Problems solved by technology
[0004] The additional reading device used to determine the sterility of the biological sterilization indicator also displays on the LCD screen readout information such as the status of the sterilization indicator and the time remaining in the cycle, which may be difficult to Read along with a user interface that can confuse users
Also, it may be difficult for the user to clean the LCD screen because the recess can be formed as a separate part with the LCD screen
[0005] Some methods for backlighting light display elements onto curved surfaces can utilize flexible substrates such as flexible printed circuit boards, but manufacturing challenges during alignment can be problematic

Embodiment Construction
[0025] Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a sterilization indicator reading device having a compact housing. Additional aspects of the present disclosure relate to displays for electronic devices that illuminate through a curved major surface using a plurality of display elements surface mounted on a rigid printed circuit board and that are also visible from a distance of at least 30 feet.
[0026] The electronic device may utilize the gasket and the recessed section on the housing to further illuminate the curved major surface.
[0027] Figure 1 illustrates a system 99 including a sterilization indicator 106 and a sterilization indicator reading device 100, according to at least one embodiment. Reading device 100 may position a plurality of sterilization indicators within a plurality of recesses, one recess being detailed (eg, 108 ).
[0028] The reading device 100 may include a housing 101 . The housing 101 is compact, meaning that the housing 101 has an internal ...

Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to an electronic device having a housing that includes a major side portion having a curved major surface and an inside major surface, the major side portion comprises a first section and a second section each having different opacities. An aspect of the present disclosure is that the housing is not powder coated, or painted. The electronic device can have a display comprising an array of display elements surface mounted on a rigid printed circuit board such that the array of display elements are planar, a display element from the array of display elements is aligned with the second section such that light is transmitted through the second section and projected onto the curved major surface.
Description
Background technique [0001] In many industries such as the healthcare industry, as well as in other industrial applications, it may be necessary to monitor the effectiveness of processes used to sterilize equipment such as medical devices, instruments, and other disposable and non-disposable articles. In these cases, a sterilization cycle is generally defined as the process of complete destruction of all viable sources of biological activity such as microorganisms, including structures such as viruses and spores. As a standard practice, hospitals place a sterilization indicator with a batch of products to test the lethality of the sterilization process. Biological and chemical sterilization indicators have been used. [0002] A standard type of biological sterilization indicator includes a known amount of a test organism such as Geobacillus stearothermophilus (formerly Bacillus stearothermophilus) or Bacillus atrophaeus (formerly known as Bacillus subtilis) spores, the abili...
