Abstract

An at-home sterilization and data acquisition and deposition device including a housing having an opening or series of openings for receiving up to six medical devices, a sterilization chamber formed within the housing that is lined with sterilizing radiation reflecting material, and several sources of sterilizing radiation disposed within the sterilization chamber for sufficient emission of radiation to achieve a significant log reduction of any pathogens present on the medical devices, and an RFID scanner and sensor suite configured into the housing that prevents sterilization of non-system components, radiation emission into the environment, and that can pair with a user's mobile device. An individual catheterization system includes an at-home sterilization and data acquisition device, a software-enabled analysis of data acquired through the system, a set of accessories to enable proper lubrication, cleaning, and radiation-based sterilization of medical devices, and a set of RFID-enabled medical devices designed to facilitate sterile emptying of the bladder by providing a tactile interface that prevents direct contact between the individual and the parts of the medical devices that enter the individual's body.
