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.

主权项

1. An ozone sanitizing system for sanitizing a continuous positive airway pressure device, the ozone sanitizing system comprising:
the continuous positive airway pressure device wherein the continuous positive pressure device includes a water reservoir, a hose, and a mask connected to the hose; a continuous positive airway pressure connector unit connecting a first end of the hose to the water reservoir, wherein the connector unit connects to the water reservoir above any water in the water reservoir; a third port included in the continuous positive airway pressure connector unit; an ozone operating system; one or more distribution lines connected to the ozone operating system at a proximal end and connected through the third port of the continuous positive airway pressure connector unit and terminating in the water reservoir at the distal end, thereby distributing ozone into the water reservoir; a mask compartment connected to a second end of the hose, the mask compartment encasing the mask and creating a gas-tight environment; and, free ozone in the hose and the mask compartment, wherein the free ozone is ozone released from the water reservoir and whereby the free ozone passes in a gas environment through the hose and the mask compartment.
