DEVICES, SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TREATING MEDICAL DEVICES HAVING PASSAGEWAYS WITH OZONE GAS
First Claim
1. An ozone treatment system comprising:
- an ozone operating system;
a first receptacle fluidly coupled to the ozone operating system, the first receptacle configured to receive ozone gas from the ozone operating system and to fluidly couple to a proximal end of an ozone conveyance line, said ozone conveyance line further comprising a distal end; and
a gas tight compartment comprising;
a lid and base comprising at least one wall, said lid and said at least one wall defining a cavity; and
a second receptacle configured to receive and engage with an intermediate portion of said ozone conveyance line so as to form a gas tight seal with the distal end of said ozone conveyance line disposed within said cavity, wherein said intermediate portion is between said proximal end and said distal end of said hose;
wherein said ozone operating system is configured to generate ozone gas for conveyance to said cavity of said gas tight compartment by said ozone conveyance line.
