Abstract: Provided are methods for testing aerosol material compatibility of various samples to disinfectants, decontaminates, and other such materials that are used as aerosols. A test is performed in a controlled environment, such as an aerosol chamber, using a specific set of test parameters representative of actual use of tested materials, such as dispensing parameters and exposure parameters. During the test, a test surface of the sample is exposed to an aerosol mist. Other surfaces may be protected. After exposure to the aerosol mist, the sample may be allowed to sit for a period of time. The sample is later cleaned and tested to determine effects of various materials in the mist on the sample. In some embodiments, some or all operations may be repeated for the same sample or different samples. The test parameters may be varied to determine compatibility limits.

Abstract: Devices and systems are provided for the remote monitoring of physiological parameters of a patient. An exemplary wireless physiological monitoring device comprises a substrate formed of a flexible biocompatible material. The substrate has a surface for affixing to the skin of a patient. A wireless data transmission device, a biosensor, and a power source are integrated with the substrate. The biosensor is configured to measure a physiological parameter. Flexible conductors are integrated with the substrate and are configured to electrically couple the biosensor and the power source with the data transmission device.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for decontaminating at least a portion of an object. A misting device is configured to discharge a cloud formed from a plurality of cloud droplets. At least some of the cloud droplets include a decontaminating agent. A spraying device is configured to discharge a stream including a plurality of stream droplets into the cloud. At least some of the stream droplets have an electrostatic charge. At least some of the cloud droplets are deposited on the portion of the object to facilitate decontaminating the portion.
