B. Braun’s new SAXA Anesthesia Disinfection Workstation includes the new DOCit and HubScrub disposable disinfection devices, which are designed to help organize the anesthesia work space in an operating room. The DOCit device is intended to disinfect and clean syringe tips and male luer connectors, and the HubScrub device is intended to disinfect and clean needleless connectors and stopcocks. The DOCit device is designed to organize and protect syringe tips and other male luer connectors from contamination. The DOCit device scrubs and disinfects male luer tip connectors and needleless syringes with 70 percent isopropyl alcohol (IPA). Disinfection of the male luer tip occurs after two 360-degree rotations within 10 seconds.The HubScrub device is a female luer disinfector and cleaner with 70 percent IPA. Disinfection of the needleless connector is achieved after two 360-degree rotations within 10 seconds. The HubScrub device can provide a microbial barrier to contamination for up to 7 days if not removed.
O2COOL’s portable, healthcare battery-operated fans are an ideal solution for achieving cost-effective infection prevention protocols while safely improving patient comfort. Traditional electric fan equipment used in hospital rooms must be sterilized prior to reuse. Hospitals can send the portable fan home with the patient upon discharge eliminating the need for sterilization. Additionally, O2COOL battery-operated fans prevent shock and tripping hazards created by corded fans and can be placed anywhere in the room, independent of AC outlets, for improved patient comfort. The fans also utilize Ultra-Fresh antimicrobial technology which helps to inhibit the growth of bacteria to keep the fan fresh, hygienic and odor-free. Additionally, they are FCC compliant to ensure that it does not create any interference with hospital electronics.
Endoscope tracking software
UNIFIA, by Olympus, is an endoscope documentation, workflow and asset management software platform. Unifia helps staff supervisors, infection prevention champions and supply chain managers have greater visibility into the utilization, cleaning, reprocessing and storage of the flexible endoscopes in their departments. Unifia utilizes the proprietary, built-in RFID technology of Olympus endoscopes and OER-Pro reprocessors to track an endoscope’s movement throughout the GI lab. Wireless scanners, used to track an endoscope’s journey, collect information on the asset’s real time location, patient interactions and user performance. Unifia makes it possible to track and visualize an endoscope’s movement, from the front desk to storage room and all stops in between, in order to better understand trends, conduct analysis and act accordingly. This tracking creates a permanent electronic reprocessing and location record that associates patient, user and endoscope data together in a single system. Data can be used in Unifia’s Infection Prevention and Materials and Asset Management modules to identify areas for improvement, including accuracy of reprocessing documentation, staff performance, asset utilization and repair history.
