These are particularly useful for use in public places like a hotel, airport, factory or office. These are battery-operated, handy and easy to use thermometers, which do not require any trained technicians. Whilst they are by no means definitively accurate in the detection of COVID-19, they are widely being used across the world to detect potential symptomatic COVID-19 carriers.Pulse Oximeter – These easy-to-use devices simply clip on to your finger and measure pulse rate and blood oxygen saturations, which can be key indicators in viral infection.KN95 Masks – ViraxClear has developed its own range of KN95, FDA Registered and CE marked masks, which may be comfortably worn for hours.Disposable 3 Ply Masks – ViraxClear has developed its own range of FDA Registered and CE marked 3-ply disposable masks, which are particularly helpful travelling to and from work.Gloves – To reduce the risk of transmitting potential pathogens, particularly during travel to and from the workplace.Antimicrobial Hand Wipes – These wipes include active agents to kill certain types of potential pathogens.AdvantagesViraxClear EPE kit works to help keep the workplace safe in three ways:Limiting Contact Transmission: The antimicrobial wipes and gloves limit the transmission of germs from direct and indirect contact with the environment around us to our hands and face. This is applicable both travelling to and from work and whilst in the workplace.Limiting Airborne and Droplet Transmission: The use of 3-ply masks and KN95 masks can help to minimise the risk of respiratory viral transmission.Detection: Early detection of COVID-19 symptoms is key in limiting the spread of the virus.
