Publication number: 20240246126Abstract: An apparatus and method for disinfecting probes. A probe may be positioned using a probe positioning system that locates the probe in the proper location for disinfecting. The probe may be subjected to a cleaner and/or rinsing liquid to remove foreign materials (e.g., bioburden, soil, and other like material) from the probe before disinfecting. After rinsing, a disinfectant is applied to the probe via one or more nozzles. The disinfectant is applied to the probe for a specified amount of time to disinfect the surface of the probe, and afterwards the probe is rinsed thoroughly to remove the disinfectant from the probe. The rinsing liquid and the disinfectant liquid are held in separate fluid circuits, yet heated to their respective ideal temperatures using the same heater assembly, the heater assembly having heating element shared by both fluid circuits.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2024Publication date: July 25, 2024Applicant: CS MEDICAL, LLCInventors: John Martin Jans, Michael Wayne Guin, Andrew Justin Fiest, Mark Ronald Hoffmann, Charles Adam Langley
