A device for disinfection of a medical injection port is provided. The device includes a capping portion having an inner surface, a hollow portion having an inner surface, a proximal opening, and a distal opening, a connector coupling the capping portion of the device to the hollow portion thereof, and a disinfecting absorbent material disposed inside the capping portion of the device. The connector permits movement of the capping portion between a fully-seated position on the hollow portion of the device, and a position apart from the proximal opening thereof to permit ingress to the medical injection port.

A sterilizing device includes a pipe having an inlet and an outlet and allowing fluid to move therethrough and a light source provided on one side of the pipe and providing light to the fluid. At least a portion of the pipe is provided in a spiral shape and the inlet and/or the outlet are arranged in a light emitting region.

A device for disinfecting surfaces is provided. One embodiment has a plurality of UV light (energy) emitting LEDs residing in an enclosure, wherein emitted UV energy passes through a lens onto a surface being disinfected; a heat dissipator that receives heat generated by the UV emitting LEDs; and a fluid moving device. The enclosure has a fluid heating passageway that is in fluid contact with the heat dissipator, has a transfer passageway with a distal end that is fluidly coupled to a proximal end of the fluid heating passageway, and has a return passageway that is fluidly coupled to a proximal end of the transfer passageway and that is fluidly coupled to a distal end of the fluid heating passageway. During operation, the fluid moving device operates to circulate a cooling fluid through the fluid heating passageway, the transfer passageway, and the return passageway. Heat transfers to the ambient environment.

A method of facilitating sanitizing interior spaces of an aircraft using a pre-conditioned air (PCA) system. The method comprises cutting an opening in a duct wall of a pre-conditioned air (PCA) supply duct of the PCA system. Further, the method comprises installing a device in the PCA supply duct around the opening, coupling an inlet opening of the device with a device outlet port of a sanitizing device after the installing, wherein a sanitizing agent generator of the sanitizing device generates a sanitizing agent for transferring the sanitizing agent to the inlet opening through the device outlet port. Further, the method comprises injecting the sanitizing agent into the PCA supply duct from an outlet opening of the device based on the transferring. Further, the sanitizing agent mixes with the PCA based on the injecting. Further, the sanitizing agent is supplied to the interior space along with the PCA.

A microwave-plasma disinfector (Origreen) with a microwave source with multi-feed points and variable output power. It also has a low-temperature atmospheric-pressure plasma source. This versatile microwave-plasma disinfector has the ability to decontaminate heat-sensitive materials by subjecting them to a microwave-assisted plasma with controlled microwave power. This dual-action, at suitable non-destructive microwave and plasma doses, sterilizes the equipment at a lower temperature with higher effectiveness than either plasma or microwaves alone

An irradiation system is provided which comprises a cabinet housing one or more X-ray tubes providing an irradiation source for a biomass contained within a cylindrical container arranged on a rotating device. The X-ray tubes generate directional X-ray beams and are provided in ultra-close proximity to the container, and the X-ray tubes can be configured to traverse the container. The rotational movement and traversal during the irradiation process ensure a more even irradiation of the entire biomass in the container.
