Abstract:
1. A disinfecting system for using solution and a catalyst to disinfect an object, said disinfecting system comprising: a cup configured to retain the solution therein; and a cap assembly engageable with the cup and configured to retain the object as well as the catalyst, said cap assembly comprising a shiftable member which is shiftable between a first position for sealing the disinfecting system and a second position for venting the disinfecting system, wherein the disinfecting system is configured such that pressure within a reaction chamber increases as a result of the solution reacting to the catalyst, during which time additive effect enhances disinfection of the object, and during which time the shiftable member is in said first position, wherein the disinfecting system is configured such that pressure within the reaction chamber further increases, thereby causing the shiftable member to shift from the first position to the second position, thereby causing venting of the reaction chamber, wherein the shiftable member comprises a plunger.
