Abstract
A cleaning wizard monitors and provides feedback for cleaning of medical equipment to ensure that cleaning is performed based on best practices. The cleaning wizard receives a video stream comprising an item of medical equipment and inputs a first set of video frames from the video stream into a first machine learning model. The first machine learning model is trained to output whether the first set of video frames corresponds to activity that initiates a cleaning protocol for the item of medical equipment. Responsive to the cleaning protocol being initiated, the cleaning wizard inputs a second set of video frames into a second machine learning model trained to output whether the second set of frames meets criteria of the cleaning protocol. Responsive to all criteria of the cleaning protocol being met, the cleaning wizard transmits a notification to an operator that the cleaning protocol is complete.
