Environmentally Friendly Peracetic Acid Decontamination Formula With Increased Performance And Chemical Stability

View page
US Patent:
6527872, Mar 4, 2003
Filed:
Oct 10, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/974499
Inventors:
Christopher M. Fricker - Concord OH
Brian C. Wojcieck - Madison OH
Stephanie A. S. Harrington - Mentor OH
Iain F. McVey - Lakewood OH
George E. Grignol - Fairview PA
Assignee:
Steris Inc. - Temecula CA
International Classification:
B08B 304
US Classification:
134 42, 134 41, 510161, 510372, 510375, 510380, 510382, 510383, 510507, 510512
Abstract:
An environmentally friendly decontaminant solution, which may be disposed of after use without posing significant environmental hazards, is formulated without molybdenum-based corrosion inhibitors and preferably is free of all heavy metals. A zeolite-based buffering system optionally replaces phosphate buffers for maintaining the pH of the decontaminant solution at an appropriate pH for effective antimicrobial decontamination. Molybdenum-free decontaminant solutions containing peracetic acid retain their peracetic acid levels, and thus their antimicrobial effectiveness, for longer periods than comparable solutions formulated with a molybdate corrosion inhibitor.

Chemical Modification Of Electrochemically Activated Solutions For Improved Performance

View page
US Patent:
6623695, Sep 23, 2003
Filed:
Oct 27, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/428207
Inventors:
Paul S. Malchesky - Painesville Twp. OH
Christopher M. Fricker - Concord OH
Assignee:
Steris Corporation - Mentor OH
International Classification:
C23F 1100
US Classification:
422 12, 422 7, 422 32, 422 34, 422186, 422292, 510161, 510401, 510421, 510426, 510480, 510512, 210243, 210748, 134 221, 134 2216, 134 26, 134 28, 134 36, 134 41
Abstract:
An anticorrosive, penetration enhancing composition for cleaning decontaminating and rinsing includes electrochemically activated (ECA) water as the decontamination agent. The anticorrosive decontamination composition has, as the anticorrosive agent, a compound or mixture of compounds capable of inhibiting corrosion of various metals used in sterilization decontamination and rinsing systems and objects such as medical instruments. Preferred anticorrosive compounds include phosphates, azoles, and sulfates. Other additives, including wetting agents, are added to reduce the surface energy of the ECA water. This reduced surface energy permits the ECA water to penetrate into objects of complex design thus permitting complete decontamination of the treated object.

View page
US Patent:
6749807, Jun 15, 2004
Filed:
May 19, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/314497
Inventors:
Brian E. Schindly - Mentor OH
Christopher M. Fricker - Concord OH
George E. Grignol - Fairview PA
Assignee:
Steris Corporation - Mentor OH
International Classification:
B01L 300
US Classification:
422 28, 422 1, 422102, 422263, 422266, 422277, 422278, 422292, 436 1, 436 50, 436 55, 116206, 206 591
Abstract:
A single-use cartridge C contains a dose of a concentrated decontaminant for providing a decontaminant solution upon mixing with water. The cartridge is inserted into the well ( ) of a decontamination system (A). Fresh water and then the decontaminant solution are recirculated through the well during a decontamination cycle. The cartridge includes a porous region ( ), through which the decontaminant solution flows. Impregnated in the porous region is a chemical indicator ( ), such as crystal violet, which gradually changes color on exposure to the decontaminant. The indicator provides a semi-quantitative indication of the integrated level of the decontaminant in the solution over time for determining whether an acceptable level of the decontaminant was present for decontamination. A preferred embodiment of the cartridge C includes nested inner and outer water-penetrable cups ( ) for holding first and second reagents. The two cups are sealed together adjacent upper open ends ( ).

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

Cleaner Concentrate Formulation For Biological Waste Fluid Handling Systems

View page
US Patent:
57230951, Mar 3, 1998
Filed:
Dec 28, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/580325
Inventors:
Christopher M. Fricker - Concord OH
Michelle D. Mogyordy - Willoughby OH
Assignee:
Steris Corporation - Mentor OH
International Classification:
A61L 200
US Classification:
422292
Abstract:
A vessel (14) receives biological fluid wastes. After the biological fluids wastes are drained (24) from the vessel, the vessel is sprayed (36) with a cleaning and decontaminating solution. The solution is formed by mixing water with powdered reagents including (a) a highly soluble hypochlorite, preferably lithium hypochlorite, (b) a chelator including citrate and gluconate salts and EDTA, (c) a buffer for buffering the pH to a range of 7. 0 to 13. 0, (d) a stabilizer for stabilizing the hypochlorite, (e) a corrosion inhibitor, preferably an organic corrosion inhibitor such as a triazole and an inorganic inhibitor such as a molybdate, and (f) a surfactant, preferably present in a concentration of 0. 2 to 5%. After the interior of the vessel has been decontaminated and the drain has been closed, the solution continues to be introduced into the vessel, such that a charge of the solution is present in the vessel to decontaminate next received biological waste fluids.

Generation Of Active Chlorine In The Presence Of An Organic Load From Sodium Chloride In Water

View page
US Patent:
61268100, Oct 3, 2000
Filed:
Apr 27, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/067278
Inventors:
Christopher M. Fricker - Concord OH
Paul S. Malchesky - Painesville Township OH
Brian C. Wojcieck - Willoughby OH
Jason M. Sell - Seven Hills OH
Assignee:
Steris Corporation - Mentor OH
International Classification:
C02F 146
US Classification:
205500
Abstract:
A recirculation system for electrochemically activated antimicrobial solutions returns antimicrobial solution which has been depleted of active antimicrobial species to a electrolytic cell for regeneration of the active species. Organic load, which frequently contaminates items to be sterilized or disinfected, such as medical instruments, rapidly depletes the active antimicrobial species in a conventional treatment system, reducing the effectiveness of microbial decontamination by electrochemically activated solutions. By recirculating the antimicrobial through the electrolytic cell, the concentration of active species is maintained at a level at which efficient sterilization is achieved.
