A disinfection device includes a radiation lamp () having an aperture for delivering radiation. A flexible shroud () surrounds a perimeter of the aperture. The shroud includes a surface configured to deform and create a seal around the aperture when in contact with a target surface. A sensing circuit () is configured to sense a state of the seal and enable the radiation lamp when the seal is complete.

A neonatal feeding tube () includes electronics and instrumentation for monitoring a neonate and for provides nourishment to the neonate. The tube () includes electrodes () for sensing ECG signals of the neonate. Thermistors () are placed at various points along the tube () to measure the neonate's temperature at those points. Breathing effort is measured by calculating a pressure differential at two pressure ports (). Pulse and SpOare measured at a fiber optic window (). The electrodes (), a distal electrode () and a light source () aid in helping a caregiver position the tip () of the tube () correctly in the stomach of the neonate.
