TIMESTRIP is targeting healthcare providers with time and temperature based solutions to problems in the healthcare environment with a new product range – Timestrip Medical.
TimestripIV has been designed to help hospitals comply with existing policy directives that stipulate the need to change Peripheral Intravenous Cannulae (PVCs) every 72 hours. Since staff may not know when an intravenous line was fitted, current timekeeping methods can be inaccurate. The solution is a cheap, simple and accurate timing device that changes colour to indicate how long an intravenous line has been in use, and how soon it will need to be checked or changed. As soon as the cannula has been fitted, staff can push a button to activate the device. Once it has been activated, a clear panel on the Timestrip gradually fills up with ink, indicating when the cannula should be checked. The product is currently being used at the Whittington, and Luton and Dunstable hospitals.
