SYSTEM FOR MINIMIZING RISK OF TRANSMISSION OF INFECTION
Disclosed herein are systems for minimizing the risk of transmission of SARS-COV-2 and/or other infectious diseases between individuals in close proximity to one another. Said systems may comprise a substantially transparent shield component, a chamber component, and a suctioning component. The systems of the present disclosure are intended to remove any SARS-COV-2 virus and/or other infectious agents that may be travelling within aerosols.
1 . A system for mitigating risk of transmission of an infectious disease comprising:
a transparent shield component comprising a camera communicatively connected to a display screen;
a chamber component; and
a suctioning component for suctioning aerosol attached to an interior surface of said shield component out of the space between said shield component and an individual occupying a chair over which the shield component has been placed;
wherein the transparent shield component is operatively attached to the chair by a collapsable and extendable mechanical arm;
wherein said display screen is located within the transparent shield component; and
wherein the transparent shield component, the chamber component, and the suctioning component, comprise a single integrated unit.
2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein said display screen comprises a liquid crystal display screen.
3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the transparent shield component comprises a dental tray.
4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the transparent shield component is connected to a dental lamp.
5 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the suctioning component comprises a hose connected to the transparent shield component.
6 . The system of claim 5 , wherein the transparent shield component comprises light emitting diodes exuding light toward the interior of the individual's mouth.
7 . The system of claim 6 , wherein the transparent shield component comprises plastic and wherein said plastic is selected from the group consisting of: polymethyl methacrylate, cellulose acetate butyrate, polycarbonate, and glycol modified polyethylene terephthalate.
