     FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention relates to a system for rapid disinfection of surfaces in rescue ambulance patient cabins where time is limited and related methods thereof and, more particularly, to ultraviolet-C band surface disinfection. 
     BACKGROUND OF INVENTION 
     Healthcare acquired infections; pandemic events and bioterrorist event are of growing concerns and have become a consistent drain on healthcare related funds. The list of multi drug resistant microorganisms are growing and becoming a threat to the population around the world. Healthcare related secondary infections are most commonly associated with medical facilities such as hospitals. 
     Hand disinfection protocols have been in place for many years and have limited success in effective surface disinfection. This method of disinfecting surfaces relies on chemicals and can take extended periods of time based on the need for saturation of surfaces to be disinfected and extended drying times need for the chemicals used. 
     Surface disinfection using Ultraviolet-C band lighting is considered ultraviolet germicidal irradiation or UVGI. This disinfection method using ultraviolet-C band short wave 254 nanometer light waves inactivates or kills microorganisms at the cellular level by destroying the nucleic acids and disrupting their DNA or RNA. This process will render the organisms incapable of reproducing, therefor killing the microorganism. This process prevents the microorganism from multiplying and thereby stopping the microorganism from causing infections. 
     Some basic advantages with using an Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation UVGI system are no chemicals used, no chemical storage needed, and no remaining residue clean up from chemical use along with no chemical odors. An Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation UVGI system can reduce the cost of employee hours as it requires very little operating effort to achieve the intended results. The element of human error is kept to a very minimum risk factor as the ultraviolet germicidal irradiation UVGI system will produce the same results each time as there is no variance of effort in the surface disinfection of the ultraviolet-C band lamp. 
     Special caution must be taken while operating an ultraviolet germicidal irradiation UVGI system. Handling any type of mobile unit ultraviolet germicidal irradiation UVGI system comes with risk as set up of system and take down can subject the employee to hazards related to breakage or burns from hot lamps. As with any piece of equipment that is mobile there is a need for space to store when not in use. 
     As with any lamp they are made of glass and should be handled with care when replacing. Exposure to ultraviolet-C band light waves can be harmful to skin and eyes. Strict calculations must be adhered to when determining the specific location for the installation of the ultraviolet-C band lamp to minimize or eliminate shadowing. 
     As described above, it is necessary to pay close attention to the special cautions when designing a system that incorporates ultraviolet-C band lamps for surface disinfection. However the advantages over chemical processes are numerous and make the use of ultraviolet-C band lamps for surface disinfection a necessary and highly effective tool in the fight against microorganisms in rescue ambulance patient cabins. Once a Rapid Disinfection System using ultraviolet-C band lamps for surface disinfection is installed within the rescue ambulance patient cabin there is no need for storing equipment or man power to set up and remove the disinfection equipment. There is a need for a system to disinfect the surfaces of a rescue ambulance patient cabin within the shortest amount of time but also limit employee risk. There needs to be the ability to utilize system at any time without delays from set up of equipment and take down once irradiation phase is complete. Yet another critical necessity is to have the ability to disinfect the surfaces of the rescue ambulance patient cabin parked in the emergency service building or if the need arises out in the field responding to an emergency call. 
     The Rapid Disinfection System described herein these specifications is intended to deliver at least a three log reduction of colony forming units of microorganisms on surfaces or airborne within the Rescue Ambulance Patient Cabin. The targeted microorganisms would include but are not limited to  Clostridium Difficile  (C-Diff), Methicillin-Resistant  Staphylococcus Aureus  (MRSA), and Influenza. These results must be achieved rapidly within only a few minutes or less. This time frame is based on the nature of rescue emergencies. The Rescue Ambulance needs to be ready to travel to the emergency call site quickly. There may not be a lengthy time to use equipment that takes 30 minutes to 90 minutes to set up, Irradiate and take down. This is based on current time frames of portable UVC units currently use in Hospital and Rescue Ambulance settings. 
     The said system is designed to be operated by any first responder with limited training. In other words the system power switch is unlocked and turned on. This is the power timer switch that will energize the lamps and all safety protocols incorporated within the Rapid Disinfection System. The same power timer switch will then turn off or shut down the entire system at the end of the calculated time frame. 
     The UV lamps will need to irradiate the interior of the Rescue Ambulance Patient Cabin for a calculated time frame in order to achieve the appropriate measured UV dosage. 
     In order to achieve the desired three log reduction or better of CFU&#39;s of microorganisms in the Rescue Ambulance Patient Cabin, a measured UV dose of 46,000 microwatts is necessary based on (Ref #1) (Ref #1) In a published study by Moog Life Sciences Laboratories dated May 2012  Clostridium difficile  Spore Inactivation Study Using Ultraviolet-C Energy, showed that a 3.4 log reduction of CFU of C-Diff was achieved with a measured UV dosage of 45,903 microwatts 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     One facet of the present invention provides a complete ultraviolet-C band germicidal disinfection system for rescue ambulance patient cabin surfaces. A plurality of Independent high output ultraviolet-C band lamps are mounted to the ceiling of the patient cabin strategically to minimize shadowing to achieve optimal surface disinfection of the patient cabin. 
