Problems solved by technology

It is well known that microfilters are only capable of filtering particles down to a specific particle size, which means that the effectiveness of microfilters is limited in terms of the range of pathogenic organisms and the corresponding range of particle sizes

Embodiment Construction

[0013] As used herein, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" include plural forms unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. As used herein, the statement that two or more parts or components are "coupled" shall mean that these parts are coupled together or operate together, either directly or indirectly, i.e. through one or more intermediate parts or components, As long as there is a connection. As used herein, "directly coupled" means that two elements are in direct contact with each other. As used herein, "fixedly coupled" or "fixed" means that two components are coupled so as to move as one and maintain a constant orientation relative to each other.

[0014] As used herein, the term "integral" means that a component is manufactured as a whole or unit. In other words, a component that includes multiple pieces that are manufactured separately and then joined together as a unit is not a "unitary" component or structure. As used herein, the statement that two or more p...

Abstract

Systems and methods for air purification within an incubator using germicidal irradiation from an ultra-violet (UV) light source that is integrated in a path from ambient air into the cavity of an incubator.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to a system and method for decontaminating the air within an incubator, and in particular, to providing germicidal radiation by ultraviolet radiation to potentially contaminated ambient air on its way into a chamber of an incubator. Background technique [0002] It is well known that incubators are essential to keep babies, including newborns, especially in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) environment, safe, warm, comfortable and / or healthy. Babies are known to be susceptible. Bacterial organisms, viral organisms, and other disease-causing organisms are known to cause infections and, at least in some cases, to be spread by airborne contamination of ambient air containing particulates. It is well known that environments in which incubators are commonly used, such as hospitals for example, are often plagued by a variety of different pathogenic organisms. It is well known that microfilters are only capable of filter...
