Abstract:
A method and system to improve asepsis during dental delivery includes a self-contained water delivery apparatus and a vacuum apparatus both of which provide disinfection of biohazards occurring during dental procedures. A UVC LED light emitting unit, with sanitary connections, may be releasably connected to the delivery and vacuum apparatus for improved maintenance and cleaning. A reservoir egress connector provides releasable engagement, fluid agitation, and unrestricted UV light transmission to improve water quality, reduce biofilm water contamination, reduce cross contamination, and reduce the potential spread of pathogens. The mounting system for the UVC LED light unit allows the apparatus to be used to decontaminate portable dental delivery units and vacuum units upon closure. A reflective interior of the cases improves irradiation of the enclosed system, reducing the risk and spread of pathogens.

Claim (Index 1):
A device to improve asepsis during dental delivery comprising:\n a transportable dental delivery case comprising a base mount assembly and a self-contained water delivery apparatus, wherein said base mount assembly is symmetrical having an upper connection assembly and a lower connection assembly;\n said base mount assembly comprising a light emitting diode light unit emitting light having a wavelength between 270 nm and 280 nm, said light emitting diode light unit being releasably engaged to said base mount assembly; \n said self-contained water delivery apparatus comprising a reservoir positioned above and engaged to said light emitting diode light unit, said reservoir comprising an interior, said reservoir being constructed and arranged to contain a liquid to be treated with said light immediately prior to transfer to a dental device, said liquid being disposed in said interior; and \n a reservoir egress assembly, said reservoir egress assembly being releasably engaged to said reservoir opposite to said light emitting diode light unit, said reservoir egress assembly comprising an air conduit and a fluid conduit, said air conduit comprising a first UV transparent tube being formed of quartz or glass, said first UV transparent tube being disposed in said interior, and said fluid conduit comprising a second UV transparent tube formed of quartz or glass, said second UV transparent tube being disposed in said interior, said first UV transparent tube not being disposed to the interior of said second UV transparent tube within said reservoir and said second UV transparent tube not being disposed to the interior of said first UV transparent tube within said reservoir, wherein said first UV transparent tube is constructed and arranged to provide agitation to said liquid for ultra-violet germicidal irradiation of said liquid.
