Abstract
The present invention is generally related to a device and method for sanitizing a medical instrument with ozone, in particular the invention relates to a system, method and a device for sanitizing a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device. The device has an ozone compartment, an ozone operating system and one or more ozone distribution lines that distribute ozone to a continuous positive airway pressure device. The device may further include a heater adapter unit to connect heating systems in CPAP devices while distributing ozone to sanitize the CPAP device in accordance with the present invention.
Claims20
A method of sanitizing an inner cavity of a medical instrument comprising the steps of:
- producing ozone gas in an ozone operating system;
- releasing the ozone gas into an inner cavity of a medical instrument;
- and,
- migrating ozone gas through the inner cavity of the medical instrument.
A method of providing an ozone process for sanitizing an inner cavity of a medical instrument comprising:
- connecting an ozone operating system with an ozone generator at a proximal end of the medical instrument;
- releasing ozone gas into one or more inner cavities of a medical instrument;
- migrating ozone gas through the one or more inner cavities of the medical instrument;
- providing an exhaust port removably attached to the distal end of the medical instrument;
- and,
- exhausting ozone gas from the inner cavity of the medical instrument through the exhaust port.
A method of sanitizing a continuous positive airway pressure device comprising the steps of:
- producing ozone in an ozone device with an ozone operating system;
- releasing ozone gas into a continuous positive airway pressure device;
- and,
- migrating ozone gas through the continuous positive airway pressure device.
A method of sanitizing a continuous positive airway pressure device comprising the steps of:
- producing ozone in an ozone device with an ozone operating system;
- releasing ozone into water in a water reservoir of a continuous positive airway pressure device;
- migrating free ozone from said water reservoir to a hose;
- migrating the free ozone from the hose into a face mask in a face mask compartment;
- and,
- removing the ozone from said continuous positive airway pressure device through an exhaust port.
