Abstract: The present disclosure discusses a sterilization system having a dosing module with a dosing cylinder to allow for metered flow of a predetermined amount of sterilant fluid into the sterilization system. The dosing module can include a dosing cylinder for measuring the predetermined amount of sterilant fluid, a pump for moving the sterilant fluid, and a controller configured to initiate driving of the sterilant fluid through the dosing module and into the sterilization system. A method of providing a predetermined amount of sterilant fluid to the sterilization system can include controlling the flow of sterilant fluid into the dosing cylinder, measuring the amount of sterilant fluid in the dosing cylinder to a desired dose amount, and controlling flow of the dose into the sterilization system.

Abstract: Various examples disclosed relate to a device for use in a disinfection process. The device can include, for example, a sampling assembly capable of a first position and a second position, wherein the sampling assembly is configured to be used inside a sterilization system. The sampling assembly can include a top portion, a bottom portion, at least one seal therebetween such that the top portion and the bottom portion form an airtight compartment when in the first position, a central pin running through the top portion and bottom portion, and an actuator configured to move the sampling assembly between the first position and the second position along the central pin during a portion of the disinfection process, such that the sampling assembly can collect a sample of atmosphere within the disinfection system.

Abstract: A method of reprocessing a lumen device is provided. The method includes the step of placing a lumen device with a proximal lumen end and a distal lumen end in a vacuum chamber. Liquid is purged from one or more channels of the lumen device by introducing a pressure differential at the first lumen end. Next, a decontamination fluid is delivered through the second lumen end of the lumen device.

Abstract: A decontamination system for a device, such as a lumen device is provided. The decontamination system includes a terminal package dimensioned to receive a device for decontamination. A decontamination chamber is provided that is dimensioned to receive the terminal package. The system includes a sterilant fluid delivery device configured to deliver a sterilant fluid to the decontamination chamber. A pressure pulse generator is included that is configured to generate flow oscillations in one or more of the terminal package or the decontamination chamber.
