A swing bed absorption apparatus includes a bed including a bed housing including, an outer surface, an interior chamber, and a flared interior passageway fluidly connecting the interior chamber to an area located outside of the bed. The flared interior passageway includes an opening in the outer surface, a chamber opening at the interior chamber, a first portion located at the opening, the first portion being fluidly connected to the area located outside the bed through the opening, and a flared portion located at the chamber opening, the flared portion being fluidly connected to the interior chamber through the chamber opening. The flared portion connects to the interior chamber at an obtuse angle.

Systems, apparatus and methods for disinfection of airflow. An apparatus for disinfecting air-conditioned airflow in a confined space includes: a modular housing; and a disinfection chamber enclosed within the housing. The disinfection chamber includes a plurality of disinfection sheets. Each disinfection sheet comprises a plurality of ultraviolet (UV) light sources. The airflow is configured to be routed along a serpentine pathway within the housing to expose microorganisms in the airflow to far UV-C light emitted by the UV light sources for an extended and optimal duration.

An air purification and disinfection system includes an apparatus having a housing, an ultraviolet disinfection chamber, an air mover, and an air distribution unit in communication with the disinfection chamber. Air is passed through the disinfection chamber where it is purified and disinfected before it is delivered to the user of the apparatus through the air distribution unit. The apparatus can be configured as an open or a closed circuit system. The system may be configured to purify air in an airplane, a conference room, a classroom, or as a portable unit for an individual user. As a portable unit the disinfection chamber can be incorporated into a back pack, a vest, a purse, a briefcase, a shoulder bag, a cervical collar, or any other format for being carried by the user.

A filter sterilization system includes an expiratory filter having filter material that collects pathogens present in the exhaled gas stream from a ventilated patient. A filter sterilizer includes an ultraviolet (UV) light source that is activated by the system to emit light towards the expiratory filter. Additionally, the system includes a ventilator coupled to a patient breathing circuit that provides a gas mixture from a gas source to the ventilated patient and transfers exhaled gases of the ventilated patient to the expiratory filter.

A monolithic swing bed absorption apparatus including a first bed. The first bed including a bed housing including a first side and a second side, a first manifold section extending from the first side to the second side within the bed housing, a filtration section extending from the first side to the second side within the bed housing, and a second manifold section extending from the first side to the second side within the bed housing. The filtration section being interposed between the first manifold section and the second manifold section. The monolithic swing bed absorption apparatus is a single piece including a unitary structure.
