A personal protection and pathogen disinfection system includes personal protective equipment (“PPE”) configured to cover at least a portion of a person's face when worn by the person, a disinfection device configured to be worn or carried by the person, an input device configured to receive input from the person, and at least one processor configured to selectively activate the disinfection device responsive to the input.

The equipment for the destruction of viruses by means of complementary radiation consists of a technology focused on weakening the fatty layer covering certain viruses, to cause the indirect destruction of them. This technology utilizes intense, modulated light radiation, the principal emitters thereof being 460-nanometers LEDs which, with the technology of the invention, emit secondary radiation in a band ranging from 400 to 460 nanometers, in order to achieve the weakening and destruction of the fatty layer that covers viruses such as SARS-CoV-2. This light radiation is complemented with ultrasound pulses that complete the destructive effect of the interior of the virus. For this purpose, technology involving emission by means of stratified quantum excitation is employed, which uses monochromatic light-emitting diodes to achieve very-high-intensity polychromatic emissions highly controllable regarding tissue penetration.

A system for sterilizing viruses includes beam generation circuitry for generating a radiating wave having radiating energy therein at a predetermined frequency therein. A controller controls the radiating wave generation at the predetermined frequency. The predetermined frequency equals a resonance frequency of a particular virus. The predetermined frequency induces a mechanical resonance vibration at the resonance frequency of the particular virus within the particular virus for destroying a capsid of the particular virus. Radiating circuitry projects the radiating wave on a predetermined location to destroy the particular virus at the predetermined location.

Antimicrobial films for generating singlet oxygen and their use is described. The antimicrobial films are generally thin films having two surfaces or faces. The first surface of the film is adhesive. Various adhesives, including, electrostatic charges, are possible. The second surface faces in a direction opposite from the first surface. The second surface of the film emits singlet oxygen when activated by light or ultrasound. Various photosensitizers can be incorporated onto the second surface of the films for generating the singlet oxygen. The singlet oxygen and other radical species generated from the antimicrobial films diffuses out from and in proximity to the films to form a layer or cloud of singlet oxygen at a concentration sufficient to inactivate microbial particles, e.g., viruses and other pathogens, that come within the singlet oxygen layer to provide a protective zone against microbial particles.

A washing device comprises a fluid dispenser that operably directs a cleaning fluid to contact one or more objects to be cleaned, the one or more objects to be cleaned being contained by the washing device, a dispensing line directing the cleaning fluid to the fluid dispenser, a compressed air source, an air valve selectively controlling flow of air from the compressed air source into the dispensing line, a cleaning fluid source, a pump selectively pumping the cleaning fluid from the cleaning fluid source into the dispensing line, and a controller. The controller alternatingly activates (a) the pump to pump the cleaning fluid from the cleaning fluid source into the dispensing line and (b) the air valve to force the cleaning fluid from the dispensing line via the fluid dispenser.

A contrast injector system includes one or more devices for reducing or eliminating risk of cross-patient contamination. In particular, the contrast injector system includes at least one of a sterilization device, vibration device, and illuminator device positioned on a component of the contrast injector system, where the sterilization device, vibration device, and/or illuminator device is in communication with a console of the contrast injector system. The sterilization device has an energy emitter positioned to emit energy to one or more components of the system. The vibration device is positioned on a component of the system so as to induce acoustic vibrations on a surface of such component. The illuminator device includes a light source positioned to illuminate a component of the system.

A cleaning and sterilizing device includes an ultrasonic cleaner, a top cover and an ultraviolet lamp. The ultrasonic cleaner has a cleaning tank for performing ultrasonic cleaning process to objects. The top cover is disposed on the opening of the cleaning tank and removable at any time. The ultraviolet lamp is installed on the bottom surface of the top cover and directly faces the cleaning tank for providing sterilization effect to the object in the cleaning tank. Therefore, the cleaning and sterilizing device of the present invention is optional to clean the object by ultrasonic cleaning or sterilize the object by irradiating it by the ultraviolet lamp, thereby attaining the objective of thorough cleaning and sterilization. Besides, the top cover with the detachable design brings convenience for adding or pouring the water in the cleaning tank, thereby increasing the usage convenience.

A washing and drying unit configured to perform at least one of washing, drying, and sterilizing, or any combination thereof includes at least one sensor configured to determine a dimension and/or shape of the object, a washing and/or sterilizing apparatus and a drying and/or sterilizing apparatus configured to direct at least one apparatus or spray of a washing and/or sterilizing or a drying and/or sterilizing fluid to the object, at least one robot arm connected to at least one of the apparatuses, and a controller operable to orient and move the at least one robot arm. A separate sterilization apparatus may be included and the sterilization may include using electrified water or water that has been exposed to ultraviolet light. The controller orients the at least one robot arm based on the dimension and/or shape determined by the at least one sensor.
