Abstract
An electrically powered integrity checking device for detection of breaches in protective garments under conditions of a potential for exposure to any one of bodily fluids and hazardous fluid materials. The device comprises a connector for electrically connecting a person wearing a protective garment to the device and a second connector to a fluid source. The device comprises a current source, an alarm, with constant monitoring of integrity of each connection during use of the device. A breach in the protective garment allows ingress of fluid through the breach, results in a completed circuit from the current source means, between the person wearing the protective garment and the fluid source, which triggers said alarm. The connector comprises a reusable spring loaded clamping structure which maintains pressure terminal contact with the person.
