Abstract
A method of disinfection of an object, the method including securing an infected object to a moveable carrousel within a chamber; exposing the infected object to a disinfection cycle, the disinfection cycle comprising: exposing the infected object to an atomized liquid disinfectant fog comprising a disinfectant; exposing the infected object to ultraviolet illumination from an ultraviolet illumination source before, during, after, or any thereof exposing the object to the atomized liquid disinfectant fog to disinfect the object; during the disinfection cycle changing an orientation of the infected object with respect to the atomized liquid disinfectant fog and the ultraviolet illumination source; and removing the object from the chamber.
Claims19
A method of disinfection of an object, the method comprising:
- securing an infected object within a chamber;
- exposing the infected object to a disinfection cycle, the disinfection cycle comprising:
- directing, via a conduit, an atomized liquid disinfectant into the chamber to expose the infected object to the atomized liquid disinfectant, the atomized liquid disinfectant comprising a disinfectant, the atomized liquid disinfectant to travel a distance from the conduit toward the infected object;
- exposing the chamber to non-UV illumination from a first non-UV illumination source before, during, after, or any thereof exposing the object to the atomized liquid disinfectant to disinfect the object, wherein during the disinfection cycle, the first non-UV illumination source is pulsed on and off;
- intermittently exposing the atomized liquid disinfectant to ultraviolet illumination from a second illumination source after the atomized liquid disinfectant travels a majority of a distance toward the infected object, the atomized liquid disinfectant to generate reactive oxidative species in response to the ultraviolet illumination from the second illumination source;
- during the disinfection cycle changing an orientation of the infected object with respect to the atomized liquid disinfectant;
- and
- removing the object from the chamber.

- exposing the chamber to illumination from a visible illumination source and an infrared illumination source before, during, after, or any thereof exposing the object to the atomized liquid disinfectant to disinfect the object, wherein during the disinfection cycle, the visible illumination source and the infrared illumination source are pulsed on and off;
- intermittently exposing the atomized liquid disinfectant to ultraviolet illumination from a second illumination source after the atomized liquid disinfectant travels a majority of the distance toward the infected object, the atomized liquid disinfectant to generate reactive oxidative species in response to the ultraviolet illumination from the second illumination source;
- during the disinfection cycle changing an orientation of the infected object with respect to the atomized liquid disinfectant;
- and
- removing the object from the chamber.
