The PURELL ES4 Dispensing System is a hand hygiene solution designed for durability, reliability, and aesthetic appeal in healthcare and other settings. This system is engineered to provide a visible commitment to cleanliness, health, and well-being.
Function Description
The primary function of the PURELL ES4 Dispensing System is to dispense PURELL hand sanitizer and soap products. It is designed to be a user-friendly and efficient method for maintaining hand hygiene. The system utilizes a pump mechanism that delivers a measured amount of product when the dispensing bar is pressed. This ensures consistent usage and helps control product consumption. The system is compatible with various PURELL formulations, including hand sanitizers and high-performance healthy soaps, catering to different hand hygiene needs. The "SANITARY SEALED™" refills are a key feature, designed to help reduce the potential for contamination of the product, ensuring that each dispense is as hygienic as possible.
Usage Features
The PURELL ES4 Dispensing System incorporates several features to enhance its usability and convenience.
- AT-A-GLANCE™ Refill Design: This feature allows users to easily see when refills need to be changed. The transparent or translucent design of the refill bottles makes the product level visible, eliminating guesswork and ensuring timely replenishment.
- Easy Refill Replenishment: The process of changing refills is straightforward. To open the dispenser, users press release buttons located on the sides and slide the front cover down. An empty refill is removed by pushing a green release button. A new refill is then inserted until it clicks into place, and the dispenser cover is closed. Each new refill also refreshes the look of the dispenser, contributing to a consistently clean and well-maintained appearance.
- Distinct PURELL Brand Design: The dispenser is engineered with a clean, modern aesthetic that fits seamlessly into various environments, from healthcare facilities to offices and public spaces. Its design is intended to be unobtrusive yet recognizable as a PURELL product.
- Refill Recyclability: The refills are designed to be recyclable, supporting environmental sustainability efforts. After use, the PET bottle can be separated from the pump and collar for proper recycling.
- LOCK OR NOT™ Technology: This innovative feature allows the dispenser to be converted into a locking system. This can be particularly useful in public or high-traffic areas where security and control over the dispenser's contents are desired. The system can be locked using a key, preventing unauthorized access or tampering. Once locked, the dispenser requires the key to open. Conversely, the system can be manually unlocked, allowing for flexible management based on specific needs.
- Fully ADA Compliant: The dispenser is designed to meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance standards, ensuring it is accessible and usable by individuals with disabilities. This includes considerations for force required to operate the dispenser and its placement.
Maintenance Features
Maintaining the PURELL ES4 Dispensing System is designed to be simple and efficient, focusing on cleanliness and longevity.
- Refill Disposal/Recycling: The system facilitates responsible disposal of used refills. After separating the collar from the refill bottle using a flat blade screwdriver, the pump can be unscrewed and discarded, while the PET bottle can be recycled. This process is designed to be easy, encouraging proper waste management.
- Care and Cleaning Instructions: Regular cleaning is essential for maintaining hygiene and the appearance of the dispenser.
- Refill Removal Before Cleaning: It is crucial to always remove the refill before cleaning the dispenser. This prevents accidental actuation of soap or sanitizer during the cleaning process, ensuring safety and avoiding product waste.
- Routine Wiping: Dispensers should be routinely wiped with a soft, moist cloth. This helps remove dust, smudges, and light grime, keeping the dispenser looking clean.
- Targeted Cleaning: Special attention should be paid to cleaning under the dispenser and the push bar. These areas can accumulate product residue over time, and regular cleaning prevents buildup and maintains optimal functionality.
- Approved Cleaning Solutions: It is important to use appropriate cleaning agents. Abrasive cleaners or chemical solvents are explicitly discouraged as they can scratch the plastic and damage the labeling. Instead, hospital-approved disinfectants and other typical cleaning solutions are acceptable, ensuring effective sanitization without harming the dispenser's materials.
The PURELL ES4 Dispensing System is built on a foundation of over 70 years of dispensing innovation, aiming to provide a reliable, aesthetically pleasing, and easy-to-maintain solution for hand hygiene in diverse settings.
