METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR STERILIZATION OF MEDICAL INSTRUMENTS

摘要

Techniques for stethoscope sanitation are disclosed. In one particular embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a system for stethoscope sanitation including a first dispensing nozzle positioned to dispense a sanitization fluid on a first surface of a stethoscope, a second dispensing nozzle positioned to dispense the sanitization fluid on a second surface of a stethoscope, a first sensor configured to detect the presence of the stethoscope within a close proximity of the first dispensing nozzle and to detect the presence of the stethoscope within a close proximity of the second dispensing nozzle, and a pump configured to receive the sanitization fluid from a sanitization fluid receptacle and to provide the sanitization fluid to the first dispensing nozzle and the second dispensing nozzle. The techniques may include a microcontroller configured to receive a signal from the first sensor and initiating pumping in response to reception of the signal.
