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.
Claims25
A system comprising:
- an ozone device with an ozone operating system;
- one or more distribution lines, wherein the one or more distribution lines distributes ozone from the ozone device into a medical instrument;
- and,
- a means for distributing the ozone throughout a gas environment in the medical instrument.
A system for delivering ozone to a gas environment of a medical instrument, the system comprising:
- an ozone operating system including an air pump for pumping air and an ozone generator for receiving the air and creating ozone gas;
- an ozone distribution line fluidly connected to the ozone operating system for receiving and distributing the ozone gas, the ozone distribution line including a connector configured to be fluidly connected to a first end of the medical instrument such that the ozone gas is distributed to a fluid passageway in the medical instrument;
- and,
- an exhaust port configured to be fluidly coupled to a second end of the medical instrument such that the ozone gas passes through the gas environment of the medical instrument and is exhausted.
A closed-loop ozone system for disinfecting and sanitizing a medical instrument with an inner cavity, the closed-loop system comprising:
- operating system connected at a proximal end to the inner cavity of the medical instrument;
- an air pump connected to the ozone operating system wherein the ozone operating system pushes ozone gas into the inner cavity of the medical instrument at the proximal end;
- an exhaust port connected at a distal end of the inner cavity of the medical instrument, the exhaust port completing a closed-loop system between the ozone operating system, the medical instrument and the exhaust port, wherein the exhaust port pulls migrating ozone through the medical instrument to release as oxygen.
A system comprising:
- an ozone device with an ozone operating system;
- one or more distribution lines, wherein the one or more distribution lines distributes ozone gas from the ozone device to an inner gas environment of a continuous positive airway pressure device;
- and,
- a means for migrating ozone gas through the gas environment in the continuous positive airway pressure device.
