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, and a control spring in contact with the shiftable member when the shiftable member is in the second position and configured to bias the shiftable member from the second position to the first position, wherein the disinfecting system configured such that pressure within the disinfecting system 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 disinfecting system further increases, thereby causing the shiftable member to shift from the first position to the second position, thereby causing venting of the disinfecting system, and wherein the disinfecting system is configured such that pressure within the disinfecting system decreases during venting, thereby causing the control spring to push the shiftable member from the second position to the first position, thereby causing resealing of the disinfecting system.
