OBJECT DISINFECTING AND STERILIZING APPARATUS Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC A61L2/10 A61L2/20 A61L2/22 

FIELD: disinfection and sterilization of medical designation objects such as complex-shape tools for surgery, stomatology, tubular members and articles such as endoscopes, laparoscopes, catheters and so on objects including thermolabile articles.

SUBSTANCE: apparatus for disinfecting and sterilizing includes chamber whose inner surface reflects UV -irradiation; pulse UV-lamps arranged inside chamber in quartz tubes by rows (at least two lamps in each row); latticed trays for treated objects; electric power source connected through high-voltage conductors with pulse UV-lamps; automatic control unit made with possibility for setting repetition frequency of high-voltage pulses of power source; device for spraying antiseptic matter. Said device is communicated through pipelines with antiseptic matter sprayers mounted on inner surface of chamber in such a way that aerosol provided by them in chamber may perform vortex motions. Sterilized ozonated air created by cooling of pulse lamps is fed inside working chamber. Biologically active aerosol-gas mixture generated at sterilization process is pumped through inner cavities of treated object.

EFFECT: shortened time period for sterilizing and disinfecting, possibility for treating complex-shape objects with deep cavities and tubular objects.
