Abstract
A portable analyte detection system and related methods are provided. The detection system includes a detector having one or more probes and associated detector circuitry that is in communication with a mobile device. The system displays real-time decontamination feedback, initiates decontamination processes, and displays process completion notification or automatically implements decontamination shut-off. The server tracks location information and analyte levels for products and communicates with third party certification servers.
Claims20
A method of analyte-based equipment control, comprising:
- introducing a probe of a portable detector into rinsate collected from a target surface undergoing decontamination;
- detecting a level of analyte in the rinsate using the probe;
- transmitting analyte data to a processing system;
- receiving, at the processing system, a determination that the analyte level is acceptable;
- and
- in response to the determination, automatically disabling or pausing further operation of decontamination equipment.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor of a portable analyte detection device, cause the device to:
- analyze real-time detection signals from at least one probe;
- quantify a level of analyte using an embedded inference model;
- compare the analyte level to a stored threshold;
- generate a visual output indicating analyte acceptability;
- and
- log the result in memory for later transmission.
An analyte detection and control system comprising:
- a portable detector configured to detect an analyte and transmit analyte data to a remote server;
- the server configured to determine whether analyte levels exceed a predefined threshold;
- and
- an equipment interlock system in communication with the server and one or more pieces of operational equipment, wherein the server is configured to transmit a signal to the interlock system to enable or disable the operational equipment based on the analyte level.
