    Abstract: A method for reducing viable microbial burden on a surface. The method includes placing an item into a system chamber. The method includes a conditioning phase where ozone is generated by an ozone generator and a fan circulates the ozone in a closed loop between the ozone generator and the system chamber. The method then includes a disinfection phase where a pump pumps disinfectant to a nebulizer where it is converted into a disinfectant vapor. A fan is then activated to circulate the vapor in a closed loop between the nebulizer and the system chamber. After the disinfecting phase, the method activates a post-disinfection conditioning phase where an ozone generator generates ozone that is circulated by a fan in a closed loop between the ozone generator, the nebulizer and the system chamber. Lastly, the method activates a system clearing phase, where air flow is pulled into the system through an inlet and exhausted out of the system through an outlet.

    Abstract: A sterilization, disinfection, sanitization, or decontamination system having a chamber defining a region, and a generator for creating a free radical effluent with reactive oxygen, nitrogen, and other species and/or a vaporizer. A closed loop circulating system without a free-radical destroyer is provided for supplying the mixture of free radicals from the generator mixed with the hydrogen peroxide solution in the form of the effluent to the chamber. The system is used in sterilizing, disinfecting, sanitizing, or decontaminating items in the chamber or room and, with a wound chamber, in treating wounds on a body. The wound chamber may be designed to maintain separation from wounds being treated. Various embodiments can control moisture to reduce or avoid unwanted condensation. Some embodiments can be incorporated into an appliance having a closed space, such as a washing machine. Some embodiments may include a residual coating device that deposits a bactericidal coating on sterilized items.

    Abstract: A chemical indicator strip for detecting disinfectant that includes a film substrate, and an indicator portion with a first and a second ink. The first and the second ink can react in the presence of a threshold level of disinfectant for a threshold level of exposure time. The chemical indicator strip can be used in a method of detecting a threshold level of disinfectant. The method can include exposing a chemical indicator strip to a concentration of disinfectant for a preset amount of time. The method can include providing a visual indicator to a user that changes from a first color to a second color. The method can indicate that the chemical indicator strip has been exposed to a threshold concentration of disinfectant for a threshold amount of time when a complete color change occurs on the chemical indicator strip from the first color to the second color.
