Estimating the term…
The invention concerns a disinfection device includes a disinfection chamber having an interior volume and a radiation source coupled to the interior volume. The radiation source is arranged to emit disinfecting radiation into the interior volume when in operation. A disinfection program in the disinfection chamber is arranged to control the radiation source to emit the disinfecting radiation according to parameters determined based on at least one of a three dimensional model of the disinfection chamber and a three dimensional model of a target article to be disinfected. The three dimensional model of the disinfection chamber is formed using data collected by operating at least one radiation source in a data collection disinfection chamber, or by providing a disinfection chamber model having a virtual interior volume. The three dimensional model of the target article to be disinfected is formed by providing a target article model having a virtual surface.
A method, comprising providing a disinfection chamber having an interior volume and at least one radiation source coupled to the interior volume, the at least one radiation source arranged to emit disinfecting radiation into the interior volume when in operation, determining a cold spot of a target article to be disinfected;
A system, comprising a disinfection chamber having an interior volume, at least one radiation source arranged, when in operation, to emit disinfecting radiation into the interior volume of the disinfection chamber, a target article positioning device, a memory, the memory having stored thereon a computer-generated model of a determined type of medical device, said computer-generated model including data that represents at least one physical property of the determined type of medical device, said computer-generated model including data that represents at least one optical property of the determined type of medical device, and said computer-generated model including data that represents a region of interest on the surface of the determined type of medical device, wherein said region of interest is a first region that is expected to receive a disinfecting radiation dose that is different from a second region, and a control system arranged to direct the operation of the at least one radiation source, wherein directing the operation includes causing delivery of a determined minimum dose of disinfecting radiation to the region of interest of a medical device of the determined type when said medical device of the determined type is coupled to the target article positioning device.
(canceled)
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium containing executable instructions which, when executed by a processor, configure the processor to operate a disinfection system according to a method, the method comprising acts to provide a disinfection chamber having an interior volume and a radiation source coupled to the interior volume, the radiation source arranged to emit disinfecting radiation into the interior volume when in operation, and to provide a disinfection program to the disinfection chamber, the disinfection program arranged to control the radiation source to emit the disinfecting radiation according to parameters determined based on at least one of a three dimensional model of the disinfection chamber and a three dimensional model of a target article to be disinfected.
