Abstract: This disclosure describes a commercial/industrial remineralizer designed to be added to a purification system that raises the pH by non-chemical methodology while replacing important electrolytes to the water that were extracted along with the toxic, non-essential minerals from the water. The remineralizer can be designed for heavy commercial continuous production.

Abstract: A food and beverage preservative formulated to reduce growth of microbial contaminants such as bacteria, mold and spores that cause food and beverage spoilage including a vegetable cellulose fiber, beeswax or bee cream and an antioxidant and a method of manufacturing the food and beverage preservative.

Abstract: A food and beverage preservative formulated to reduce growth of microbial contaminants such as bacteria and spores that cause food and beverage spoilage including a vegetable cellulose fiber and an emulsifier having a pH of at least about 7.0 and a method of manufacturing the food and beverage preservative.

Abstract: Preservative compositions which include vegetable cellulose fiber such that the composition has a pH of at least about 6.6 are provided. Methods for manufacturing such preservative compositions are also provided.

Abstract: Umbilical surgical scissors to cut and clamp the umbilical cord following birth comprising a scissor assembly including a first and second scissor member selectively movable between a first and second position relative to each other having a clamping assembly detachably mounted thereon by a clamp assembly holder, the clamping assembly comprises a pair of clamping clips each including a first and second clamping element movable between a normally open position and a closed clamping position such that when the first and second scissor members are moved from the first position to the second position the umbilical cord is severed and the responding first and second clamping elements clamp the umbilical cord therebetween.

Abstract: An integrated medical diagnostic center configured to provide emergency communications, immediate measurement of various physiological conditions and provision for administration of emergency treatment, the integrated medical diagnostic center comprising a cabinet including a plurality of compartments to house an emergency communications device, a plurality of physiological diagnostic devices, at least one patient support movable between a stored position and an operative position and at least one emergency treatment device.

Abstract: A diagnostic syringe actuator device for use in combination with a syringe in the removal of tissue, fluid and/or cells for the diagnosis of pathological processes wherein the syringe includes a hollow syringe body having a longitudinally movable syringe plunger at least partially disposed therein with a probe needle attached to the distal end portion comprising a hollow retractor tube having a longitudinally movable retractable piston disposed therein, a longitudinally movable syringe plunger sabot disposed within the hollow retractor tube, a sabot lock mechanism selectively movable between a locked and unlocked position disposed to engage the syringe plunger sabot when in the locked position to maintain the syringe plunger and the syringe plunger sabot in the advanced position and to disengage the syringe is plunger sabot when moved to the unlocked position such that the syringe plunger sabot and the syringe plunger move from the advanced position when the retractable piston has been at least partially retr

Abstract: A method of immersion sterilization of medical and dental instruments and an organic cold chemical sterilant capable of killing a challenge of target microorganisms including bacterial spores wherein the method of immersion sterilization comprises the steps of immersion of the instruments in a first organic solution to solubilize the protein of the microorganisms, immersion in an aqueous solution to unprotonate the solubilized proteins and exposing the bioburden on the instruments to ultrasonic agitation to remove organic material from the instruments and immersion in a second organic solution to cross-link the binding sites of the unprotonated proteins thereby denaturing the proteins to corrupt and penetrate the bacterial walls to kill the endospores and other microorganisms; and wherein the organic cold chemical sterilant comprises a monohydric alcohol, a polyhydric alcohol, a dialdehyde, a surface active agent and water in proportion by weight to denature the proteins to corrupt and penetrate the bacterial

Abstract: A non-toxic hypocompatible biodegradable germicide effective against a wide range of pathogenic organisms comprising a composition including a monohydric alcohol from the group consisting of isopropyl, methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, n-butyl, tert-butyl or allyl or mixtures thereof and a polyhydric alcohol from the group consisting of propylene glycol; 1,3 propanediol; 1,2 butanediol, PEG 400; glycerol or 1,4 butanediol or mixtures thereof in proportion by weight such that the polyhydric alcohol reduces the surface glaze formed by the monohydric alcohol and surface tension formed by water or water-based body fluids enabling the disinfectant/antiseptic to kill the pathogenic organisms and act equally effective on a patient or inanimate surface without deleterious effect to either.

Abstract: A hypocompatible biodegradable nonaqueous cold chemical sterilant capable of killing a challenge of a wide range of target organisms including bacterial spores within ten minutes comprising a composition of interactive constituents including a monohydric alcohol, a polyhydric alcohol, a saturated dialdehyde and a cationic surface active agent in proportion by weight to reduce the surface tension of the bacterial spore wall, penetrate the bacterial spore wall and kill the nuclei of the bacterial spores and other target organisms without the need of removing residue.

Abstract: A non-toxic, non-corrosive, biodegradable disinfectant for use against various pathogenic organisms comprising a homogeneous composition of interactive constituents including anhydrous alcohol, in particular, isopropyl alcohol, propylene glycol, maskant and inert ingredients wherein the propylene glycol reduces the surface glaze formed by the anhydrous alcohol and surface tension formed by water or water-based body fluids enabling the disinfectant to rapidly contact the pathogenic organisms.
