  • Patent number: 9726652
    Abstract: A chemical indicator device for use in detecting exposure to an oxidizing agent, such as hydrogen peroxide, comprising a substrate or support upon which is disposed a chemical indicator composition (ink) for detecting an oxidizing agent, such as hydrogen peroxide. The chemical indicator composition further comprises an indicator dye that achieves a distinct range of different color changes with clear transitions between colors, upon exposure to different doses of the oxidizing agent, thus allowing for both a qualitative and semi-quantitative assessment of exposure to the agent.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 10, 2014
    Date of Patent: August 8, 2017
    Assignee: STERIS, INC.

  • Patent number: 8739414
    Abstract: A multi-purpose utility tool which may include an elongated body member configured to slidably house a tool bit mounting device inside of the body member. The body member may be operable to receive the tool bit from within the body member and to expose the tool bit for use outside of the body member. The tool may also include a support device slidably cooperating within the body member. The support device may cooperate with the mounting device for rotatably holding the mounting device within the body member. In addition, the tool may include a locking device which also slidably cooperates within the body member. The locking device may also slidably mate with the support device and lock the support device within the body member at a desired location within the body member.
