Claims2
A recirculating vacuum system for increasing air hygiene in a medical examination room comprising:
- a) a vacuum device located within the medical examination room, the vacuum device having:
- a motor driving a suction fan located adjacent to an air inlet such that the fan produces a suction whirlwind;
- a water and dirt reservoir compartment;
- a pair of spaced apart filters, an ultraviolet ray device and an active carbon layer located between the spaced apart filters;
- and an air outlet located within the medical examination room;
- b) a hollow, universal arm having a first end communicating with the air inlet and having a second end;
- c) a mask mounted on the second end of the hollow universal arm, the mask having an opening communicating with the hollow, universal arm, whereby the suction whirlwind draws mist from a patient in the examination room into the vacuum device through the mask and the hollow universal arm, the whirlwind separating water and dirt from the mist, the mist then passing through the filters, the ultraviolet ray device and the active carbon layer before returning to the examination room through the air outlet;
- and
- d) a spotlight mounted within the mask.
