Abstract

See full text

A disinfection system for use in cleansing one or more medical devices or components that are placed on, in, or in proximity to a patient during a medical procedure is disclosed. Non-limiting examples of a medical component that may be cleansed by the disinfection system include an ultrasound probe or a chest sensor of a catheter placement system. In one embodiment, therefore, a disinfection system for a medical device is disclosed, comprising a container configured for proximate placement with respect to the medical device and an array of light sources included with the container. Each light source is configured to produce disinfecting light in a high energy visible light wavelength range. Further, the light sources are arranged to impinge the disinfecting light upon a portion of the medical device so as to disinfect the impinged surfaces of the medical device.
