Abstract

See full text

Aspects of systems and methods for controlling SAR in medical infusion illumination are disclosed herein. In one aspect a system for reducing microorganism load in an environment surrounding an electronic illuminator is disclosed. In the system an electronic illuminator is disclosed comprising an LED module, a power driver equipped to the LED module for driving power to the LED, housing to protect the contents of the electronic illuminator and dissipate heat, and a PCB configured with an MCU for controlling operations within the electronic illuminator. Further, the system comprises a side emitting fiber optic line or line, also known as side glow fiber. The side emitting fiber optic line comprises a funnel cap for engaging with the electronic illuminator and a protective end cap for protecting and reflecting light radiation. In other aspects, a method for reducing microorganism count in an environment surrounding an electronic illuminator is disclosed. The method comprises provisioning an electronic illuminator equipped with an LED module and a side emitting fiber optic line. Then transmitting a signal, to a power driver of the LED module to begin the microorganism reduction. Next, emitting light radiation, by the LED module, and lastly terminating the light radiation after a set duration.
