ORAL AND BODY MALODOR MEASUREMENT DEVICE
HALITOMETER + OLFACTOMETER
The Halitor is mainly reads oral
malodor.
Halitor contains 4 electrochemical sensors, as a portable halitometer.
Halitor reads any odor emitted from the body and it can be used as an
olfactometer (checks olfactor perception).
To understand halitosis.
Halitosis looks like headache. If the patient says there is halitosis
in his mouth, then, there is. It is difficult to arithmetically measure
halitosis within a scale, like headache.
Gas concentrations of halitosis alter within day even every 120
seconds. It is almost impossible to diagnose Halitosis by once
reading mouth air by a sulfid detector. If this is made, usually
wrong, or incomplete diagnose occurs. Halitometers should be used only
for
1) confirmation,
2) comparing , and
3) monitoring the therapy of halitosis, but not for a diagnostic
purpose alone. The Halitor is produced for these three purposes.
Why the Halitor is the most qualified
halitometer:, what are differenceses from others.?
1- Other halitometers read
only H2S and sulfurous gases, but halitosis and body odor does not
consist of sulfurous gases. Organic and nitrogen based gases also
contribute malodor production. Halitor detects all other gases too. We
need this.
2- Halitor can be switched
to 2 position, reading and zeroing. reading takes 1 minute only. Other
halitometers 3,8 or more minutes are required. The second position is
for zeroing. This takes seconds. One of most populer halitometer
requires even half an hour to reurn normal reading position by zeroing.
3- Front panel of Halitor is
lighted whle other halitometers are not.
4- Halitor is designed user
friendly by a dentist, not by other (commercially working) people. Only
a dental professional can know what a doctor needs while reading
halitosis. Very thin details are thought. For instance, air pump
entrance is at right side to provide maximum comfort. Angle of the box
is adjustable according to dctor's eyes. Many many more successful
details added.
5- Olfactometers reads odor
prception thershold of the patient. Halitor can do this. No other
halitometers can.
6- EVERY halitometers fail when it
accidentally aspirates saliva into the internal electronic instruments
and sensor circuits. But Halitor does not. ! Because Halitor contains
air filter to stop saliva. This is the first, worldwide.
How to use [user-manual]
Easy.
Start Halitor by pressing power button at rear panel. Wait 30 minute
one time for a daily use. Connect air pipe and straw. Press strat
button. 4 gas sensor begin to show gas concentrations. Insert to the
location wherever ypu need to read malodor. Wait until you satisfy to
read . Press end button. Last reading values are kept on the screen
until you press zero button. After you note the values, press zero
button. Pump will work very high speed to clean sensors. It will be
ready within seconds.
