MS009: Pull ForcePull force shall allow 75% of workers to pull the cart and its contents.Pull force should allow 80+% of workers to pull the cart and its contents.Cart weight and height dimensions compared to ergonomic standards provided by OSU.
MS010: Disinfectant Storage*Component cart shall store 2 gallons of fluid.Component cart should store 1 gallon of fluid.Volumetric/tape measurement.
ES001: Safety FactorThe system will not pose any risk of injury via electrical shock to the user.N/ARecording static output of the attachment with a grounded probe. Compare to UL standards for high voltage exposure.
ES002: System Operational DistanceThe sprayer shall be able to operate more than 25 feet from an outlet.The sprayer should be able to operate more than 50 feet from an outlet.Measure length of the internal electronics’ power cord.
ES003: Stop SwitchThe component cart shall have a stop switch to cut power in the system.The wire connected to the ionizer should have a stop switch to cut power in the system.Operate system and while in use, hit the stop switch to show that power is no longer going to the device.
