STETCUBE SANITISES WITH ADVANCED UV-C TECHNOLOGY
The stethoscope is the most used medical device on earth. Despite this statistic only 10-30% of clinical personnel attempt to clean or sanitize the stethoscope head piece between patient use.
This neglect exponentially increases the contamination on the chest piece that remains after every use. Consequently, the potential of transmitting infectious micro-organisms is real.
A recent survey shows that 5%-7% of Healthcare Associated Infections (HAI) and Clinic Acquired Infections (CAI) can be attributed to the use of the stethoscope.
STETCUBE is a small innovative UV-C sanitation cube, designed for easy use and constant access by doctors and healthcare professionals.
STETCUBE has a life of 50,000 uses, this equates to approximately A$0.008 cent per application (10 years min). Not much for peace of mind.
STETCUBE is light (100 gm) and has a small footprint that makes it perfect for use on the desk. A bracket is also supplied that permits the cube to be attached to a hospital trolley or wall mounted.
