Abstract:
this study is an experimental research design that focuses on innovating a contactless surgical mask holder with an automotive alcohol dispenser. But the evaluation of CSMH-AAD is limited due to community quarantine. Surgical mask is a single-short-time use, meaning it has to be replaced immediately, therefore the primary function of the device is to give service without having any contact to the pump, and/or switch and a clean replacement on the disposed mask in order to promote a hygienic lifestyle. However, the product undergone a processes; Purposive Sampling method was used in selecting seven people to partake in the interview about CSMH-AAD's serviceableness. Their answers were reviewed and investigated through Code and Theme analysis. Inexpensive materials were used to construct the product, so that it may be sold in public with inexpensive, low-cost and reasonable price. Given the benefit of surgical mask, issues still occur and these are: shortness of breath, skin irritation and discomfort, manufacturing defect and elastic band's durability, and gaps in coverage capacity of the mask. However, it was concluded that CSMH-AAD is still efficient and can be accepted to the market, but on the other hand, durability of CSMH-AAD is quite questionable and is subject for improvement, so a more concrete materials is highly recommended to apply in the product. Other recommendations are to upgrade the design, sell the product with accurate and deserving cost, lastly, assess the device and enlist everything that will be needing an improvement to serve as guidance. Authors also recommended innovative structural design and advanced function that can be possibly done by other researchers.
