A process of producing hydrogen water includes the steps of: cooling water to a temperature where hydrogens atoms of the water molecule expand a space between the hydrogen atoms and contacting the cooled water with hydrogen gas wherein hydrogen atoms of the hydrogen gas are positioned in the space of the expanded hydrogen atoms of the water molecule and then heating the water trapping the hydrogen atoms of the hydrogen gas in the space wherein the hydrogen water has a hydrogen content of from 3 to 10 parts per million. The hydrogen water may be filled into pouches with hydrogen water in the pouch having a hydrogen content of from 1.7 to 4 parts per million.

An electron beam sterilization unit for processing food packaging material, the unit having a frame; at least one electron beam emitter fitted to the frame, along the path of the material for processing, and having a flange for connection to the frame; and a locking device, which is fitted to the frame, and has thrust devices for exerting a lock force on the flange in a given first direction, and for locking the emitter, with respect to the frame, in a given work position, and actuating devices for activating the thrust devices and which are defined by toggle devices.

An in-line sterilization system including a caddie sized and shaped to releasably secure a container and a sterilization system for sterilizing the container using pulsed ultraviolet light. The sterilization system includes a first light source and a second light source positioned within an antechamber and forming a sterilization zone between the first and second light sources, each of the first and second light sources configured to transmit pulsed ultraviolet light into the sterilization zone. The sterilization system includes a transport system having a turntable. The perimeter region of the turntable is arranged to support the caddie upon receipt of the caddie within the antechamber and to move the caddie through the sterilization zone. The caddie and at least the perimeter region of the turntable are transparent to the ultraviolet light. Related systems, devices, compositions, and methods of use are provided.

An aseptic filling machine capable of performing molding and filling at the same time that has a compact facility size, requires a reduced initial investment, requires a reduced running cost because of its simplified process, and ensures an aseptic condition with reliability, and an aseptic filling method therefor. An aseptic filling machine includes a pre-heating sterilizing portion that sterilizes a preform, a heating portion that heats the sterilized preform, a molding and filling portion that fills the heated preform with a sterilized content under high pressure, thereby molding the preform into a bottle and at the same time filling the preform with the content, and a sealing portion that seals the bottle filled with the content. Before the aseptic filling machine starts operating, each portion is sterilized. During operation of the aseptic filling machine, aseptic air is supplied to each portion to maintain the aseptic condition.

A hazardous drug deactivation wipe kit includes a first pouch having a one-way valve coupled to an end thereof, a second pouch, and a third pouch. The first pouch contains a wipe saturated in a hypochlorite solution, the second pouch contains a wipe saturated in thiosulfate solution, and the third pouch contains a wipe saturated in isopropyl alcohol solution. The deactivation wipe kit may be used in a clean room to deactivate most hazardous drugs on a work surface.

A sterilization device has a rod-like body which is capable of being introduced through an aperture into an interior space of containers and which acts upon an inner wall of the containers with radiation. A lifting cam produces a movement in a longitudinal direction, of the containers between the containers and the sterilization device in such a way that the containers are capable of being guided over the rod-like body. A movement device is provided which is capable of producing a relative movement in the longitudinal direction of the containers between the rod-like body and the lifting cam and of altering a relative distance between the lifting cam and the rod-like body.
