobial wash. The antimicrobial wash contains a biguanide compound or mixtures thereof.

A multi-chamber package is described including a first and second chamber, the first chamber having a bottom wall and sidewalls defining a cavity, the second chamber having a partially open bottom wall and sidewalls defining a cavity. A first removable seal is positioned over a top surface of the package, fully covering the first chamber and second chamber, and a second seal is positioned over a bottom surface of the partially open floor of the second chamber, fully sealing the second chamber. A method of packaging medical devices is also described.

The invention relates to a viral inactivated biological liquid or dry mixture and to its preparation. Principally, the invention relates, but is not limited, to a mixture derived from a platelet source.
