ICP Medical LLC announces a partnership with Timestrip®, makers of a time monitoring device. The technology will be utilized in ICP Medical LLCs line of privacy curtains used in healthcare facilities nationwide. The Timestrip®s color-coded label monitors elapsed time and indicates when curtains should be replaced.
Our Rapid Refresh brand is all about simplifying the job of the healthcare worker by making it fast and easy to refresh a curtain," says Brian Sanders, president of ICP Medical LLC. "We are excited to offer a revolutionary product that makes managing curtain changes easy for increased compliance and a safer environment. The Timestrip® label on our Rapid Refresh curtains changes color after a specified time, informing the worker that its time to make the change."
Hospital privacy curtains can quickly become contaminated with bacteria such as methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and Clostridium difficile (C. diff). The Timestrip® indicator on the Rapid Refresh curtains, after being manually activated, automatically changes color during the recommended life of the curtain. When the indicator is completely red, the curtain needs to be changed.
ICP Medical LLCs Rapid Refresh product line is a proprietary brand of infection control and prevention products including disposable curtains, gowns, scrubs and jackets, lab coats, and personal protection equipment (PPE) organizers that conveniently dispense fresh product upon demand.
