Used face masks are hazardous waste and must be discarded immediately upon
removal. Instead of throwing used masks into the disposal bin, disinfecting the
masks is essential to break the chain of infection spread. The development of
this device was attempted for COVID-19 management, with the following focus: (1)
solution which have sufficient science background established so that extensive
experimental validation need not be attempted during the lockdown period in
India. (2) Provide solution which could be replicated with local resources and
minimum material movement. Therefore, in response to the pressing societal demand
we designed, prototyped, verified and validated an UV-C-based multipurpose
disinfection device. The device after safety and efficacy evaluation as per the
Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) guidelines for novel COVID-19
solutions, received Central Drugs Control Standard Organization (CDSCO)
registration as non-notified medical device for commercialization.
