Isolation Rooms

Containing the spread of airborne infectious diseases in healthcare facilities is a major concern to patients,  medical staff and visitors. To prevent the spread of airborne infections, some specific rooms within a hospital are dedicated as airborne infectious isolation rooms. 
These rooms usually host patients who suffer from infectious diarrhea, tuberculosis, chickenpox and any other contagious diseases; However, the outbreak of some deadly epidemias such as the coronavirus COVID-19 imposed a need for these rooms to be upgraded with better equipment.
Medical staff have a constant interaction with patients who reside in isolation rooms for blood draws and injections. Not only do they have to walk in a contaminated area but they also have a physical interaction with patients in order to perform some intravenous procedures. 
Traditionally, in order to detect veins, nurses use a rubber band around the patient’s arm in order to restrain blood flow in that area and make veins ‘pop-out’ to the surface. In some cases, this technique is not enough so nurses have to ‘slap’ the treatment area in order to spot the veins. It is not surprising that this traditional way to detect veins is less likely to work especially for obese, elderly and dark-skinned patients.

Furthermore, having a prolonged physical interaction with a patient who has an airborne infectious diseases such as the coronavirus CODVID-19 is not really a wise choice as it is also, from the patient’s perspective, a very irritating and stressful method to spot the veins.
Vein finders represent one of the prefect equipment absolutely needed in isolation rooms and most of healthcare facilities. With the help of the near-infrared technology, SIFVEINSET-1.0  draws a roadmap in the patients’ skin, which allows nurses to make rapid, as well as, accurate injections.
The wheeled stand that supports the SIFVEIN-5.2 facilitates the mobility of the device, making it easier for the doctor to move it wherever they need.
