Abstract (en)

[origin: GB2593984A] A hand sanitiser monitor 1 in association with a hand sanitiser dispenser 3, the monitor 1 having a first sensor 10 giving a visual, aural or other output on detection of a person. The output may be illuminating or flashing LEDs 14 or a sound emitted by a speaker 13. The monitor 1 may sense dispensing of sanitiser and provides an alert when the need to replenish or replace the sanitiser 3 is identified. This can be done by detecting the number of uses, length of time of use of hand sanitiser, or by weighing the sanitiser dispenser by a pressure pad 11. Preferably the associated hand sanitiser dispenser is a hoop or U-shape (fig. 4A and 4B) with one or more inwardly directed apertures (28, fig. 4A and 4B) to direct the sanitiser to a person’s hand(s) placed within the hoop or U-shape. There may be a further sensor 4 initiating spraying of sanitiser.
