WORKSPACE ANALYTE SENSING SYSTEM AND METHOD USING A FAN TO MOVE SAMPLES FROM THE WORKSPACE TO THE SENSOR

摘要

A system and method for sensing and reporting atmospheric analyte levels in a workspace. The system includes (i) a remotely located gas analyte sensor, (ii) a tube attached to the sensor and defining a lumen through which the sensor is placed in fluid communication with a workspace, and (iii) a fan in sealed fluid communication with the lumen of the tube for continuously moving gaseous content from the workspace through the lumen and into operative engagement with the sensor. The method includes the steps of (a) placing the distal end of the tube within a workspace, (b) activating the fan so as to continuously move gaseous content from the workspace through the tube and into operative engagement with the sensor, and (c) sensing and reporting analyte levels in the workspace with the sensor.
