01. Project Info
Healthcare associated infections (HAI) are a $35 billion dollar annual cost to the medical industry. Stethoscopes are a known transmission vector for infection, yet they are rarely, if ever, cleaned, with up to 45% of providers having NEVER cleaned their stethoscope. SanScope is the solution.
SanScope is a small, wall-mounted device that provides rapid disinfection of a stethoscope through a combination of mechanical action and chemical disinfection.
02. Benefits of SanScope
Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs) are infections that patients get while receiving treatment for medical or surgical conditions.They are among the leading causes of preventable deaths in the United States & are associated with a substantial increase in health care costs each year.
A frequently sanitized stethoscope can be disinfected in less than 10 seconds. One HAI can cost a hospital roughly $13,000. SanScope kills 99.9% of the most common germs that cause illness and >90% of C. diff spores.
