“Our solution consists of three aromatic tests that determine the state of smell of the person less than five minutes. In addition, we have the ability to produce such kits cheap that will allow you to check thousands of people a week,” – said the University Professor Eduardo Agosin.
it is Assumed that these inspections can be arranged at entrances to office buildings, educational and medical institutions. The person will offer to sniff a few strips of paper, which are deposited on substances with different flavors. Then you will need to choose from the options those smells that people recognize. This procedure is repeated several times. If you identified a violation of smell, that person will be directed to the isolation and conduct a PCR test for coronavirus.
Agosin also noted that the advantage of this test lies not only in its speed and low cost. He stressed that the massive use of their technologies will enable more focused and efficient use of serological tests, whose number in the country continues to be restricted.
“Initially, the idea arose to protect the medical staff and those who attend educational institutions. Also for workers in the productive sectors of the economy, such as mining and agribusiness, and for critical services that must continue to function during a pandemic,” said the Professor.
it is Noted that the work on the new test, active participation, and students of the University. By the way, four students on the basis of the faculty of engineering of the same University has developed a working version of the portable ventilator. It is noted for its economic efficiency, technical simplicity and the stability. This allows the ventilator to operate in different modes of ventilation, depending on volume, pressure and speed of inhalation/exhalation.
