    Field of Invention
    [001] Generally speaking, the present invention relates to the ozone gas treatment of medical devices, more particularly, devices, systems and methods using agents or gas, such as ozone gas, for the cleaning, disinfection and sterilization of devices. medical personnel in an ozone device with multiple cleaning, disinfecting and sterilizing properties, with one or more receptacles, and receiving ports and chambers to facilitate cleaning, disinfection and sterilization of medical devices, medical instruments and medical passages such as hoses and/or tubes. Background of the Invention
    [002] Medical devices, medical instruments and medical accessories (collectively “medical devices”) require a variety of degrees of cleaning, disinfection and sterilization to prevent bacterial and fungal accumulation and for the safe use of the devices within and between patients. many different. There are several types of medical devices that have multiple parts/parts and accessories that require cleaning, disinfection and/or sterilization including, without limitation, hoses, tubes, face masks, probes, compartments, reservoirs, irrigation systems, pumps and other accessories.
    [003] Current devices, systems and methods for preparing medical devices for use and/or reuse have proven to be tiring and difficult for users, hospitals and other medical device service providers. Devices often require daily and weekly maintenance steps to prevent the buildup of bacteria and mold/fungus, requiring each part of the device to be individually cleaned, something that is difficult and time consuming for users on a daily or weekly basis. Other cleaning methods include immersing the component parts of a medical device in solvents or mixtures, for example vinegar and water to disinfect the component parts.
    [004] Due to the inherent nature of various medical devices with regard to collecting bacteria and fungi, a number of other products are made available to consumers to make the medical device safe for use, including, but not limited to, sprays. , UV light devices, cleaning wipes and cleaning brushes.
    [005] Ozone gas is potent and efficient for removing odors, impurities and dangerous pathogens, working to switch electron charges with particles that the ozone comes into contact with to form oxygen, O2, from the unstable ozone O3. This process is particularly useful for air and water purification and for killing bacteria and microorganisms that ozone comes in contact with. Ozonators can be used to create ozone from oxygen molecules, often by applying ultraviolet light to the oxygen.
    [006] Ozone gas is made from oxygen molecules that have been ionized through radiation to form groups of three oxygen atoms, O3, and can be created, for example, in a device, using an ozonator, air, and the application of ultraviolet light to convert oxygen into ozone gas. However, while ozone gas is a potent cleaning, disinfecting and sterilizing gas, ozone gas must be contained and controlled as it is not safe for users to breathe until it has been safely converted back to oxygen. . The amount of time it takes for ozone to be safely converted from ozone to oxygen varies significantly based on the amount of ozone used in a treatment cycle, in some embodiments ranging from 1 minute to 24 hours.
    [007] It is a long-awaited need in the art to provide a device, systems and methods that can treat medical devices and medical device passages with a device using ozone gas, requiring minimal disassembly and yet treatment of parts. applications, all in a more connected, closed loop system for safe ozone gas treatment use and user-friendliness. There is an additional need to provide connector units for a variety of medical devices and medical device gateways for ozone gas treatment.
    [008] The present invention relates to a device, system and method for cleaning, disinfecting and sterilizing medical devices, the system comprising a device with an ozone operating system; a distribution line in fluid communication with the ozone operating system to receive and distribute ozone gas; a first receptacle over the device, wherein the delivery line is coupled in fluid communication to the first receptacle for releasing ozone gas; a connection unit, wherein the connection unit is configured to be in fluid communication at the proximal end of the first receptacle on the device and in fluid communication at the distal end to a proximal end of a hose in one embodiment, and in another embodiment to be in fluid communication with a second receptacle on the device, and in another embodiment to be in fluid communication with a proximal end of a medical device; and an exhaust port configured to be in fluid communication with the distal end of the hose such that ozone gas passes through the fluid passage and is exhausted.

It is intended herein that all such systems, methods, apparatus features, and additional advantages included within this specification and description are within the scope of the present invention, and that they are protected by the accompanying claims.