     Another facet of the present invention provides a reflective hard surface mounting fixture design that enhances the ultraviolet-C band irradiance intensity due to the reflective properties. In one embodiment the reflective hard surface mounting fixture comprises of the ability to be securely fastened to the ceiling panels of the patient cabin. Additionally the reflective hard surface mounting fixture is incorporates a cover that locks tightly to the base portion to protect the said lamp from breakage. 
     In another preferred embodiment, the reflective hard surface fixture comprises of lamp mounting clips with rubber grommet, designed to securely lock in place the high output ultraviolet-C band lamps. The lamp clip and rubber grommet will protect the hard quartz glass tubes of the ultraviolet-C band lamp from shifting or dislodging from the reflective hard surface fixture as a result of G force that occurs from rescue ambulance hitting bumps on or off the road. 
     In another preferred embodiment, is a protective coating derived from a Teflon tube placed over the glass portion of the ultraviolet-C band lamp. This protective coating will contain any broken glass shards or any mercury vapor leak in the event the ultraviolet-C band lamp breaks. 
     In another preferred embodiment, special ultraviolet-C band light wave resistant lamp cords are used. Ultraviolet-C band light waves can overtime destroy plastic or rubber insulation on electrical wires. In another preferred embodiment, the ultraviolet-C band light wave resistant lamp cords have a water tight locking four pin connection. This four pin connection is exclusive to the rapid disinfection system only allowing for high output ultraviolet-C band germicidal lamps to operate with the high output milliamp power supply. 
     Another facet of the present invention provides a rapid disinfection system that will minimize or eliminate accidental human exposure of ultraviolet-C band light wave during surface disinfection phase. Exposure to ultraviolet-C band light waves can be harmful to eyes and skin if subject to direct exposure. Human occupancy of the rescue ambulance patient cabin is strictly prohibited. 
     In another preferred embodiment, the rapid disinfection system comprises of hard wired infrared motion and heat sensor located within the rescue ambulance patient cabin to detect any motion. If any motion is detected within the patient cabin by the hard wired infrared motion and heat sensor all electrical current will be completely disconnected immediately from rapid disinfection system during the surface disinfection phase thus shutting of high output ultraviolet-C band lamps. 
     In another preferred embodiment, the rapid disinfection system comprises of two part hard wired door interlock safety switches installed on each entry door and door frame as to make a circuit connection. When door is closed tight and latched within the rescue ambulance patient cabin the electrical circuit is complete and power will run to energize the high output ultraviolet-C band lamps for the surface disinfection phase. If any of the doors are ajar or in the unlatched position, the two part hard wired two part hard wired door interlock switches will disconnect electrical current from rapid disinfection system during the surface disinfection phase thus shutting of high output ultraviolet-C band lamps. 
     In another preferred embodiment, the rapid disinfection system comprises of ultraviolet-C band safety feature capable of sending warning notice of unsafe ultraviolet-C band irradiance intensity levels. Ultraviolet-C band germicidal irradiance levels degrade over the life of the lamp rendering the ultraviolet-C band lamp ineffective. Said ultraviolet-C band germicidal irradiance Intensity monitor will be able to determine the ultraviolet-C band intensity output of the ultraviolet-C band lamp. 
     Another facet of the present invention provides an alternating current (AC) direct current (DC) power inverter will allow the Rapid Disinfection System to operate while the rescue ambulance is in motion and not connected to a shoreline power source, the rescue ambulance may energize the Rapid Disinfection System while on the roadways. 
     In another preferred embodiment, the alternating current (AC) direct current (DC) power inverter will be in direct line to at least the 12 volt or 24 volt battery or string of batteries located in the rescue unit. Said power inverter will transform the 12 volts or 24 volts to the 120 line voltage needed to energize the Rapid Disinfection System when disconnected from the 120 line volt shoreline power connection available in the emergency services rescue station garage or any standing power stations producing 120 line volt power. 
     Another facet of the present invention provides a preset multifunction timer switches to energize the high output ultraviolet-C band lamps located in the rescue ambulance patient cabin for surface disinfection. 
     Another facet of the present invention provides a data collection system that comprises of a module to receive incoming data points from the components to the rapid disinfection system. Another preferred embodiment, of the data collection system is the ability to disseminate the data and dispatch this collected information to a manned monitoring station. The collected data will give historical information of system use, critical safety feature and ultraviolet-C band irradiance intensity levels in real time whether it is to a device located in the driver cabin of the rescue ambulance or in the emergency service building location or remote view for technical service report from the manufacturer.
