More Information
Summary:A light, such as an ultraviolet (UV) light, is used with a scanning test device in a scanning process of one or more of a user's hands to assess hand cleanliness according to a medical pre-treatment protocol for a medical treatment device, such as for a dialysis treatment using a home dialysis machine. If the scanning process results in a determination that the hands do not pass a cleanliness standard, the user is requested to perform a cleaning protocol and re-perform a scanning test. The scanning test device may be a smartphone, tablet device and/or other smart device running a software app that obtains and scans an image of the user's hand(s) illuminated by the UV light and makes an assessment of hand cleanliness according to an assessment algorithm. After passing the scanning test, the scanning test device signals to the treatment machine that the medical pre-treatment protocol may continue.
