A method for optical detection of residual soil on articles (such as medical instruments and equipment), after completion of a washing or a rinsing operation by a washer. A soil detection system provides an indication of soil on the articles by detecting luminescent radiation emanating from the soil in the presence of ambient light.

Apparatus for optical detection of bio-contaminants based upon measurement of saturation of light intensities at fluorescence wavelength relative to light intensities at a predetermined wavelength

A method for optical detection of residual soil in lumens of lumened or cannulated devices such as surgical endoscopes, after undergoing a decontamination process (e.g., a washing or rinsing operation). A soil detection system provides an indication of the presence of residual soil within a lumen by detecting luminescent radiation emanating from the soil on the interior of the lumen in response to excitation light.

Method and apparatus for optical detection of bio-contaminants within a lumen

There is described a method of manufacturing a reflector unit on a photonic chip. The method generally has a step of providing a substrate having a top surface with a region of interest, the region of interest being covered with a bulge of a removable material; monolithically integrating a layer of metallic material over a portion of the top surface adjacent to the bulge and over a portion of the bulge, the layer of metallic material forming a base monolithically integrated to the top surface and a pocket monolithically integrated over the bulge in a manner leaving a portion of the bulge uncovered; and removing the bulge of the removable material to form a reflector unit for reflecting light incoming from the region of interest or towards the region of interest.
