Publication number: 20240027007Abstract: A fluid connector is provided. The fluid connector can include a first connector having a first passageway and a second passageway; and a second connector having a third passageway and a fourth passageway. The first connector can be attracted to the second connector through a magnetic force, thereby forming the fluid connector. Moreover, when the first connector abuts the second connector, the first passageway together with the third passageway can form a first fluid path, and the second passageway together with the fourth passageway can form a second fluid path that is different from the first fluid path.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 18, 2023Publication date: January 25, 2024Applicant: Northstar Medical Technologies, LLCInventors: Dorian Lust, Kirsten Brokish

Patent number: 11840464Abstract: A novel cell for generating ozonated water, the cell comprises a nafion membrane separating a diamond coated anode, and a gold surfaced cathode enclosed within a cell housing with the catalyst side of the nafion membrane facing the cathode. The cell housing has a cathode housing portion and an anode housing portion separated by the membrane, each housing portion having ridges to enhance substantially even flow of fluid over the cathode and anode. The housing portions contain O-rings in grooves to prevent leaks, and alignment features to keep the electrodes aligned. The cathode and anode have an array of holes allowing fluid to penetrate to the surface of the niobium membrane. Input ports allow fluid to flow into the housing and over the anode and cathode and then out of the housing through outlet ports. The housing may also incorporate an integrated spectral photometer including a bubble trap.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2022Date of Patent: December 12, 2023Assignee: Northstar Medical Technologies, LLCInventor: Dorian Lust

Patent number: 11396462Abstract: A novel cell for generating ozonated water including an integrated ozone concentration detector. The cell comprises a nafion membrane separating a diamond coated anode, and a gold surfaced cathode enclosed within a cell housing with the catalyst side of the nafion membrane facing the cathode. The cell housing has a cathode housing portion and an anode housing portion separated by the membrane. The cathode and anode have an array of holes allowing fluid to penetrate to the surface of the niobium membrane. Ozonated water from the anode is channeled to a spectrophotometer integrated within the housing. The spectrophotometer creates a signal representative of the ozone concentration in the ozonated water which is utilized by control circuitry in a closed loop to maintain a stable target concentration. A bubble trap may be integrated within the housing through which the ozonated water passes before entering the spectrophotometer to remove bubbles form the ozonated water.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2019Date of Patent: July 26, 2022Assignee: Northstar Medical Technologies, LLCInventor: Dorian Lust

Patent number: 11390541Abstract: A novel system for generating ozonated water, for example, for sterilization of medical equipment. The system comprises an ozone generating cell including a nafion membrane separating an anode, and a cathode enclosed within a cell housing. The cell housing has a cathode housing portion and an anode housing portion separated by the membrane. The housing also incorporates an integrated spectrophotometer including a bubble trap. The system includes a hydrogen water reservoir for receiving water from the cathode and an ozone water reservoir for receiving generated ozonated water from the anode. Control circuitry controls a set of pumps, and controls ozone generation in a closed loop using the spectrophotometer to provide a selected ozone concentration in the ozonated water from the anode. An output port coupled to the ozone water reservoir allows ozonated water to flow out of the system for external use.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2019Date of Patent: July 19, 2022Assignee: Northstar Medical Technologies, LLCInventor: Dorian Lust
