First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for verifying and monitoring hand washing and sanitizing practices comprising the steps of:
- measuring skin surface pH of at least one of a hand and a lower arm of a user; and
comparing said skin surface pH of said at least one of a hand and a lower arm of said user with a predetermined skin surface pH range, wherein a measured skin surface pH below a predetermined pH number on said skin surface pH range indicates that said at least one of a hand and a lower arm of said user being improperly washed and wherein a measured skin surface pH above a predetermined pH number on said skin surface pH range indicates that said at least one of a hand and a lower arm of said user being properly washed.

19. A method for verifying and monitoring hand washing and sanitizing practices comprising the steps of:
-
placing a pH measuring device on at least one skin surface of at least one of a hand and a lower arm of a user; holding said pH measuring device in contact with said at least one skin surface for between approximately ten and approximately thirty seconds; reading at least one measurement of at least one skin surface pH from said pH measuring device; and comparing said skin surface pH of said at least one of a hand and a lower arm with a predetermined skin surface pH range, wherein a measured skin surface pH below a predetermined pH number on said skin surface pH range indicates that said at least one of a hand and a lower arm of said user being improperly washed and wherein a measured skin surface pH above a predetermined pH number on said skin surface pH range indicates that said at least one of a hand and a lower arm of said user being properly washed. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23)

24. A system for verifying and monitoring hand washing and sanitizing practices comprising:
-
a pH measuring device for measuring skin surface pH of at least one of a hand and a lower arm of a user; and a predetermined skin surface pH range to which said skin surface pH of said at least one of a hand and a lower arm is compared, wherein a measured skin surface pH below a predetermined pH number on said skin surface pH range indicates that said at least one of a hand and a lower arm of said user being improperly washed and wherein a measured skin surface pH above a predetermined pH number on said skin surface pH range indicates that said at least one of a hand and a lower arm of said user being properly washed. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
