US Patent:
6558620, May 6, 2003
Filed:
Feb 7, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/499561
Inventors:
Bill R. Sanford - Willoughby OH
Jude A. Kral - Twinsburg OH
Joseph Tvergyak - Chardon OH
Bernard J. Moss - Willowick OH
Robert M. Priest - Eastlake OH
James C. Hlebovy - Chardon OH
Daniel N. Kelsch - Fairview Park OH
Alan J. Greszler - Elyria OH
David E. Minerovic - Concord OH
John C. Houston - Erie PA
Nancy A. Robinson - Hudson OH
Assignee:
Steris Inc. - Temecula CA
International Classification:
A61L 200
US Classification:
422 28, 1341022, 134168 C, 134170, 422 33, 422292, 422300, 422905
Abstract:
A method of washing, microbially decontaminating, and rinsing of a lumened device (B), such as an endoscope includes positioning the device in a chamber ( ) of an automated processor (A). Spray nozzles ( ) within the chamber sequentially spray washing, microbial decontaminant, and rinse fluids over the device. Fluid connection ports ( ) connect with internal passages ( ) of the device for delivering the fluids thereto. Leaking connectors ( ) connect the automated processor connection ports with inlet ports ( ) of the device and allow a portion of the washing, decontaminant, and rinse solutions to leak from each inlet port. A computer control system ( ) controls leak testing, cleaning, decontamination, rinsing, and drying stages of a cycle, which are all carried out within the chamber, obviating the need for human contact with the device during processing. A door locking and latching mechanism ( ) ensures that the door remains locked during the washing, decontamination, and rinse cycle to avoid accidental injury to an operator from strong chemicals used in the system.

International Classification:
E06B 1100
US Classification:
422307, 49 11, 49193, 49214, 49394, 2921041, 292172, 292215, 134200, 134292, 134296, 134300
Abstract:
A fluid delivery system ( ) for an automated processor (A) delivers washing, microbial decontaminant, and rinse fluids to spray nozzles ( ) in a chamber ( ) for sequentially spraying the fluids over a lumened device (B), such as an endoscope. The fluid delivery system also delivers the fluids to connection ports ( ) which connect with internal passages ( ) of the device for delivering the fluids thereto. Leaking connectors ( ) connect the automated processor connection ports with inlet ports ( ) of the device and allow a portion of the washing, decontaminant, and rinsing solutions to leak from each inlet port. A computer control system ( ) controls cleaning, decontamination, rinsing, and drying stages of a cycle, which are all carried out within the chamber, obviating the need for human contact with the device during processing. A door locking and latching mechanism ( ) ensures that the door remains locked during the washing, decontamination, and rinse cycle to avoid accidental injury to an operator from strong chemicals used in the system.

US Patent:
52176983, Jun 8, 1993
Filed:
Apr 5, 1991
Appl. No.:
7/681118
Inventors:
Norman L. Siegel - Mentor OH
David E. Minerovic - Concord OH
Raymond C. Kralovic - Austinburg OH
Bill R. Sanford - Mentor OH
Pamela C. Tanner - Euclid OH
Donald J. Rebele - Worthington OH
Douglas F. Marshall - Worthington OH
Samuel M. Fung - Columbus OH
John L. Beiswenger - Coatesville PA
Assignee:
Steris Corporation - Mentor OH
International Classification:
A61L 218
B08B 1300
US Classification:
422295
Abstract:
The body portion (A) of a small portable sterilizer has a face panel (46) against which a door (B) is selectively closed. The face panel defines an access opening for a sterilization chamber (10) which receives a cassette (C), an access opening for an anti-microbial concentrate chamber (20) which receives a powdered or other sterilant concentrate, and an outlet opening (50) from a microbe filter which filters microbes from incoming rinse water. The face plate and the door define fluid flow channels (48, 52) therebetween for selectively directing sterilant solutions and rinse solutions among the anti-microbial concentrate chamber, the sterilization chamber, and the microbial filter. The cassette is configured to assure that it is inserted into the sterilization chamber with a unique orientation such that its fluid inlet apertures (114) and outlet apertures (124) are at preselected locations. The door includes generally U-shaped projections (116) which abut an outer surface of the cassette in the sterilization chamber partially surrounding the fluid inlet apertures.

US Patent:
59978147, Dec 7, 1999
Filed:
Dec 31, 1997
Appl. No.:
9/002096
Inventors:
David E. Minerovic - Concord OH
Christopher M. Fricker - Mentor OH
Todd A. Christopher - New Palestine IN
Brian E. Schindly - Mentor OH
Karen Thomas - Eastlake OH
Assignee:
Steris Corporation - Mentor OH
International Classification:
A61L 900
US Classification:
422 29
Abstract:
An outer, first cup portion having a peripheral wall which has an opening at a first end and at a second end. An inner, second cup portion having a region which is formed from a first material which is impermeable to the powdered reagents but is permeable to water and to solutions containing dissolved reagents, the first and second cup portions being configured such that the second cup portion peripheral wall abuts and is connected to the first end of the outer first cup portion, the first and second being configured such that a first powdered reagent receiving chamber is defined in the first cup portion for receiving a first reagent and a second powdered reagent receiving chamber is defined in the second cup portion for receiving a second reagent, a closure secured to and closing the second end of the outer first cup portion, the closure being impermeable to the first reagent.

US Patent:
63259680, Dec 4, 2001
Filed:
Dec 23, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/221019
Inventors:
Christopher M. Fricker - Mentor OH
Todd A. Christopher - New Palestine IN
Brian E. Schindly - Mentor OH
Karen Thomas - Eastlake OH
David E. Minerovic - Concord OH
Michael F. Jusek - Cleveland OH
Assignee:
Steris Corporation - Mentor OH
International Classification:
A61L 200
US Classification:
422 28
Abstract:
An outer, first container portion (50) has a peripheral wall (52) which has an opening at a first end (56) and at a second end (60). A porous filter (58) covers the second end. An inner, second container portion (70) has a peripheral wall (72) with a region which is formed from a first material which is impermeable to the powdered reagents but is permeable to water and to solutions containing dissolved reagents. The first and second container portions are configured such that the second container portion peripheral wall abuts and is connected to the first end of the outer first container portion. The first and second container portions define a first powdered reagent receiving chamber in the first container portion for receiving a first reagent and a second powdered reagent receiving chamber in the second container portion for receiving a second reagent. The porous filter is impermeable to the first reagent but permeable to water and to solutions containing dissolved reagents.
