Abstract
A system for sterilization of a medical device comprising at least one medical device and at least one sterilization device. The sterilization device comprises at least one plasma generator and at least one water source and/or water vapor source for providing water and/or water vapor. The sterilization device is configured to generate plasma-activated water vapor and the system is configured to at least partially conduct the plasma-activated water vapor through the medical device.
Claims20
A system for sterilization of a medical device, wherein the system comprises at least one medical device and at least one sterilization device, the at least one sterilization device comprising at least one plasma generator and at least one water source and/or water vapor source for providing water and/or water vapor and being configured to generate plasma-activated water vapor, and the system being configured to at least partially conduct the plasma-activated water vapor through the medical device, the medical device being a ventilator which comprises at least one patient gas pass and the system being configured to at least partially conduct the plasma-activated water vapor through the patient gas pass.
A system for sterilization of a medical device, wherein the system comprises at least one medical device and at least one sterilization device, the at least one sterilization device comprising at least one plasma generator and at least one water source and/or water vapor source for providing water and/or water vapor and being configured to generate plasma-activated water vapor, and the system being configured to at least partially conduct the plasma-activated water vapor through the medical device, the system further comprising a waste gas treatment device which is configured and designed to treat the plasma-activated water vapor.
A system for sterilization of a medical device, wherein the system comprises at least one medical device and at least one sterilization device, the at least one sterilization device comprising at least one plasma generator and at least one water source and/or water vapor source for providing water and/or water vapor and being configured to generate plasma-activated water vapor, and the system being configured to at least partially conduct the plasma-activated water vapor through the medical device, the at least one medical device being an incubator which comprises at least one incubation space comprising at least one supply line and one discharge line and plasma-activated water vapor is being conducted into the incubation space via the supply line and being discharged via the discharge line.
