COVID-19 APPLICATIONS
There are a myriad of applications for Timestrip time and temperature indicator labels in healthcare
We often get asked what exactly our Timestrip products do and tend to say:
“Timestrip adhesive indicators show if how long an item has been in use, or how long a temperature breach lasted.”
However, you probably haven’t imagined all the possibilities of our versatile technology. Here’s a quick rundown of the most common products requested to combat the COVID-19 pandemic:
PPE REPLACEMENT
Our time indicators are an alert tool to remind hospital workers Personal Protection Equipment must be replaced regularly to reduce the chance of virus transmission.
12 hour Time Indicator: Hospitals have been requesting 12 hour indicators to remind staff to replace PPE during shortages when they can not be replaced more frequently.
FIXTURE SANITISATION
Hospital curtains and semi fixtures can harbor dangerous levels of bacteria. When hospital rooms are not sanitised regularly, or medical components in hospitals are not replaced, patients and staff are at risk of Hospital Acquired Infections.
3 Month Indicator: Hospital Curtain replacement
3 Day: IV cannula replacement
ANTIBACTERIAL REPLACEMENT
Individuals are being urged by governments to practise social distancing, observe more rigorous hygiene
procedures including the use of hand sanitisers. After opening, they have a finite shelf life before replacement is required. Timestrip time indicators can be affixed at the individual product level and activated when opening. They assure individuals and healthcare workers sanitizers are used at peak efficacy.
2 Years: Most sanitizers have a 2 year PAO. Ask about custom time ranges.
LABORATORY SPECIMENS
Our smart labels are also used for the diagnostic testing and biological specimen transportation. Time indicators can be used in diagnostic kits to monitor reaction time. Temperature indicators show if biological specimens have been kept within WHO guidelines.
Timestrip Complete: 2-8°C shipment temperature monitor
Timestrip PLUS -20°C: frozen biological specimen shipments
Time Indicators: Can be customised for specific time to measure the time since test was started.
