Systems and methods for detecting failure in plasma treatment

A method for generating plasma to treat an object, the method comprising:

• identifying entry of an object into a plasma-generation zone;
• activating circuitry for supplying energy to generate plasma in the plasma-generation zone to carry out a plasma treatment for increasing hydrophilicity of the object to a desired level;
• measuring at least one plasma-activation parameter during the plasma treatment;
• determining, based on the at least one plasma-activation parameter, that the plasma treatment is below a threshold for increasing the hydrophilicity of the object to the desired level;
• and
• outputting a notification indicating plasma treatment failure.

A non-transitory computer readable medium containing instructions that when executed by at least one processor cause the at least one processor to perform operations for generating plasma to treat an object, the operations comprising:

• identifying entry of an object into a plasma-generation zone;
• activating circuitry for supplying energy to generate plasma in the plasma-generation zone to carry out a plasma treatment for increasing hydrophilicity of the object to a desired level;
• measuring at least one plasma-activation parameter during the plasma treatment;
• determining, based on the at least one plasma-activation parameter, that the plasma treatment is below a threshold for increasing the hydrophilicity of the object to the desired level;
• and
• outputting a notification indicating plasma treatment failure.
