Join us for a virtual event featuring Aseptiscope.
Problem:
- Hand Hygiene is the cornerstone of infection control protocols attempting to curb Healthcare Associated Infections (HAI).
- In the US alone, HAI is responsible for 2 million patient infections, 400,000 deaths (HOSP + LTC), and $40 billion spent to address this challenge.
- It is now known that “The Clinician’s Third Hand,” The Stethoscope, carries pathogens and contaminants – but is rarely cleaned between patients.
- This highly efficient vector transmits pathogens from patient to patient, undermining hospital infection control protocols around the world.
- Standard practice is to clean the stethoscope diaphragm with alcohol for 60 seconds between patients, a wholly untenable process for high workflow healthcare delivery.
Solution:
- A disruptive technology will help make this problem go away – in 2 seconds: The DiskCover System – by AseptiScope.
