Abstract
The present disclosure provides for methods, systems and apparatus for monochromatic UV light sterilization of container systems and/or container-packaged products. More particularly, the present disclosure provides for improved methods, systems and apparatus for monochromatic UV light sterilization of liquid and/or solid products/solutions and/or packaging/container systems for liquid and/or solid products/solutions (e.g., parenteral pharmaceutical products/solutions and/or packaging/container systems for parenteral pharmaceutical products/solutions). In exemplary embodiments, the present disclosure provides for improved systems and methods for the sterilization of container systems and/or container-packaged products using monochromatic, continuous wave, high-intensity, incoherent light in multiple light source configurations, wherein such sterilization regimen achieves a desired sterilization level without negatively affecting the physical properties of the package/container systems and/or the efficacy of the underlying products/systems.
