  • Patent number: 5695091
    Abstract: A unit suitable for wall mounting contains a supply of disinfectant and a proximity detector that senses an individual's approach. When an approaching individual is detected, the unit issues a visual and/or audible reminder to disinfect. A second proximity detector senses the presence of an individual's hands beneath a disinfectant ejection outlet, and the unit thereupon dispenses a predetermined amount of disinfectant. The invention may display compliance information including a compliance rate based on the ratio of alarms to actual dispensations of disinfectant, and may store historical compliance information for subsequent analysis.
