DECONTAMINATION SYSTEM USING FORCED AIR AND METHODS OF USING THE SAME

The invention is directed towards a system and method for decontaminating a device. The system comprises a chamber defining an enclosed space and includes a pump. The enclosed space is configured to withstand pressure changes within the space and receive a device that includes a lumen. The system includes a controller configured to control a temperature and pressure within the chamber, a vacuum pump in fluid communication with the enclosed space, and a source of a decontaminating substance. A vaporizer or atomizer is in fluid communication with the source of the decontaminating substance and is configured to provide a vaporized decontaminating substance within the enclosed space. The pump has an inlet and an outlet. One of the inlet and outlet is in fluid communication with the enclosed space of the chamber and the other of the inlet and outlet is configured to be in fluid communication with the lumen. 本发明涉及用于净化装置的系统和方法。所述系统包括限定封闭空间的腔室并且包括泵。所述封闭空间被配置成耐受所述空间内的压力变化并且收纳包括管腔的装置。所述系统包括：控制器，所述控制器被配置成控制所述腔室内的温度和压力；真
