Embodiments disclosed herein are directed to systems and methods for protecting needleless injector units from one or more contaminants. In an embodiment, a needleless injector system includes a needleless injector unit and an auxiliary unit. The needleless injector unit has a nozzle portion and a supply of one or more substances for injection. The needleless injector unit is configured to inject the one or more substances from the nozzle portion through a skin surface of a subject. The auxiliary unit is coupleable to the needleless injector unit. The auxiliary unit includes a source of one or more protectants and is configured to emit the one or more protectants in a region between the nozzle portion of the needleless injector unit and the skin surface of the subject.

The present invention relates to a method and device for sterilizing parisons made of a thermoplastic material that are intended for producing blow-molded containers. During the sterilizing process a sterilizing agent is introduced into an interior of the parison by an applicator. At least one gas is supplied to the applicator via at least one supply element, at least sections of which are arranged in a horizontal direction next to a transport path of the applicator. The supply element comprises at least one outlet opening facing towards the applicator. At least one pressure-applying element is arranged between the applicator and the supply element and is resiliently clamped between the applicator and the supply element.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to “wet” transcatheter prosthetic heart valve or other implant packaging and assemblies in which a prosthetic heart valve or other implant is loaded into a first portion of a delivery device and positioned within a container in which sterilizing fluid is retained to sterilize inside of the container as well as provide moisture to prevent the implant from drying out. The disclosure also relates to methods of sterilizing the disclosed assemblies. Some disclosed methods include at least two sterilizing steps and adjustment of a shaft seal or formation of multiple seals maintaining sterilizing fluid within the container so that areas underneath the shaft seal(s) can also be sterilized.

A dispenser for, e.g., hand sanitizer or perfume mounted within a rear view mirror of a vehicle. The dispenser has a manual or automated mechanism that expels a small amount of hand sanitizer at a time, preferably when a person places his or her hand under the mirror. The dispenser includes a replaceable reservoir, dispensing mechanism, power source and control circuitry within a cavity in the mirror. A front mirror panel may be hinged to enable access to the operational components.

A communication hub provides communication between a number of medical device processing components within a network. A user may access the communication hub via a user device such as a smartphone or computer and monitor and manage configurations and information relating to the medical device processing components. Features include the ability to view current status of medical device processing components in order to identify a device that is available for current use, to receive notifications of failed or completed tasks on devices, to disable or enable devices remotely, to view statistics and data visualizations of the performance and use of devices, and other similar features.
