Disinfectant dispenser for storing and delivering an agent for disinfecting surfaces and/or skin, disinfectant and method for publically signalling a disinfected state of persons
The invention relates to a disinfectant dispenser configured to store and dispense a surface and/or skin disinfectant, the disinfectant dispenser including a first storage container including a disinfectant; a second storage container ( 4 ) a including marking agent, wherein the marking agent is inactive in the second storage container; and a mixing section in which the marking agent is mixed with the disinfectant when the disinfectant dispenser is actuated, wherein the marking agent is provided in an inactive state after it is dispensed from the disinfectant dispenser. The disinfectant includes a disinfecting base component and a marking agent that is mixable with the base component, wherein the marking agent is inactive before it is mixed with the disinfecting base component and after mixing and applying the disinfectant to a surface the marking agent marks the disinfected surface through a coloration in a manner that is detectable by the human eye and also technically detectable, wherein the marking effect subsides with a subsiding disinfection state. The method for public signaling of a disinfection state of persons includes the steps: applying a disinfecting mix including a disinfecting component and a marking component to a skin area to be disinfected at a disinfection station and/or from a portable disinfectant dispenser; coloring the skin area to be disinfected by the marking component during the disinfection process; visible persistence of the coloration on the disinfected skin area, wherein the disinfected state of the skin area is signaled in a generally perceivable and detectable manner; and subsiding of the persistence of the coloration at the latest with subsiding sterility of the skin area, wherein a discoloration or change in color caused thereby is also signaled in a generally perceivable and detectable manner.
1. A method for public signaling of a disinfection state of persons, the method comprising the steps:
applying a disinfecting mix including a disinfecting component and a marking component to a skin area to be disinfected at a disinfection station ( 18 ) and/or from a portable disinfectant dispenser, the marking component comprising an anthocyanin colorant;
coloring the skin area to be disinfected by the marking component during the disinfection process;
persisting visually the coloration on the disinfected skin area, wherein the disinfection state of the skin area is signaled in a perceivable and detectable manner; and
subsiding of the persistence of the coloration on or before subsiding sterility of the skin area, wherein a discoloration or change in color caused thereby is also signaled in a perceivable and detectable manner.
2. The method according to claim 1 ,
characterized in that
the disinfected and colored skin area is registered by an access control arrangement ( 19 ) wherein an access of persons is allowed or blocked as a result of a registration process by the access control arrangement.
3. The method according to claim 1 ,
characterized in that
the disinfected and colored skin area is registered by an image capture and image recognition arrangement ( 20 , 21 ), wherein a disinfection monitoring of persons located in an area and/or of persons walking through particular pass through areas is provided as a result of the image capture and image recognition that is performed.
4. The method according to claim 1 ,
characterized in that
the visual persistence of the coloration on the disinfected skin area commences on or after a sterility of the skin area is caused by the disinfecting component.
5. A method for public signaling of a disinfection state of persons, the method comprising the steps:
applying a disinfecting mix including a disinfecting component and a marking component to a skin area to be disinfected at a disinfection station ( 18 ) and/or from a portable disinfectant dispenser;
coloring the skin area to be disinfected by the marking component during the disinfection process;
persisting visually the coloration on the disinfected skin area, wherein the disinfection state of the skin area is signaled in a perceivable and detectable manner; and
subsiding of the persistence of the coloration on or before subsiding sterility of the skin area, wherein a discoloration or change in color caused thereby is also signaled in a perceivable and detectable manner;
characterized in that
the visual persistence of the coloration on the disinfected skin area commences on or after a sterility of the skin area is caused by the disinfecting component;
characterized in that
the disinfecting component has a germicide effect, and
the visible persistence of the coloration on the skin area is caused by the germicide effect of the disinfecting component, wherein biological decomposition products thus generated cause a visible color reaction in the marking component.
6. The method according to claim 5 ,
characterized in that
the visible persistence of the coloration on the skin area is caused by the commencement of an evaporation process of the disinfecting component, wherein this causes a color reaction of the marking component.
7. The method according to claim 1 , characterized in that
a subsiding of the persistence of the marking component is caused by a disappearance of the coloration due to an impact of ambient air and an oxidizer, and/or by a bleaching due to an impact of ambient light and an oxidizer.
8. The method according to claim 1 , characterized in that a subsiding of the persistence of the marking component is caused by an impact of a second disinfectant.
9. A method for public signaling of a disinfection state of persons, the method comprising the steps:
applying a disinfecting mix including a disinfecting component and a marking component to a skin area to be disinfected at a disinfection station ( 18 ) and/or from a portable disinfectant dispenser, the marking component comprising an anthocyanin colorant;
coloring the skin area to be disinfected by the marking component during the disinfection process;
persisting visually the coloration on the disinfected skin area, wherein the disinfection state of the skin area is signaled in a perceivable and detectable manner; and
subsiding of the persistence of the coloration on or before subsiding sterility of the skin area, wherein a discoloration or change in color caused thereby is also signaled in a perceivable and detectable manner;
characterized in that
a subsiding of the persistence of the marking component is caused by a disappearance of the coloration due to an impact of ambient air and an oxidizer, and/or by a bleaching due to an impact of ambient light and an oxidizer.
