Design and Fabrication of Automatic Uv Sterilization Equipment with Idle Laboratory Metal Cabinet During the Covid-19 Pandamic

Abstract

Design and fabrication of PPE, including N95 masks and filtering face piece respirators such as goggles and face shields, played a crucial role in ensuring the safety of both virus-affected individuals and medical staff, health workers. As the corona virus (Covid-19) spread exponentially across the globe, the demand for this basic equipment, particularly face protection shields, has risen significantly. There have been efforts to determine the various methods for preserving PPE kits for use after sterilisation. The focus of the present work was the fabrication of a model portable PPE kit steriliserutilising the UV ozone sanitization process for the recycling of N95 masks and goggles. Due to its compact size, can be utilised in public health settings such as hospitals, research facilities, schools, and laboratories. The adopted method was inexpensive, reusable, and well-suited for mass sanitation. The effectiveness of the sterilisation will be evaluated using a Microbe content detection device associated with the conventional sterilisation procedure and a cabinet made of metal with a complete finish. The first of its kind, the successful implementation of sterilisation for a wide variety of everyday items aided by a microbe content detection technique should be an effective tool for use in large communities, offices, and public spaces to combat the spread of infectious diseases.
