Abstract

The present invention relates to a kit for detecting the presence of a fluid, said kit comprising a portable device for sensing a fluid and communicating the presence of said fluid to a user, and a fluid permeable case comprising at least one internal cavity, wherein said at least one internal cavity is arranged to accommodate and releasably hold said portable device.

Claims

1. A kit for detecting the presence of a fluid, said kit comprising:

a portable device for sensing a fluid and communicating the presence of said fluid to a user, and a fluid permeable case comprising at least one internal cavity, wherein said at least one internal cavity is arranged to accommodate and releasably hold said portable device.

2. The kit according to claim 1, wherein said portable device comprises:

at least one sensing unit being arranged to sense the presence of a fluid,

a communication unit being configured to communicate the presence of a fluid to an external display unit, and

a housing accommodating said at least one sensing unit and said communication unit.

3. The kit according to claim 2, wherein said at least one sensing unit is arranged to measure the concentration of at least one gas in ambient air, said gas being a gas chosen from a group comprising carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, oxygen, nitrogen, and methane.

4. The kit according to claim 2, wherein said communication unit is arranged for wireless communication with said external display unit.

5. The kit according to claim 1, wherein said fluid permeable case further comprises a retrieval unit.

6. The kit according to claim 5, wherein said retrieval unit comprises a rope, wire or tether arranged to connect said fluid permeable case to a reference point.

7. The kit according to claim 1, wherein said fluid permeable case is made of a soft material.

8. The kit according to claim 1, wherein said fluid permeable case further comprises a first portion and a second portion, said first portion and said second portion being removably attachable to each other.

9. The kit according to claim 1, wherein said fluid permeable case is elastically deformable so that it is storable inside a container which has an internal volume which is between 5%-60% of the volume of said fluid permeable case in its expanded state.

10. The kit according to claim 1, wherein said fluid permeable case is spherical.

11. The kit according to claim 1, wherein said fluid permeable case is made of a material chosen from the group of polyurethane, rubber, latex, nylon, polychloroprene, polyvinyl chloride and/or any polymeric foam.

12. The kit according to claim 1, wherein said fluid permeable case is arranged as an inflatable case provided with apertures connecting said cavity to ambient air.

13. The kit according to claim 12, wherein said inflatable case is made of a material chosen from the group of rubber, latex, nylon, polychloroprene, and/or polyvinyl chloride.

14. The kit according to claim 1, wherein said kit further comprises a container having an internal volume which is between 5%-60% of the volume of said fluid permeable case in its expanded state.

15. The kit according to claim 1, wherein said kit further comprises a container having an internal volume which is between 5%-60% of the volume of said fluid permeable case in its expanded state plus the volume of the portable device for sensing a fluid.
