A decontamination system, method, and sterilant kit for a device, such as a lumen device, is depicted. The decontamination system, in some embodiments, includes a device container, a wicking pad, and a sterilant fluid delivery device. The device container, such as a terminal package or a decontamination chamber, defines a device receiving area. The wicking pad is in fluid communication with the device receiving area. The sterilant fluid delivery device is in fluid communication with the wicking pad. The sterilant fluid delivery device is configured to wet the wicking pad with sterilant fluid. The wicking pad is configured to evaporate sterilant fluid into the device receiving area.

A device for production and use of a disinfectant. The device may be used to disinfect materials or objects exposed to viruses and/or bacteria. In particular, the device is capable of converting at least one first reagent such as an alcohol and at least one second reagent including an oxidant into an active disinfectant agent. A catalytic system is incorporated into the reaction vessel to produce the active disinfectant as needed for the disinfection process.

A sterile container includes a container pan, a container cover, a closure for closing the sterile container, and a seal or sealing element between the container pan and the container cover. The seal or sealing element is vapor-permeable.

A process and device for the sterilization/disinfection with ozone and it is based on the hydrogen peroxide or other chemicals vapor injection that humidifies the load inside the chamber and transports the ozone through multiple capillaries into the chamber.

Said Ozone sterilization or disinfection device with hydrogen peroxide vapor injection vaporizes and combines hydrogen peroxide or other chemicals with ozone in the capillaries in a vaporizer/mixer that feeds a sterilization/disinfection chamber, said feeding being made with a dose varying; the vaporizer/mixer working with a pressure between 0.0001 mbar and 3000 mbar ABS and heated by an automatic and/or electrical system, or by a micro-wave system at a temperature of 5° C. to 200° C.; the vaporization process being made to a sterilization/disinfection chamber at a pressure between 0.0001 mbar and 3000 mbar ABS is made drop by drop by capillary tubes, which transform the liquid into a pulverized gas combined with ozone.

Method for sterilising a body fluid drainage system for handling a body fluid ex vivo. The body fluid drainage system comprises a chamber. The method comprises the steps providing a container containing a surface protective fluid to be released into the chamber of the body fluid drainage system, subjecting the container to radiation sterilisation, inserting the container into the chamber of the body fluid drainage system, and subjecting the chamber containing the container to gas sterilisation. A body fluid drainage system for handling a body fluid ex vivo. The body fluid drainage system comprises a chamber. The body fluid drainage system further comprises a container containing a surface protective fluid. The container is arranged to release the surface protective fluid into the chamber. The surface protective fluid is sterilised by radiation sterilisation. An outer surface of the container and at least the chamber of the body fluid drainage system is sterilised by gas sterilisation.

A system and method for neutralizing a biological organism is provided. The system includes a first pyrotechnic element. A first element is made from decontamination material, the decontamination material decomposing into a decontamination gas in response to thermal energy from the first pyrotechnic element. a selectively sealable chamber is fluidly coupled to the first element to receive the decontamination gas, the chamber being sized to receive an article.

A method and apparatus for decontaminating substantially enclosed environments by using ultrasonic cavitation of a cleaning fluid to produce a low pressure, low air flow mist that can be activated by a nonthermal plasma actuator to create a cloud of activated hydroxyl species with the capacity to decontaminate articles, open surfaces or substantially enclosed spaces of pathogens, including bacteria, and other pathogenic microorganisms. An automated system and related non-transitory computer medium are also disclosed.
