Patent Images
1. A system for monitoring sanitizer use, the system comprising:
- at least a first sanitizer dispenser operable to dispense sanitizer to a user'"'"'s hand;
an identification apparatus operatively associated with the first sanitizer dispenser, the identification apparatus being operable to automatically identify at least one of (a) the user, and (b) a first sanitizer container engaged with the first sanitizer dispenser;
a sanitizer dispenser operations monitor operatively associated with the first sanitizer dispenser, the sanitizer dispenser monitor comprising;
a consumables-authentication module in communication with the identification apparatus, the consumables-authentication module operable to obtain an identifier associated with the first sanitizer dispenser and verify that the obtained identifier matches a selected identifier associated with at least one of a sanitizer type, a sanitizer composition, a sanitizer volume, a sanitizer container shape, a sanitizer container size, and a sanitizer concentration.

Abstract
A system is provided for providing compliance verification of sanitizer use from a sanitizer dispenser. The system provides for identifying individual users of one or more sanitizer dispensers through technologies such as RFID. Individual'"'"'s use of sanitizer dispensers is monitored to determine compliance with sanitizer use requirements. A compliance report may be generated based on data associated with one or more individuals'"'"' use of the sanitizer dispenser(s). Additionally, the sanitizer dispenser may identify containers having authorized sanitizer.

30. A system for monitoring sanitizer use, the system comprising:
-
means for containing a sanitizer; means for dispensing the sanitizer to at least one hand of a user; means for automatically obtaining, in conjunction with the means for dispensing the sanitizer, an identifier associated with the means for containing the sanitizer and corresponding to at least one of a sanitizer type, a sanitizer composition, a sanitizer volume, a sanitizer container shape, a sanitizer container size, and a sanitizer concentration; and means for verifying that the obtained identifier matches a predetermined identifier; wherein the means for verifying is in communication with the means for automatically obtaining. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32, 33, 34)
