Abstract:
A mattress cleaning system receives a mattress in a tank of wash liquid so that the mattress is fully submerged. A pressure applicator, for example a mechanical structure or a jetted flow of wash fluid, applies a cyclical compressive force to the sleeping surface of the mattress while the mattress is fully submerged so as to cause flushing of the wash liquid outwardly of the mattress through at least the sleeping surface of the mattress. When using a barrier to isolate one of the surfaces of the mattress on a first side of the barrier from remaining surfaces of the mattress on a second side of the barrier, use of a blower to create an air pressure differential between opposing sides of the barrier causes migration of the wash liquid through the mattress from the isolated surface of the mattress to the remaining surfaces for drying the mattress.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Desinfektion von Flüssigkeitskreisläufen (14, 15) in einem Gerät (1), insbesondere von Wasserkreisläufen (14, 15) in einem Hypothermiegerät (1), bei dem die Flüssigkeit (19) des Flüssigkeitskreislaufs (14, 15) zur Desinfektion zumindest zeitweise durch eine Desinfektionseinrichtung (5) geleitet wird, die eine Einrichtung (2) zur Bereitstellung eines Desinfektionsfluids (18) aufweist, das Desinfektionsfluid (18) der durchgeleiteten Flüssigkeit (19) zugesetzt und die Flüssigkeit (19) in einer Deaktivierungseinheit (3) durch das Desinfektionsfluid (18) desinfinziert wird, die desinfizierte Flüssigkeit (19) anschließend in eine Eliminierungseinheit (4) für das Eliminieren des Desinfektionsfluids (18) geleitet wird, in der die desinfizierte Flüssigkeit (19) so lange verbleibt oder welche die desinfizierte Flüssigkeit (19) so oft durchtritt, bis das Desinfektionsfluid (18) durch die Eliminierungseinheit (4) vollständig aus der desinfizierten Flüssigkeit (19) eliminiert ist, wobei mindestens eine Detektionseinrichtung (11) den Grad der Elimination des Desinfektionsfluids (18) aus der desinfizierten Flüssigkeit (19) laufend überprüft, und erst nach Feststellen der vollständigen Elimination des Desinfektionsfluids (18) die desinfizierte Flüssigkeit (19) wieder in den Flüssigkeitskreislauf (14, 15) des Geräts (1) zurück geleitet wird. Ebenfalls wird eine entsprechende Desinfektionseinrichtung (5) angegeben.

Abstract:
Improved fluid sanitization assemblies are provided. More particularly, the present disclosure provides improved fluid/water sanitization assemblies utilizing UV light and/or ozone. The UV light and/or ozone can be generated via light emitting diodes ("LEDs") (e.g., via UV LEDs). In certain embodiments, by emitting light at a wavelength of about 250 nm to about 270 nm (e.g., 253.7 nm), the fluid sanitization assemblies thereby disinfect and/or sanitize fluid/water. The present disclosure provides for a fluid sanitization assembly including a pressure vessel configured and dimensioned to house fluid; a plurality of light emitting diodes ("LEDs") mounted with respect to the pressure vessel, each LED mounted with respect to the pressure vessel via an optic member; wherein each optic member is configured and dimensioned to focus and direct UV light emitted from its associated LED to the fluid within the pressure vessel for sanitization purposes.
Abstract:
A dissolved ozone delivery system comprises a generator for producing gaseous ozone, a bottle for holding a liquid suitable for receiving the gaseous ozone, flow conduits for delivering the gaseous ozone to the bottle and dissolving the ozone into the liquid to form an ozonated liquid, and a multicomponent bottle closure sealing device. The multicomponent bottle closure sealing has several discrete gas flow passageways for channeling the ozone gas into the bottle, venting undissolved gas and delivering the ozonated liquid to an exterior surface for decontamination thereof or medical instruments for sterilization or use in medical or dental procedures.
Abstract:
A stand-alone apparatus to deliver a sterile, filled syringe to a user. The syringe dispenser (100) includes a controller to accept input from the user and to convert the input into an electrical control signal. The syringe dispenser (100) also includes an ozone generator (120) coupled to the controller. The ozone generator (120) generates ozone on demand according to the input from the user. The user may input a parameter for a concentration and/or a volume of ozone. Additionally, the syringe dispenser (100) includes a syringe preparation station (130) coupled to the ozone generator (120). The syringe preparation station (130) sterilizes the syringe (110) with a first amount of the ozone and fills the syringe (110) with a second amount of the ozone.
