Abstract
Rapid Disinfection System that is able to disinfect the surfaces of a Rescue Ambulance Patient Cabin after all necessary hand disinfection protocols have been completed. As with emergency situations timing is critical. This system can disinfect the patient cabin rapidly within minutes with very little operator effort. This will allow for little to no down time of the rescue ambulance. Larger populated areas may have as much as 50,000 emergency calls in a months' time and may only have 20 to 30 rescue ambulance to handle all of these calls. In these areas there may only be less than 5 minutes surface disinfection times available.
Claims18
A Disinfection System, comprising:
- a plurality of independent ultraviolet-C band lamps secured to the ceiling in a specifically calculated location within the rescue ambulance patient cabin;
- said ultraviolet-C band lamps will irradiate the interior of the said Rescue Ambulance Patient Cabin for a calculated time frame in order to achieve a three log reduction of colony forming units of a microorganism;
- will be achieved with a measured UV dose of 46,000 microwatts;
- wherein each of said ultraviolet-C band lamps is held in place by a mounting fixture;
- each mounting fixture is comprised of a base portion that is used to connect the base portion of fixture to the ceiling of patient cabin of rescue ambulance;
- the base portion of fixture securing the ultraviolet-C band lamps thus suspending said lamps above the patient cabin surfaces to be disinfected;
- a safety cover that envelopes the entire base assembly and ultraviolet-C band lamp and protects the assembly and lamp from being damaged by any item knocking into the lamp.
A Disinfection System, comprising:
- an Alternating Current (AC) Direct Current (DC) power inverter;
- a timer switch to turn on the Disinfection System wherein said Alternating Current Direct Current power inverter for any 12 volt to 24 volt direct current draw from battery power source of rescue ambulance to 120 volt alternating current for energizing Rapid Disinfection System;
- wherein the Disinfection System can operate while in motion and no longer connected to shoreline power source, the rescue ambulance may energize the said Disinfection System while on the roadways;
- allowing for the said System to achieve a three log reduction of CFU's of microorganisms while away from shore line power source.
A Disinfection System, comprising:
- a data collection and transmittal device wherein said data collection system will receive input signals from but not limited to the ultraviolet-C band lamps, motion sensor, door interlock safety switches, timer switches and ultraviolet-C band irradiance intensity monitor with UV sensor;
- said data input signals collected in part or in whole will allow for but not limited to the verification of the measured UV dosage to achieve the three log reduction of CFU's of microorganisms.
