    Abstract: A load balancing arm for a medical device support system includes a proximal hub, a support arm, first and second springs, and a link. The link has a proximal end pivotably mounted to a link bearing element for pivotable movement about a link pivot axis, and a distal end pivotably mounted to a distal end of the first spring and a proximal end of the second spring. The link and first and second springs are configured such that the biasing forces exerted by the first and second springs are transmitted through the link to the link bearing element thereby to generate a moment about a main pivot axis of a proximal hub that counters a moment generated by a medical device load at a distal end of the support arm.

    Abstract: Various examples disclosed relate to a device for use in a disinfection process. The device can include, for example, a sampling assembly capable of a first position and a second position, wherein the sampling assembly is configured to be used inside a sterilization system. The sampling assembly can include a top portion, a bottom portion, at least one seal therebetween such that the top portion and the bottom portion form an airtight compartment when in the first position, a central pin running through the top portion and bottom portion, and an actuator configured to move the sampling assembly between the first position and the second position along the central pin during a portion of the disinfection process, such that the sampling assembly can collect a sample of atmosphere within the disinfection system.

    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: A non-aspirating dispenser containing a gel therein for delivery to a desired surface such as a medical article. More specifically, a gel that is dispensed in the form of droplets that are free of air or a gas therein and with reduced drift potential. The dispenser has a container having a flexible bag therein enclosing a thixotropic gel, and has a pressurized gas that is capable of exerting pressure on the bag and forcing the gel out of said bag in a steady stream upon pressing an actuator that is operatively connected to an ejection valve. The bag is free of propellants, and does not produce an aerosol. The gel is thixotropic and is utilized for keeping medical instruments moist in order to prevent soils present thereon from drying out, which can make reprocessing of medical instruments more difficult and less effective. The dispenser implemented at a point of use for transport or prior to delayed reprocessing in the reprocessing area.

    Abstract: A medical device processor includes a chemical dosing system including a supply tube extending along a length between a first and second end. A pump is coupled to the supply tube downstream from the first end and configured to pump fluid in the tube. A bubble detector is coupled to the supply tube downstream from the first end, wherein an inner volume of the supply tube between the bubble detector and the second end is equal to or greater than a volume of a dose of liquid to be pumped from the chemical dosing system in a given dose. A controller is configured to run the pump for a predetermined period of time; detect the presence of one or more bubbles in the supply line based on measurement by the bubble detector; upon detection, continue to run the pump for the remainder of the predetermined time; and issue a notification.
