NAMRU San Antonio conducts usability testing of portable ozone sterilizer

JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO – FORT SAM HOUSTON – (April 3, 2026) – U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Jason Stokes, of Fort Cambell, Ky., an instructor with the Animal Health Branch, Division of Veterinary Science, U.S. Army Medical Department Center and School, participated in a usability test of the Rugged Ozone Sterilization System Model M1 (ROSS M1). During the month of April, NAMRU San Antonio research engineers visited with dental and veterinary science instructors to test the usability of the ROSS M1. The ROSS M1 is a portable device with the capability of sterilizing medical instruments on the battlefield or in austere environments which will help in the treatment and recovery of wounded warfighters. Navy Medicine Research & Development (NMR&D) employs highly qualified medical researchers and works alongside a wide range of research and development partners to keep abreast of best practices and advances in medical knowledge on behalf of Navy Medicine to increase warfighter lethality. NAMRU San Antonio, part of NMR&D, conducts gap-driven combat casualty care, craniofacial, and directed energy research in support of Navy, Marine Corps and joint U.S. warfighter health readiness and lethality while engaged in routine and expeditionary operations.
