Abstract
Portable device for biological wastes disinfection by sequential application of different disinfecting compounds comprising an upper opening, a cover preventing residual gases of the disinfection from being released and at least one side wall comprising: a programmable metering unit, at least two disinfecting compound dispensers, a residual liquid ejecting element, at least one projection inside thereof and handles at the side wall. On the other hand, a method for disinfection of biological wastes by means of the device described above, based on the sequential application of different compounds by at least a metering unit being installed in the device that allows determining the time for the disinfection cycle and the appropriate dose of the compound, and warning of the end of the process so as to eliminate the residual liquid by means of the ejecting element of the device.
Description
DEVICE FOR BIOLOGICAL WASTES DISINFECTION
OBJECT OF THE INVENTION The present invention may be included in the technical field of apparatuses or methods for disinfection and/or sterilization of different materials or compounds, particularly for disinfection and/or sterilization of biological wastes. More specifically, the object of the invention refers to a portable device and a biological waste disinfection method by sequential application of different disinfecting compounds in an amount and time being defined by the user by means of a programmable metering unit. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
In research centres, clinical trials laboratories, or hospitals, among others, there are biological wastes being generated which cannot be treated as other common wastes; thereby these need disinfection and/or sterilization processes being suitable for the nature thereof. The necessary requirements for applying most disinfection and/or sterilization methods differ from each other, but the majority of them involve high costs.
Most solutions for handling and disinfecting biological wastes generated in clinics, hospitals and laboratories are intended for big volumes, and include methods such as incineration, ozone, microwave, biocatalyst, metal ionization, among others, which are quantified in costly solutions as it is described in documents such as US6921515 or in US20040022679. Therefore, taking into account the previous documents it is necessary to find alternatives directed to find disinfection and/or sterilization devices being simple, less expensive than the current solutions, faster and portable.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The invention refers to a portable device that provides for an easier disinfection process for the biological wastes generated in clinical laboratories, by means of sequential application of different compounds and substances, preferably chemical compounds, at suitable doses for carrying out the disinfection. Upon finishing the disinfection process, the biological wastes may be considered as common wastes, and as such, they could be delivered to the municipal waste collection system. Thus, the wastes do not compromise the population health.
Therefore, an aspect of the present invention refers to a portable device for biological waste disinfection comprising:
- at least a closed side wall with a base,
- an opening at the upper side,
- a programmable metering unit located at the side wall,
- at least two disinfecting compounds dispensers located at the side wall,
- a residual liquid ejecting component located at the side wall,
- at least a projection located inside the device that allows fixing the wastes,
- elements for gripping and carrying the device being located at the side wall of the device, and
- a cover having elements for coupling thereof to the side wall of the device,
wherein the programmable metering unit works together with the disinfecting compounds dispensers. In an embodiment the closed side wall comprises four sides being attached to each other by means of edges.
In another preferred embodiment the disinfecting compounds are chemical compounds in the form of tablets.
In another preferred embodiment the programmable metering unit comprises a battery for the operation thereof.
In another preferred embodiment the ejecting component is a manual ejecting element. Another aspect of the present invention refers to a method for the disinfection of biological wastes comprising the following steps:
(a) introducing the biological wastes into the device described above,
(b) disinfecting the wastes form step (a) by adding a sequential dose of the disinfecting compound or compounds during the appropriate time by means of the programmable metering unit, and
(c) eliminating the liquid generated in step (b) by means of the ejecting element. DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
FIG 1 - Front view of the inside of the disinfection device.
FIG 2 - Front view of the disinfection device being closed. PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
The following is the description of a preferred embodiment based on the attached figures. FIG 1 - It is a front view of the inside of the disinfection device (1 ) characterized in that it comprises two handles (2a and 2b) at the side walls of the device and a metering unit (3) and two dispensers (4 and 5) at the front wall that allows
programming the chemicals dosing by means of the dispensers, the length of the disinfection cycle and warning of the end thereof so as to eliminate the residual liquids by means of the ejecting element (8). The inner area (6) thereof, where the wastes are deposited, comprises fastening projections (7).
FIG 2 - It is a front view of the disinfection device closed with a cover (9) with elements (10a, 10b, 10c and 10d) for coupling thereof to the disinfection device. It also shows a handle (2b) and the manual ejecting element (8) at the right side wall of the device and a metering unit (3) and two dispensers (4 and 5) at the front wall.
