1. A stethoscope disinfection system comprising:
a guide member comprising:
a body member,a rotation-imparting member,a slide guide track,a spring guide track, anda trolley guide track; a trolley configured to removably attach to the guide member, the trolley comprising:
a lower housing member configured to engage with the trolley guide track,a cam member configured to engage with the rotation-imparting member to have motion imparted to the cam member thereby, the cam member comprising a dispersing mechanism chamber,a lock head comprising an arm,a spring apparatus configured to engage with each of the spring guide track and the arm of the lock head, the spring apparatus configured to transition between an expanded state and a compressed state,a brush member positioned generally above the cam member and attached to the spring apparatus,an upper housing member configured to receive at least a portion of a head of a stethoscope, anda dispersing member positioned in the dispersing mechanism chamber; and a slide guide configured to engage with each of the arm of the lock head and the slide guide track and to translate along a length of the slide guide track; wherein the dispersing member is configured to be actuated by the rotation of the cam member to disperse a disinfectant solution; wherein the spring apparatus is configured to transition from the expanded state to the compressed state when translating in a distal direction; wherein the spring apparatus is configured to transition from the compressed state to the expanded state upon the slide guide disengaging with the arm of the lock head; wherein the brush member is translated vertically by the transition of the spring apparatus from the compressed state to the expanded state; wherein the transition of the trolley in a proximal direction causes the brush member to be rotated; and wherein the slide guide is configured to engage with the arm of the lock head when the trolley is translated in a proximal direction to a proximal end of the trolley guide track and the slide guide is translated in a proximal direction to a proximal end of the slide guide track.
