Abstract: A machine for cold sanification of medical devices includes a sanification chamber adapted to house at least one medical device to be treated, a first delivery system supplying one or more sanification fluids and having a plurality of hydraulic circuits each having a drawing conduit for the sanification fluids connectable to a respective reservoir and a plurality of delivering conduits connected with the sanification chamber for introducing the pressurized fluids therein, a second delivery system fluidically connecting one or more of the drawing conduits with corresponding inner channels of a device housed into the sanification chamber. The first delivery system includes a central collector interposed between the drawing conduits and the delivering conduits, which receive from the first the fluids and supply to each of the delivering conduits the sanification fluids at substantially the same pressure.

Abstract: A cold sterilizer, for deterging/decontaminating, sterilizing, drying and storing until the time of use medical devices, optionally the thermo-labile ones, in particular flexible and rigid endoscopes for surgical and diagnostic use, suitable for operating with sterilizing agents effective in the range 20-35° C.

Abstract: A machine for the cold sanification of medical devices comprises at least one sanification chamber (2) adapted to housing at least one medical device to be treated, means (3) for supplying one or more sanification fluids comprising a plurality of hydraulic circuits (4, 4?, 4?) each having a drawing conduit (5, 5?, 5?) for the sanification fluids connectable to a respective reservoir (S, S\ S?) and a plurality of delivering conduits (6, 6?, 6?, . . . ) connected with the sanification chamber (2) for introducing the pressurized fluids therein, means (7) for fluidically connecting one or more of the drawing conduits (6, 6?, 6?, . . . ) with corresponding inner channels of the device housed into the sanification chamber (2). The supplying means (3) comprise a central collector (9) interposed between the drawing conduits (5, 5?, 5?) and the delivering conduits (6, 6?, 6?, . . . ) for receiving from the first the fluids an to supply to each of the delivering conduits (6, 6?, 6?, . . .

Abstract: A chemical compound having the following structural formula wherein optionally at least one of the phenyl —C6H5 groups bound to the Carbon atoms in position 2 and 6 is independently substituted with a methyl —CH3 or ethyl —C2H5 group, and wherein optionally the ?CH2 group in position 10 is substituted with a sulphinyl ?SO or sulphonyl ?SO2 group. Subject-matter of the invention is also a process of manufacture of 2,6-diphenyl-4,8-diazoadamantan-1-one and the use of this chemical compound and above-mentioned derivatives thereof as components for the formulation of solutions with sterilizing and disinfectant effect. The figure shows the IR spectrum of 2,6-diphenyl-4,8-diazoadamantan-1-one.

Abstract: The subject matter of the present invention is the adamantane 5,7-diphenyl-1,3-diazoadamantan-6-one derivative per se and the aqueous disinfectant compositions, characterized in that they contain this molecule, and/or the molecule of at least another adamantane derivative, associated in particular with peracetic acid. The disinfectant compositions according to the invention can be utilized as such or water-diluted at the time of use. The disinfectant compositions according to the invention are sporicidal, bactericidal, fungicidal and virucidal for very short contact times.

Abstract: Process for the preparation of complexes of iodine with chitosan or derivatives thereof, and the iodinated compounds thus obtainable. Said compounds take form of powders, which may contain over 60% of iodine in its elementary form. In a dry state the iodine bound to the chitosan or derivatives thereof does not sublimate. If the percentage content of iodine does not exceed 50 % (by weight), said powders can be dissolved in aqueous solvents of an acid type, such as, for example, diluted acetic acid or glutamic acid. Said solutions are compatible with addition of surfactants, preferably of a non-ionic type, which improve the solubility of the chitosan-iodine complex. Solutions with identical characteristics can, alternatively, be prepared by solubilizing, heating if necessary the iodine in a suitable surfactant, preferably non-ionic, and adding this solution under rapid stirring to the chitosan derivatives thereof, dissolved in water, optionally in the presence of acids or salts.
