Abstract
Provided herein are systems and methods for implementing a modular light device for use in an electronic treatment device according to examples of the disclosure. In one or more examples, the modular light device can be implemented as a stand-alone component that can be swapped in and out of the treatment device. In one or more examples, the light device can include a light source array chamber configured to transmit UV light of a selected wavelength, the light source array chamber including one or more light source arrays and light sensors collectively configured as part of the light device to deliver light to a biological sample.
Claims60
A modular light device configured to be positioned within an electronic device for treating a biological fluid, wherein the modular light device includes a plurality of components collectively configured to transmit light to one or more biological fluids for treatment, the modular light device comprising:
- a housing configured to house one or more components of the modular light device;
- a light source array chamber configured to transmit light, wherein the light source array chamber comprises:
- one or more light source arrays, each comprising a plurality of light sources configured to generate UV light;
- and
- one or more light sensors configured to detect light, wherein at least one of the one or more light sensors is configured to detect light generated by the one or more light source arrays of the modular light device and is oriented facing the one or more light source arrays;
- a window portion configured to pass UV light generated by the plurality of light sources from the one or more light source arrays of the light source array chamber to the one or more biological fluids for treatment, wherein the window portion comprises a window material covering or enclosing an opening of the housing of the modular light device;
- a controller configured to control the light generated by the one or more light source arrays based at least in part on the light detected by the one or more light sensors;
- and
- a driver communicatively coupled to and configured to operate one or more components of the plurality of components of the modular light device,
- wherein the modular light device is a first modular light device configured to be positioned at a treatment chamber within the electronic device in an orientation to transmit light to one or more biological fluids positioned on a platform in the treatment chamber of the electronic device, and
- wherein the modular light device is configured to be positioned in an orientation facing a second modular light device that is positioned within the electronic device, and
- wherein at least one of the one or more light sensors of the first modular light device is configured to detect light transmitted by the second modular light device.
