Abstract
An illustrative aqueous ozone delivery device for use with an aqueous ozone generator cartridge can be used for body part, tissue, and instrument sanitizing, including hand rinsing, hand sanitizing, and clinical treatment. One embodiment includes a hooded sanitizing chamber and spray devices directed to each hand of a user, a docketing station for pluggably receiving a replaceable ozone generator and sensor cartridge, and a controller for sensing hand position and orientation, delivering a desired ozone concentration and duration.
Claims23
An aqueous ozone sanitizing device for use with an aqueous ozone generator cartridge, comprising:
- a support structure;
- a water supply inlet connector coupled to the support structure;
- an aqueous ozone delivery outlet coupled to the support structure;
- at least one docking station for receiving an aqueous ozone generator cartridge, each of the at least one docking station comprising:
- a water supply outlet connector fluidly coupled to the water supply inlet, fixed to the at least one docking station, and configured to releasably fluidly couple with and supply non-ozonated water to a water inlet connector of the aqueous ozone generator cartridge;
- an ozonated water inlet connector fluidly coupled to the aqueous ozone delivery outlet, fixed to the at least one docking station, and configured to releasably fluidly couple with and receive ozonated water from a water outlet connector of the aqueous ozone generator cartridge;
- and
- a first electrical connector fixed to the at least one docking station, and configured to releasably electrically couple with a second electrical connector of the aqueous ozone generator cartridge;
- wherein a longitudinal axis of each of the water supply outlet connector, ozonated water inlet connector, and first electrical connector are parallel and laterally displaced, whereby the aqueous ozone generator cartridge is pluggable into the docking station to fluidly couple the water inlet connector with the water supply outlet connector, to fluidly couple the ozonated water outlet connector with the ozonated water inlet connector, and to electrically couple the first electrical connector with the second electrical connector.
