Abstract

MÉTODOS E APARELHOS PARA SECAGEM E/OU HIGIENIZAÇÃO DE DISPOSITIVOS ELETRÔNICOS QUE INCLUEM DISPOSITIVOS DE AUXÍLIO AUDITIVO. Trata-se de um aparelho exemplificativo que compreende uma câmara de baixa pressão que tem um interior configurado para colocação de um dispositivo de auxílio auditivo no interior, sendo que a luz refletida da superfície interior da câmara de baixa pressão ilumina o dispositivo de auxílio auditivo em pelo menos um dentre antes, durante ou após uma operação de secagem para o dispositivo de auxílio auditivo; uma bomba de evacuação conectada à câmara de baixa pressão; um aquecedor conectado à câmara de baixa pressão, sendo que o aquecedor, que compreende uma superfície condutora em contato físico com o dispositivo de auxílio auditivo, aquece condutivamente o dispositivo de auxílio auditivo; um objeto para manter o dispositivo de auxílio auditivo em contato físico com a superfície condutora durante a operação de secagem para o dispositivo de auxílio auditivo; e pelo menos um sistema de controle conectado à bomba de evacuação e ao aquecedor.METHODS AND APPLIANCES FOR DRYING AND/OR SANITIZING ELECTRONIC DEVICES INCLUDING HEARING AID DEVICES. This is an exemplary apparatus comprising a low pressure chamber having an interior configured for placement of a hearing aid device therein, with light reflected from the inner surface of the low pressure chamber illuminating the hearing aid device in at least one of before, during or after a drying operation for the hearing aid device; an evacuation pump connected to the low pressure chamber; a heater connected to the low pressure chamber, the heater comprising a conductive surface in physical contact with the hearing aid device conductively heating the hearing aid device; an object to hold the hearing aid device in physical contact with the conductive surface during the drying operation for the hearing aid device; and at least one control system connected to the evacuation pump and heater.
