摘要：
A system for decontaminating a tube includes a signal generator configured to generate a signal. The system also includes an antenna configured to receive the signal from the signal generator. The antenna is configured to be inserted at least partially into a tube that is positioned at least partially within a body. In response to receiving the signal from the signal generator, the antenna emits electromagnetic waves that at least partially decontaminate the tube. The electromagnetic waves have a frequency from about 10 GHz to about 100 GHz. The electromagnetic waves cause a temperature of the body proximate to the tube to increase less than about 3° C. over a time duration that is up to 40 seconds.
