Device for skin disinfection and adhesive deactivation

A device comprising:

• a housing;
• a disinfecting light source coupled to the housing, wherein the disinfecting light source is configured to disinfect an object covered by the housing;
• an adhesive light source coupled to the housing, wherein the adhesive light source is configured to cause a light switchable adhesive to transition between an adhering state and a removal state based on the light switchable adhesive being exposed to light emitted by the adhesive light source;
• and
• an activation sensor coupled to the housing, wherein the activation sensor is electrically coupled to the disinfecting light source and the adhesive light source, and wherein the activation sensor is configured to cause the disinfecting light source and the adhesive light source to activate;
• and
• a plurality of edge detection sensors, wherein each edge detection sensor of the plurality of edge detection sensors is configured to detect an edge of an object;
• wherein the activation sensor is configured to:
• detect contact with a body of a user;
• and
• provide a signal to activate the disinfecting light source, the adhesive light source, or a combination of the disinfecting light source and the adhesive light source based on detecting contact with the body of the user;
• and
• wherein the disinfecting light source, the adhesive light source, or a combination of the disinfecting light source and the adhesive light source are configured to activate based on a signal received from one or more edge detection sensors and the signal provided by the activation sensor.

An assembly comprising:

• an intravenous (IV) injection site processing device comprising:
• a housing comprising a base section, the housing configured to cover an object;
