Abstract: Techniques for stethoscope sanitation are disclosed. In one particular embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a system for stethoscope sanitation including a first dispensing nozzle positioned to dispense a sanitization fluid on a first surface of a stethoscope, a second dispensing nozzle positioned to dispense the sanitization fluid on a second surface of a stethoscope, a first sensor configured to detect the presence of the stethoscope within a close proximity of the first dispensing nozzle and to detect the presence of the stethoscope within a close proximity of the second dispensing nozzle, and a pump configured to receive the sanitization fluid from a sanitization fluid receptacle and to provide the sanitization fluid to the first dispensing nozzle and the second dispensing nozzle. The techniques may include a microcontroller configured to receive a signal from the first sensor and initiating pumping in response to reception of the signal.

Abstract: Techniques for providing a secondary path for sanitization fluid are disclosed. In one particular embodiment, the techniques may be realized as an apparatus providing an additional sanitization fluid dispensing path. The additional sanitization fluid dispensing path may include a sealing housing which may include a sealing ring, the sealing ring having a first opening for holding a first sanitization fluid dispensing path, a perimeter ring wall connected at one end to the sealing ring and arranged substantially perpendicular to the sealing ring, wherein the perimeter ring wall is configured to fasten the sealing ring to a sanitization fluid container, and a sealed cavity configured to accept an adapter to conduct sanitization fluid, wherein acceptance of the adapter opens the sealed cavity to form a second sanitization fluid dispensing path.
