When exposed in the hospital, care center or other medical environment, the elderly or the vulnerable ones are at the high risk of getting cross-infection. In older age or frail patient groups, the immune system can be weakened, and they always have more sensitive skin, the risk of complications and consequential illnesses thus increases. Microbials or viruses can lead to serious health conditions, which is not what we expect.
Given that it’s easier and common for infections to spread from person to person in the above environments, it’s very important to identify the situations where there is a risk of cross-contamination. By identifying risk situations, we can manage and implement strategies for hygiene methods to reduce the risk of infection. Patients, healthcare professionals and visitors all play their part in ensuring safe care. One common situation is when the elderly or frail ones take daily vital signs measurements such as blood pressure monitoring, there is a high possibility that they will share one blood pressure monitor. Under such circumstances, the risk of microbial transmission is high.
Whether you own a medical grade blood pressure monitor separately or share with others, hygiene is essential to keep you away from infection. Even though it is hard to avoid all those microbial causes in the medical environment, there is some way we can do to avoid or control the risk at the lowest level. TeleRPM BPM Gen 2 ideally helps you tackle this problem.
With years of expertise in design and manufacturing blood pressure monitors and other medical devices, we know our products and know the person who use them. For the elderly and frail ones, safety and hygiene of the products are as important as robust function and ease of use features. This time, with innovative and industry-leading technology, Transtek rolls out TeleRPM BPM Gen 2, the first antimicrobial BPM in the world. Equipped with an antimicrobial cover outside, it builds up a wall to protect the microbial that may leave on the surface. The BPM antimicrobial activity rate is ≥99% according to the SGS test report it passed. Our customers, especially the elderly, can use it safely during each measurement.
We know that caring for the elderly means that you also cater to their well-being and pay attention to their specific needs. Sanitizing products that are efficiently adapted for sensitive skin is both a good addition and proof of concern for your aged patients.
