Abstract
Examples described herein include electrolysis devices for producing a disinfectant solution from a salt solution in a container and methods of using the same. The devices include an electrode assembly able to penetrate the container. The disinfectant solution may be hypochlorous acid or metal ion hypochlorite. The salt solution may be a predetermined volume of sterile saline solution.
Claims21
A device for producing a disinfectant solution in a closed container, the device comprising:
- an electrode assembly comprising:
- an anode,
- a cathode, and
- an insulator positioned between the anode and cathode;
- and
- a base comprising:
- a housing,
- a circuit board coupled to the electrode assembly, and
- a power switch coupled to the circuit board and configured to control power application to the electrode assembly;
- wherein
- the container comprises a fixed volume of sterile 0.3-6% w/v salt solution;
- and
- at least one of the anode and the cathode of the electrode assembly is configured to form a breach in a wall of the closed container to produce, inside the closed container, hypochlorous acid from the salt solution responsive to the power application to the electrode assembly.

A method comprising:
- forming a breach in a wall of a closed container of sterile sodium chloride solution with at least an anode or a cathode of an electrode assembly;
- supplying power to the electrode assembly;
- and
- electrolyzing the sodium chloride solution responsive to the power, to generate a disinfectant solution in the closed container.
