Project Description:

This project is in response to COVID-19 pandemic. The goal was to deliver a low cost and easy to assemble tool to enable people to better self quarantine in their homes and keep other residents safe. Assembly is key, due to social distancing concerns, it needs to be assembled without an outside installer.

What is it?

A pre-fab chamber kit made of lightweight impermeable materials that is easy to assemble and requires no tools or special skills.

What does it do?

When used in conjunction with blocking the return air vent in a given room, it limits the passage of air and airborne particles from one room to the next. Limits the chances of spreading disease from one person to the entire household by providing extra protection.

How does it work?

It consists of a chamber with two zippered plastic doors, one on either end. Users can enter one side by opening then closing behind them the zipper and then opening then closing behind them the second zipper in sequence.

Items such as food, medicine, books, games etc. can be placed in the chamber from one side by a care giver and then retrieved from the other side. When items such as dirty dishes are returned, they can be sprayed with disinfectant while in the chamber and can be removed after a period of time.

Who needs one?

Any PUI (Person Under Investigation) or individuals that are self-quarantining after being exposed to the virus. Anyone that is diagnosed with Covid-19 and has not yet been hospitalized. Any essential worker that needs a space to decontaminate upon arriving at home after a day of working and potential exposure.
