Abstract: A wireless handheld device is provided comprising a lid, a lower casing, and a slideable control bar. The lower casing has a bottom end and a top end. The lid has a bottom end and a top end. The top end of the lid is rotatably coupled to the top end of the lower casing with at least one hinge component such that the handheld device is rotatable from a closed position to an open position and from the open position to the closed position. The lid and the lower casing have adjacent facing surfaces when in the closed position. The slideable control bar is provided on the lower casing. When the wireless handheld device is opened, the slideable control bar is slideable along the facing surface of the lower casing towards the top end of the lower casing.

Abstract: The addition of alcohol plus acetate salts unexpectedly enhanced the tuberculocidal activity of glutaraldehyde, and decreased the fumes of glutaraldehyde from the formula of a high-level disinfectant.

Abstract: A low odor, aqueous, quick acting cold temperature disinfectant solution primarily useful for medical instruments to disinfect within a half hour or less. The composition comprises a reacting or synergistic combination of hydrogen peroxide and from about 1% to 30% by weight of a carboxylic acid/carboxylate salt buffered solution.

Abstract: A high level disinfectant and sterilant solution that is useful to disinfect and sterilize heat-sensitive medical, dental and veterinary devices. The disinfectant solution is a two-part system for mixing just prior to use. The first part comprises glutaraldehyde and a phenolic chemical at a concentration of from about 0.5% w/w to 2.2% w/w, and a second separately contained part that is an activated buffer form of ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA). The third part of the system is local potable tap water.

Abstract: An aqueous formula is disclosed that combines a relatively low concentration of glutaraldehyde with very low concentrations of alcohol in a stabilizing alkaline buffer system. This formula is sporicidal within 10 hrs. at 20.degree. C., and bactericidal, fungicidal, tuberculocidal, and virucidal within 20 min. at 20.degree. C.

Abstract: A low odor, aqueous, quick acting room temperature disinfectant solution primarily useful for medical instruments to disinfect within a half hour or less. The composition comprises a reacting or synergistic combination of hydrogen peroxide and from about 1% to 30% by weight of a water soluble organic acid or salt form thereof with the acid preferably being selected from the group consisting of malonic and succinic acids.
