US Patent:

7175806, Feb 13, 2007

Filed:

Feb 24, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/373270

Inventors:

Jeffery L. Deal - Charleston SC, US
Philip J. Ufkes - Mount Pleasant SC, US
David R. Deal - Atlanta GA, US

International Classification:

A61I 2/10

US Classification:

422 24, 422 3, 25045511

Abstract:

A C-Band Disinfector disinfects objects placed within the device by subjecting the objects to closed-loop emissions of UV-C radiation. UV-C sensors measure reflected UV-C radiation and control the period of operation of the device. In an additional embodiment, UV-C radiation is transmitted by fiber-optic cable to a particular area of an object to be disinfected. After the prescribed dose is applied, the fiber-optic cable is moved to a new area of the object, and the UV-C disinfection process continues until all areas of the object have been disinfected by exposure to the prescribed dose of the UV-C radiation.

Appl. No.:

11/705279

Inventors:

Jeffery Deal - Charleston SC, US
Philip Ufkes - Mount Pleasant SC, US
David Deal - Atlanta GA, US

International Classification:

A61L 2/10

US Classification:

422024000

Abstract:

A C-Band Disinfector disinfects objects placed within the interior of the device by subjecting the objects to emissions of UV-C radiation. Multiple UV-C sensors measure UV-C radiation dosage to the objects and control the period of operation of the device, terminating the emission of UV-C radiation only after all of the UV-C radiation sensors have received a minimum predetermined dosage.

Assignee:

UVAS, LLC - Charleston SC

International Classification:

A61L 2/10

US Classification:

422 3, 2504921

Abstract:

A disinfector disinfects an object having channels therein, such as an endoscope, by one or more light emitting diodes that emit UV-C radiation. The object, including interior channels of the object, is exposed to emissions of UV-C radiation. One or more light emitting diodes provide UV-C radiation to the interior channels of the object. Operation of the device through the channels is responsive to cumulative levels of radiation received by the sensor(s) associated with the light emitting diode(s).
