Abstract

The present disclosure is generally related to devices, methods and systems for cleaning, disinfecting and/or sterilizing a medical device, medical hoses and tubes and accessories thereof with ozone gas, in particular the disclosure relates to devices, methods and systems with multiple receptacles for providing closed-loop fluid pathways to distribute ozone gas to inner passageways and the outer compartments of medical devices. The devices in accordance with an embodiment of the disclosure have two or more receptacles for distributing ozone gas, a gas-tight compartment, an ozone operating system, and one or more connector units configured to fluidly migrate ozone in closed-loop treatment systems.

Claims (12)

1. An ozone treatment system comprising:

an ozone operating system;

a distribution line fluidly connected to the ozone operating system for receiving and distributing ozone gas;

a first receptacle fluidly coupled to the distribution line, wherein the distribution line traverses the first receptacle for releasing ozone gas into a medical device;

a connector unit configured to fluidly couple at a proximal end to the medical device and at a distal end to a proximal end of a hose of the medical device, wherein the distribution line traverses into the connector unit;

a second receptacle configured to engage a distal end of the hose; and

an exhaust port fluidly connected to the second receptacle.

2. The system in accordance with claim 1 further comprising a gas-tight compartment fluidly connected to the second receptacle.

3. The system of claim 1 further comprising a user interface coupled to the ozone operating system.

4. The system of claim 1 further comprising a timer coupled to the ozone operating system.

5. The system of claim 1 further comprising a sensor for sensing remaining ozone in an ozone gas fluid passageway.

6. The system of claim 1 further comprising an oxidizing catalyst coupled to the exhaust port to collect and break down ozone.
