摘要：
Devices and methods to disinfect a medical appliance, such as an IV pole, using ultraviolet light, including ultraviolet C (UVC) light, are disclosed. The devices and methods expose contaminated exterior surfaces of the IV pole to UVC light. The UVC light may be emitted from within the IV pole or may be emitted from a source surrounding the IV pole. A controller controls the duration and intensity of the exposure. A proximity sensor detects the proximity of a healthcare worker or patient.
