A medical apparatus remanufacturing method includes: disassembling a housing including a first housing and a second housing. The first housing can include a boss that is press-fitted to a boss hole of a press-fitted portion of a second housing to form an assembled state in which the first housing and the second housing are assembled to each other. The housing is disassembled by changing a temperature of at least one of the boss or the press-fitted portion to decrease a contact surface pressure between the boss and the boss hole, and removing the boss from the boss hole to release the assembled state.

Methods of the present invention comprise photoinactivation of catalase in combination with low-concentration peroxide solutions and/or ROS generating agents to provide antibacterial effects.

Methods include producing a gelled sanitizer composition, including preparing a hydrating fluid composition including water and one or more of alcohol and peroxide; preparing a hydratable additive; and combining the hydrating fluid composition and the hydratable additive to produce a gelled composition. Methods also include flowing a hydrating liquid composition in an extensional flow regime through an elongated passageway of an extender, wherein the hydrating liquid composition includes water and a C2-C10 solvent, and a flow rate of the hydrating liquid composition and a diameter of the elongated passageway are sufficient to achieve a Reynolds number of 20,000 or greater; and adding a hydratable additive to the hydrating liquid composition in the elongated passageway to produce a mixture comprising the hydratable additive that is at least partially hydrated.

The disclosure provides a casing including a substrate, a transparent fluorescent identifying part, and a transparent antibacterial film. The transparent fluorescent identifying part is disposed on the substrate. The transparent antibacterial film covers the substrate and the transparent fluorescent identifying part. A method of manufacturing the casing is also provided.

An endovascular device for providing at least partial occlusion in a blood vessel in a subject, e.g. for improving Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation. The device comprises a balloon catheter to be inserted in a blood vessel for inflation therein. To increase the flexibility and safety in use of the device and to enable use under controlled and less controlled environments, the device comprises a first interfacing means configured to connect to a first manually operated inflation means and being in fluid communication with a junction; a second interfacing means configured to connect to a second power controlled inflation means and also being in fluid communication with the junction, and an electronic control unit configured to receive the occlusion parameter from the sensor and to provide an instruction set for manually operated inflation or for automatically operated inflation based on the occlusion parameter.

The present disclosure relates to a treatment tool sterilizer with a micro bubble type ozone water supply. The treatment tool sterilizer includes a sterilization tub configured to accommodate an object to be sterilized; a fresh water supply; an ozone water supply including a pressure pump configured to pressurize and transfer fresh water, an ozone generator, a mixer configured to mix fresh water and ozone, and a bubble generator connected to the mixer and configured to pass fresh water and ozone through the bubble generator so as to form micro bubbles; an ultrasonic generator; a drain; a heater mounted on the sterilization tub and configured to apply heat in the sterilization tub; and a controller configured to output a control signal.

A sterilization, disinfection, sanitization, or decontamination system having a chamber defining a region, and a generator for creating a free radical effluent with reactive oxygen, nitrogen, and other species and/or a vaporizer. A closed loop circulating system without a free-radical destroyer is provided for supplying the mixture of free radicals from the generator mixed with the hydrogen peroxide solution in the form of the effluent to the chamber. The system is used in sterilizing, disinfecting, sanitizing, or decontaminating items in the chamber or room and, with a wound chamber, in treating wounds on a body. The wound chamber may be designed to maintain separation from wounds being treated. Various embodiments can control moisture to reduce or avoid unwanted condensation. Some embodiments can be incorporated into an appliance having a closed space, such as a washing machine. Some embodiments may include a residual coating device that deposits a bactericidal coating on sterilized items.

Methods, systems, and apparatuses for producing one or more of photon enhanced oxidizing agents, trioxygen, hydrogen and its ions, oxygen and its ions, ROS and electronically modified oxygen derivatives from oxidizing agents that are exposed to photon emissions at a wavelength in a range of 0.01 nm to 845 nm, wherein wavelengths that photo-dissociate trioxygen may be excluded. The methods, systems and apparatuses enhance the effectiveness of photo-oxidation, photocatalytic, and/or photochemical reactions or a combination of these reactions.
