A new UV-LED device for automatic disinfection of stethoscope membranes.
BACKGROUND Stethoscopes are widely used by doctors and nurses. Poor stethoscope hygiene is a potential source of nosocomial infection. This study aimed to propose an innovative solution, based on the latest advances in ultraviolet (UV) light-emitting diodes (LEDs), for disinfecting stethoscope membranes automatically and efficiently. METHODS Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomona...
متن کاملCFD Simulation of UV Disinfection Reactor for Applesauce with a Low UV Absorption Coefficient
In this study, a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model was developed to evaluate ultraviolet disinfection applesauce reactor. To simulate UV reactors, three sets of equations, including hydrodynamics, radiation and species mass conservation were solved simultaneously. The Realizable k-e turbulence model and the discrete ordinate method were used to find the UV radiation profile through the r...

As regards the significant role of stethoscopes in the diagnosis of congenital and adventitious heart diseases and prevention of irreparable complications of these diseases, the quality of hearing sound of these stethoscopes by a physician has a significant impact on the disease diagnosis. This device plays an important role in the early diagnosis of congenital heart and respiratory diseases an...
متن کاملA New Conveyable Device for Electro-drainage of Thorax
Chest tube is a flexible plastic tube used to discharge secretion in the cavity between the lungs and chest named pleural cavity. Normally, there is a small amount of fluid in the cavity between the lungs and chest; This fluid helps the movement of lungs during breathing without abrasion. Entrance of bit of air, blood or pus because injury in the pleural cavity can prevent the lungs from fully ...
متن کاملUv-led Irradiation Technology for Point-of-use Water Disinfection in Developing Communities
Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation is a common disinfection option for water treatment in the developed world. There are a few systems installed in developing countries for point-of-use treatment, but the low-pressure mercury lamps currently used as the UV irradiation source, have a number of sustainability issues including a short lifetime of approximately one year and toxic mercury inside that must...
