Systems, methods, and devices for ozone sanitization of continuous positive airway pressure devices

摘要

The present invention is generally related to a device and method for sanitizing a medical instrument with ozone, in particular the invention relates to a system, method and a device for sanitizing a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device. The device has an ozone compartment, an ozone operating system and one or more ozone distribution lines that distribute ozone to a continuous positive airway pressure device. The device may further include a heater adapter unit to connect heating systems in CPAP devices while distributing ozone to sanitize the CPAP device in accordance with the present invention.

1. A method of sanitizing an inner cavity of a medical instrument comprising the steps of:
connecting a connector unit at a first end to a proximal end of a passageway with a gas environment in the medical instrument and at a second end to an enclosed space, wherein the connector unit includes an outer wall between the first end and the second end; connecting an ozone gas distribution line to the connector unit such that the distribution line traverses the outer wall and a free end of the distribution line is in fluid communication with the inner cavity of the medical instrument; producing ozone gas in the ozone operating system; providing the ozone gas to the ozone gas distribution line; releasing the ozone gas into the inner cavity of the medical instrument; and migrating ozone gas through the inner cavity of the medical instrument.
