Patent number: 11027032Abstract: A method for sterilizing an antiseptic solution includes providing a container containing the antiseptic solution, the antiseptic solution having an initial purity, selecting a sterilization temperature from about 85° C. to about 135° C. and an sterilization time from about 1 minute to about 19 hours, heating the antiseptic solution to the selected sterilization temperature, maintaining the temperature for the selected sterilization time, and terminating the heating of the antiseptic solution when the sterilization time expires. After terminating the heating, the antiseptic solution has a post-sterilization purity. The sterilization temperature and the sterilization time are selected such that after terminating the heating, the antiseptic solution is sterile and has a post-sterilization purity of at least about 92% and the percentage point change in purity from the initial purity to the post-sterilization purity is at most about 5%.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2014Date of Patent: June 8, 2021Assignee: CAREFUSION 2200, INC.Inventors: Satish Degala, Christopher Matthew McGinley, Kenneth Bruce Thurmond, II

Patent number: 10645927Abstract: A nonwoven wipe comprises an antiseptic solution comprising a bis-(dihydropyridinyl)-decane derivative, a first fiber having a denier of about 1.5 to about 2.0, and a second fiber having a denier of about 3.0 to 3.5. About 30 wt % to 70 wt % of the total weight of the nonwoven wipe is the first fiber and about 30 wt % to 70 wt % of the total weight of the nonwoven wipe is the second fiber. The bis-(dihydropyridinyl)-decane may be octenidine dihydrochloride.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2018Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: CAREFUSION 2200, INC.Inventors: Ramarao V. Gundlapalli, Hong Shen, Kenneth Bruce Thurmond, II, Christopher Varga

Patent number: 9757551Abstract: An applicator assembly may include a body having a proximal end portion and a distal end portion, an actuator operatively coupled to the body, a container disposed within the body, an application member attached to the distal end portion, and a valve disposed between the container and the application member. Actuation of the actuator opens the valve and places the interior of the container in fluid communication with the application member by way of a compressive force applied to the body. A method of applying a solution to a surface may include actuating the actuator, wherein actuation of the actuator applies a compressive force to the body that opens the valve and places the interior of the container in fluid communication with the application member, and contacting the application member to the surface, thereby applying the solution to the surface.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2013Date of Patent: September 12, 2017Assignee: CAREFUSION 2200, INC.Inventors: Satish Degala, Kenneth Bruce Thurmond, II, Kenneth Michael Dokken, Aishwarya Vaidyanathan, Angel Magallon, David A. Parrott, Benjamin T. Krupp
