Abstract: A manifold for connection to a waste collection vacuum device. The manifold includes suction port tubes and a vacuum port that define interconnected fluid communication pathways such that no walls define proximal and distal ends of the manifold. Tabs are coupled to at least one of the interconnected fluid communication pathways. The tabs interface with keyed surfaces of the waste collection vacuum device so as to facilitate positive location and mechanical fixation with the waste collection vacuum device. The manifold may include a body, and a flow director may be disposed within the body. A filter element may also be disposed within the body and include a distal section having a cross-sectional area less than a cross-sectional area of a proximal section. Each of the distal and proximal sections may define apertures configured to trap liquid, semi-solid, or solid waste within the fluid path.

Abstract: Medical waste collection manifolds that that may connect to a vacuum system to create suction, such that liquid, semi-solid, or solid biological or medical waste may be collected are provided. The manifold may be configured to collect hazardous waste in a manner to ensure proper containment.

Abstract: An internal lumen disinfection device has a case, a power source, a UV lamp, a plurality of light transmitting connectors and at least one light transmitting tube. The case has a lid or cover and an elongated base configured to hold one or more surgical endoscopes in a disinfecting portion and a power and UV lamp housing portion adjacent the disinfecting portion. A battery or electrical power source is in the housing portion. The UV lamp is in the housing portion connected to and powered by the power source. The case has a divider wall with openings for passing UV light. The plurality of light transmitting connectors are each affixed to the divider wall at an opening. At least one light transmitting tube, preferably a plurality of light transmitting tubes are used to disinfect lumens of endoscopes.
