Claim Text:
1. A decontaminator for decontaminating a device having an interior space that is used to culture cells, manipulate microorganisms, or perform a sterility test, the decontaminator comprising: an ultrasonic atomizer for atomizing a peracetic acid disinfectant by using ultrasonic oscillation to discharge droplets; a diffusion fan; a temperature-humidity sensor; and a controller, wherein the ultrasonic atomizer and temperature-humidity sensor are configured to be placed within the interior space of the device that is to be decontaminated, wherein the controller has an automatic decontamination-period-calculating function that calculates a decontamination period time based only on the temperature and humidity in the device to be decontaminated, wherein the ultrasonic atomizer is configured to display a low chemical level, suspend the atomizing operation, and immediately stop counting down the decontamination period time if the device is performing decontamination when an amount of a chemical decreases to a value below necessary amount, wherein the ultrasonic atomizer is configured to pause a restart of the atomizing after the chemical is replenished above the necessary amount, and wherein after a set humidity is reached, the ultrasonic atomizer is configured to start counting down rest of the decontamination period time.
