Mobile Ultraviolet Sterilization Systems and Methods

摘要

Sterilization units and systems and related assemblies, devices, and methods are disclosed. The sterilization units may be mobile and used in a variety of locations. The sterilization units and systems use germicidal ultraviolet-C light to kill or render non-viable bacteria and viruses. The various sterilization units and systems disclosed herein may have improved ultraviolet light distribution and/or improved ability to direct and focus the ultraviolet light in a desired area. The sterilization units and systems may optionally be made of non-magnetic materials such that the sterilization units and systems may be used in the vicinity of MRI equipment without causing complications or damage to the MRI equipment.

主权项

1. A sterilization chamber, comprising:
walls enclosing a sterilization area; one or more ultraviolet light bulbs attached to one or more of the walls inside the sterilization area, wherein the one or more ultraviolet light bulbs are capable of irradiating germicidal ultraviolet light at sufficient levels to kill or render non-viable microorganisms exposed to the ultraviolet light; a corrugated reflective material that lines an inside surface of the walls; and a control unit including controls to operate the one or more ultraviolet light bulbs.
