Abstract
A unit for detecting contaminating agents, especially in dental surgeries, comprises detecting-transducing means of a chemical, biochemical or electrical type designed to detect a quantity as a function of a variable to be checked and to provide an electrical signal corresponding to the quantity detected; and means for signaling the quantity, connected to the detecting-transducing means.
Claims20
A unit for detecting contaminating agents, especially in dental surgeries, comprising:
- detecting-transducing means of a chemical, biochemical or electrical type designed to detect a quantity as a function of a variable to be checked and to provide an electrical signal corresponding to the quantity detected;
- means for signaling the quantity, connected to the detecting-transducing means.
The unit according to any of the foregoing claims, wherein the detecting-transducing means consist of an electrode connected to the signaling means and set according to the variable to be detected.
The unit according to any of the foregoing claims, wherein the detecting-transducing means consist of a bio-sensor connected to the signaling means and set according to the variable to be detected.
The unit according to any of the foregoing claims, wherein the detecting-transducing means consist of an electrode connected to the signaling means and preset according to a defined threshold.
The unit according to any of the foregoing claims, wherein the detecting-transducing means consist of a bio-sensor connected to the signaling means and preset according to a defined threshold.
The unit according to any of the foregoing claims, wherein the signaling means comprise an audible warning element activated by the aforementioned electrical signal upon detection of the quantity by the detecting-transducing means.
The unit according to any of the foregoing claims, wherein the signaling means comprise a unit for displaying the quantity detected and activated by the electrical signal upon detection of the quantity by the detecting-transducing means.
A dental unit of the type with at least one main conduit for supplying a user fluid to a plurality of branches which supply the fluid to a set of handpieces and to patient-user units, the dental unit comprising the following as built-in parts of it:
- detecting-transducing means of a chemical, biochemical or electrical type designed to detect a quantity as a function of a variable to be detected in the user fluid and to provide an electrical signal corresponding to the quantity detected;
- means for signaling the quantity, connected to the detecting-transducing means.
A dental unit of the type with at least one second conduit for aspirating a fluid from a patient undergoing treatment, the dental unit comprising the following as built-in parts of it:
- detecting-transducing means of a chemical, biochemical or electrical type designed to detect a quantity as a function of a variable to be detected in the fluid aspirated from a patient and to provide an electrical signal corresponding to the quantity detected;
- means for signaling the quantity, connected to the detecting-transducing means.
