Disinfection system for reusable medical instruments

This invention describes a system for disinfecting reusable medical instruments using ultraviolet (UV) light. Medical instruments are placed into a special UV-transparent tray with compartments that physically guide and hold them in the correct position. The tray is then placed inside a chamber where UV lights activate to perform high-level disinfection.

Why it matters: The filing year of 2020 predates significant advancements in UV-C LED technology, which could now offer more efficient and compact radiation sources. Additionally, improvements in UV-transparent materials and custom manufacturing techniques could simplify the production of the specialized instrument trays.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: ModerateUV sources, controller, custom UV-transparent tray
