    Abstract: A momentum arresting ramp that includes a plurality of steps that each includes a slider receiving surface and a transition surface. The steps may enable a device with wheels to be moved down the ramp by a user, without inconvenient gravity building momentum of the device down the ramp. For example, the steps may be spaced apart along a first axis such that a first slider of the device is never in contact with one of the transition surfaces when a second slider of the device is in contact with another one of the transition surfaces. The configuration of the steps and the sliders may enable the device (e.g., a device heavy enough to typically require two users to unload using a planar ramp) to be easily and conveniently unloaded by a single user.

    Abstract: A process for determining the viability of a biological indicator includes exposing the biological indicator to a viability detection medium, the biological indicator including test microorganisms, the exposing the biological indicator to the viability detection medium producing a gaseous reaction product when one or more of the test microorganisms are viable. The presence or absence of the gaseous reaction product produced by the biological indicator combined with the viability detection medium is detected with a sensing device, the sensing device comprising a resistive sensor, wherein the presence of the gaseous reaction product indicates the presence of viable test microorganisms and the absence of the gaseous reaction product indicates the absence of viable test microorganisms. A sterilization detection device includes a container configured to contain the biological indicator, a viability detection medium, and the sensing device.

    Abstract: A surgical lighting apparatus for illuminating a surgical environment includes a lighthead and a control unit. The control unit is configured to receive data from sensors positioned in one or more light emitting modules and identify, from the received data, an obstruction inhibiting delivery of a predetermined amount of light from one or more of light emitting elements of moveable light emitting modules to corresponding areas of a surgical site. The lighthead is configured to illuminate the surgical site. The lighthead includes a plurality of the light emitting modules and the sensors. Each of the light emitting modules includes a plurality of the light emitting elements positioned on a front side thereof. Each of the light emitting elements is configured to emit the predetermined amount of light from the light emitting modules to illuminate one of the corresponding areas of the surgical site.

    Abstract: This invention relates to a process and an aqueous composition for killing spores. The process comprises contacting the spores with the aqueous composition for a sufficient period of time to effect a desired reduction (e.g., at least a 4 log reduction) in the number of spores capable of reproduction, metabolism and/or growth. The aqueous composition comprises water, peracetic acid and hydrogen peroxide. The concentration of peracetic acid in the water may be in the range from about 0.001 to about 60% by weight, or from about 0.001 to about 0.5% by weight. The weight ratio of peracetic acid to hydrogen peroxide may be in the range from about 0.001 to about 0.5.

    Abstract: A method for pressurizing a sterilization chamber of a steam sterilizer with a controlled rate of pressure change. Pressure is increased in the sterilization chamber by opening a steam-to-chamber valve for a pulse duration during each of a plurality of time PERIODS needed to reach a target pressure value. During each time PERIOD, the steam-to-chamber valve is moved to an open state for the duration of the pulse. An error value indicative of the difference between a Theoretical Pressure and a Measured Pressure is determined at the end of each PERIOD. This error value is used to determine the duration of the pulse for the subsequent PERIOD, thereby maintaining a desired rate of pressure change in the sterilization chamber.
