Abstract

The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the evaluation process to select the Aerosol Suction Machine (ASM) design to be implemented in a dental treatment practice to prevent the spread of COVID-19. There are two designs evaluated, the movable ASM and the fixed mounting ASM. The evaluation process involved four evaluation criteria: flexibility, safety level, manufacturability, and maintenance. The evaluation is conducted based on a specific requirement of a small dental clinic located in Surakarta, Indonesia. The evaluation results show that the fixed mounting is more suitable for implementing in a small dental clinic with many natural ventilation openings.
