Claim Text:
1. A Hand Hygiene Compliance Confirmation System (HHCCS) comprising: a. a Hand Hygiene Composition Dispenser (HHCD); b. a Hand Hygiene Composition Dispenser Monitor (HHCDM); and c. a Hand Hygiene Compliance Monitor (HHCM); wherein said HHCDM detects when said HHCD dispenses Hand Hygiene Composition (HHC) and signals said HHCM to start a clock so that if at least one hand of a person is presented to said HHCM within a pre-defined period of time from the time that said HHCDM sends said signal to said HHCM, said HHCM sends a signal to at least one display to indicate hand hygiene compliance; wherein said HHCCS initiates a routine selected from at least one of the following: initiating a sensor, and optionally a fan for drawing in and directing air over the sensor, of a detectable marker on or emanating from the skin of the at least one hand presented to the HHCM, if the hand hygiene composition (HHC) contains such a marker; initiating a configurable timer from the time the HHCM receives the signal from the HHCDM that HHC has been dispensed; and generating a confirmation signal if the at least one hand of the person has been detected by a confirmation signal generator within the time configured into the configurable timer.
