ABSTRACT:
A door (B) of a countertop decontamination unit (A) is opened to gain access to a well (20) for receiving an anti-microbial agent carrying cup (D). A knife blade assembly (E) includes a central shaft (30) which supports a blade (40). The blade has cutting edges (46) extending in a sloped manner downward from an apex portion (42) of the blade. The blade is divided into two blade sections (44) by the shaft. The cutting edges have beveled peripheral edges which face the front of each blade section. The blades has a curvilinear configuration that defines oppositely facing upper and lower cam surfaces (50, 52). The central shaft has apertures (34a, 34b, 34c) communicating between a shaft interior passage 32 and the outside of the shaft for providing jets of fluid to the inside of the reagent cup for dissolving and flushing the reagent material from the cup. The curved configuration of the blades deflect fluid flow from the apertures into the reagent cup.
