Expressing what he says is a “strong desire” to contribute to “a private sector” initiative that responds to the vulnerabilities to which both patrons and staff of high-traffic establishments including shopping centres, banks, hospitals, and other public places, are exposed in the face of the prevailing coronavirus pandemic, Starr Computers President Mike Mohan earlier this week briefed the Stabroek Business on the new Starr Disinfectant Channel, a four-stage sanitising device which has been installed at the company’s Brickdam complex.
The walk-through monitoring and sanitising chamber deploys a thirty-second sanitising process that is applied prior to visitors accessing the interior of the premises being visited. Its first intervention is an infra-red (IR) ultra-fast temperature reader that is attached to the wrist, triggering an alarm if a fever is detected. This procedure is followed by a “touch-less hand sanitiser” followed by the dispensing of a neutralising mist that disinfects bacteria on the outer clothing or skin. Simultaneously, shoes are treated with a disinfection process.
