Abstract：
Used face masks are hazardous waste and must be discarded immediately upon removal. Instead of throwing used masks into the disposal bin, disinfecting the masks is essential to break the chain of infection spread. The development of this device was attempted for COVID-19 management, with the following focus: (1) solution which have sufficient science background established so that extensive experimental validation need not be attempted during the lockdown period in India. (2) Provide solution which could be replicated with local resources and minimum material movement. Therefore, in response to the pressing societal demand we designed, prototyped, verified and validated an UV-C-based multipurpose disinfection device. The device after safety and efficacy evaluation as per the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) guidelines for novel COVID-19 solutions, received Central Drugs Control Standard Organization (CDSCO) registration as non-notified medical device for commercialization.
摘要：
用过的口罩是危险废物，必须在移除后立即丢弃。与其把用过的面具扔进垃圾箱，消毒口罩对于打破感染传播链至关重要。该设备的开发试图用于COVID-19管理，具有以下重点：（1）具有足够科学背景的解决方案，因此在印度的封锁期间无需尝试广泛的实验验证。(2)提供可以用本地资源和最小的材料移动复制的解决方案。因此,为了响应我们设计的紧迫的社会需求，原型,验证并验证了基于UV-C的多用途消毒装置。根据印度医学研究理事会(ICMR)新型COVID-19解决方案指南，该装置经过安全性和有效性评估后，收到中央药品管制标准组织（CDSCO）注册为非通知医疗器械的商业化。
