Filed:

Aug 12, 2013

Appl. No.:

13/964874

Inventors:

Samuel Richard Trapani - Rochester NY, US

International Classification:

A61L 2/10
A61L 2/24

US Classification:

422 3, 250432 R

Abstract:

A sterilization system consisting of a mobile emitter, a sensing subsystem and a data logging subsystem is described. The emitter has one or more UV emitting lamps or devices. The sensing system comprises at least one remote UV sensor and at least one door sensor. The door sensor comprises a safety shut off door detector and may contain an emergency stop detector and arming detector to protect people from being exposed to UV energy. The system has a remote control for starting, stopping and setting system parameters which include but are not limited to: treatment time, dosage, room size, room number, unit number, floor, facility name, operator name, operator identification number, password, default dosage values, dosage, and patient identification number. The number of treatments per unit of time can be maximized because of the use of incident light measurement.

Abstract:

Method and disinfection system for disinfecting a closed space or surface including light fixtures fixedly positioned at predefined locations in a closed space. The disinfection system includes a UV emitter module positioned over a robotic system. The light fixtures and the UV emitter module emit ultraviolet C (UVC) light for disinfecting the closed space or a surface in the closed space. The disinfection system includes sensors for measuring the amount of UVC light delivered by the light sources and UV emitter module. The disinfection system includes a control system for determining a profile for the closed space or surface based on the amount of UVC light needed and corresponding time to disinfect. The control system communicatively connects to the sensors. The control system monitors the amount of UVC light and controls the operation of the light sources and UV emitter module to deliver the required amount of UVC light.

Abstract:

Methods, hand wash monitoring system and hand wash hub system for motivating and monitoring compliance of hand washing are disclosed. Hand wash monitoring system detects presence of hands in hand washing sink. Subsequently, hand wash monitoring system initiates countdown of plurality of instructions to be displayed to user for washing hands. Plurality of instructions include wetting hands, applying soap, scrubbing hands, rinsing hands, and drying hands. Each of plurality of instructions is counted for predetermined time period. Hand wash monitoring system further monitors compliance of user following plurality of instructions for washing hands to improve compliance of hand washing with established protocol. In one embodiment, hand wash monitoring system is communicatively coupled with hand wash hub system and attendance monitoring system to display users' hand washing schedule and compliance with established protocol on external display device to get people to wash their hands more frequently and more thoroughly.

Abstract:

Method, sterilization system and robotic system for improving duty cycle of Ultraviolet (UV) emitter modules disinfecting closed environment. Sterilization system includes robotic system and plurality of UV emitter modules. Robotic system receives signal corresponding to discharge of battery from one of plurality of UV emitter modules. Each of plurality of UV emitter modules includes UV light source for disinfecting closed environment. Robotic system detects location of UV emitter module amongst plurality of UV emitter modules and maneuvers to location of UV emitter module, mounts UV emitter module and maneuvers UV emitter module to charging dock for charging battery of UV emitter module. After charging, robotic system maneuvers UV emitter module to pre-defined area for disinfecting pre-defined area of closed environment. Robotic system includes battery charged through UV emitter module when UV emitter module is getting charged, or when UV emitter module mounted to robotic system includes battery that is fully charged.
