Abstract:
A fixed position hybrid germicidal irradiation apparatus, method, and system for ultraviolet germicidal irradiation. A plurality of emitters may be coupled to a substantially rectangular housing configured to be coupled to a standard commercial lighting fitting. A second plurality of emitters may be coupled to the substantially rectangular housing. The first plurality of emitters and the second plurality of emitters are operable to emit UV-C radiation at a wavelength of about 265 nanometers and near-UV radiation at a wavelength of about 405 nanometers respectively. UV-C sensors are configured to measure the amount of UV-C light or near UV-C light from a target surface. A controller may be configured to engage with the UV-C sensors to determine the amount of UV-C radiation collected by the UV-C sensors. The improved apparatus, method, and system reduces exposure time by varying the intensity and wavelength of the UV administered, while concurrently reducing UV overexposure.

Claim (Index 14):
A system for room disinfection using germicidal irradiation comprising:\n one or more hybrid germicidal irradiation disinfection apparatus operating in a communications network, the one or more hybrid germicidal irradiation disinfection apparatus comprising:\n a substantially rectangular housing having dimensions of approximately two feet in width and four feet in length; \n a first plurality of emitters coupled to the substantially rectangular housing, the first plurality of emitters operable to emit UV-C radiation at a wavelength of about 265 nanometers; \n a second plurality of emitters coupled to the substantially rectangular housing, the second plurality of emitters operable to emit near-UV radiation at a wavelength of about 405 nanometers; \n at least one visible light emitter coupled to the substantially rectangular housing; \n at least one germicidal radiation sensor coupled to the substantially planar array surface; \n a controller being housed in the substantially rectangular housing, the controller being operably engaged with the first plurality of emitters, the second plurality of emitters, the at least one visible light emitter, and the at least one UV-C sensor; \n a remote interface, the remote interface being communicably engaged with the controller of the one or more hybrid germicidal irradiation disinfection apparatus; and, \n a database, the database being communicably engaged with the controller and the remote interface.
