Leak Detector For Endoscopes

View page
US Patent:
6412334, Jul 2, 2002
Filed:
Feb 7, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/498870
Inventors:
Jude A. Kral - Twinsburg OH
Lawrence W. Leasko - Perry OH
Wynn V. Webb - Streetsboro OH
Bernard J. Moss - Willowick OH
Assignee:
Steris Inc. - Temecula CA
International Classification:
G01M 326
US Classification:
73 40, 73 492
Abstract:
In automated reprocessing system (B), a leak detection system ( ) evaluates the integrity of a device, such as an endoscope (A), having an internal passage ( ). The leak detection system includes an interior chamber ( ) which is connected to the internal passage by quick connects ( ). A source of compressed air ( ) supplies the chamber and internal passage with air to a suitable test pressure. A pressure sensor ( ) and a temperature sensor ( ), in communication with the chamber, detect the pressure and temperature within the chamber and hence in the endoscope passage. Pressure and temperature measurements made over time are used to determine changes in the gas volume, indicative of whether leaks are present in the endoscope. If the endoscope is determined to be free of leaks, the endoscope is washed and microbially decontaminated in the reprocessing system.

US Patent:
6482358, Nov 19, 2002
Filed:
Feb 7, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/499241
Inventors:
Daniel N. Kelsch - Fairview Park OH
Jude A. Kral - Twinsburg OH
Bernard J. Moss - Willowick OH
James C. Hlebovy - Chardon OH
Arthur T. Nagare - Erie PA
Jeffery R. Horacek - Mentor OH
Assignee:
Steris Inc. - Temecula CA
International Classification:
A61L 200
US Classification:
422 28, 134 93, 134 951, 137268, 422 33, 422292, 422300
Abstract:
A sequential delivery assembly ( ) sequentially releases three different treatment materials into a fluid flow path ( ) to form a treatment fluid with a composition which varies throughout a cleaning and microbial decontamination cycle. A chamber ( ) receives items to be cleaned and decontaminated. A pump ( ) pumps the treatment fluid from the sequential delivery assembly along a fluid flow line ( ) to nozzles ( ) disposed within the chamber. The nozzles spray the treatment fluid over the items to be cleaned and decontaminated. The delivery assembly includes a well ( ) for receiving a three compartment cup ( ). The cup contains a first compartment ( ) which includes a cleaning material ( ), such as a detergent. A second compartment ( ) contains pre-treatment materials ( ), such as buffers and corrosion inhibitors, which prepare the system for receiving a microbial decontaminant ( ), such as a concentrated solution of peracetic acid, contained in the third compartment ( ). The sequential delivery assembly includes a cup cutter assembly which sequentially cuts base portions ( ) of the three compartments to release the treatment materials into the fluid flow line.

Flow Through Rack For Contact Point Sterilization Of Rack Supported Medical Devices

View page
US Patent:
6555054, Apr 29, 2003
Filed:
Jan 15, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/232068
Inventors:
Jude A. Kral - Twinsburg OH
Richard A. Schieman - Novelty OH
Assignee:
Steris Inc. - Temecula CA
International Classification:
A01N 208
US Classification:
422 28, 422297, 422300, 206363, 206438, 211 601, 211 66, 134198
Abstract:
A flow-through rack assembly ( ) includes porous hangers ( ) which support items to be decontaminated within a decontamination chamber ( ). A plurality of nozzles ( ) spray a decontaminant fluid, such as peracetic acid, over the items. The rack assembly includes tubes ( ) which convey a portion of the decontaminant fluid under pressure to internal channels ( ) of the porous hangers. The fluid permeates the hanger surface, flowing over regions of the items which are in contact with the hangers. The rack assembly ensures decontamination of those regions which may be otherwise inaccessible to fluid sprayed from the nozzles.

Liquid Cleaning And Sterilization Method

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

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.

Abstract:
A fluid delivery system ( ) for an automated processor (A) includes spray nozzles ( ) for sequentially spraying washing, microbial decontaminant and rinsing solutions over a lumened device (B), such as an endoscope. The fluid delivery system also includes connection ports ( ) for connecting with internal passages ( ) of the device to deliver the washing and microbial decontaminant solutions thereto. A removable rack ( ), specially configured for the particular device, positions the device within a chamber ( ). The spray nozzles are located on rear and side walls ( ) and on a door ( ) of the chamber, such that the device is impinged with spray from all directions. Sets ( ) of the spray nozzles are pulsed in sequence so that the spray jets ( ) do not cancel each other out. Leaking connectors ( ) connect the automated processor connection ports with inlet ports ( ) of the device and allow a portion of the cleaning, 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.

Appl. No.:
10/633342
Inventors:
Christopher A. Jethrow - Maple Heights OH, US
Jude A. Kral - Twinsburg OH, US
Donald A. Sargent - Wickliffe OH, US
Assignee:
Steris Inc. - Temecula CA
International Classification:
A61L002/00
US Classification:

US Patent:
7135142, Nov 14, 2006
Filed:
Aug 1, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/633343
Inventors:
Peter A. Burke - Concord OH, US
Karl F. Ludwig - Girard PA, US
Jude A. Kral - Twinsburg OH, US
Francis J. Zelina - Lake City PA, US
Assignee:
Steris Inc. - Temecula CA
International Classification:
A61L 2/18
US Classification:
422 28, 422 24, 422292, 73 38, 73 40
Abstract:
A reprocessor having a circulation system for circulating a microbial deactivation fluid through a chamber that forms a part of the circulation system. The reprocessor includes a water filtration system for filtering water used in the reprocessor. The water filtration system includes a fluid feed line connectable to a source of pressurized water. A first filter and second filter elements are disposed in the fluid feed line for filtering fluids flowing therethrough. The second filter element is downstream from the first filter element and has the capacity to filter particles smaller than the first filter element. The fluid feed line forms a fluid path for water entering the reprocessor, and defines a portion of a path for microbial deactivation fluid circulated through the circulation system.
