Develop an emesis container which effectively contains both fluid and virus particles from emesis to decrease the spread of norovirus.

Project Overview

When emesis occurs, norovirus particles are spread throughout the air. According to the CDC, only a few particles are needed to make someone sick. This project creates an emesis container that contains these particles through negative pressure. The device incorporates the average emesis bag as a removable element. The bag is attached to a ring which has a vacuum to remove norovirus particles from the air.
