PDC Healthcare has added TimeAlert IV time-indicating reminder labels to its product offering for hospitals and healthcare providers. TimeAlert IV is a simple, smart indicator on the market for IV tubing change that is easily activated with a push of a button and uses color-changing technology to provide an easy-to-read visual cue when IV tubing needs to be changed.
TimeAlert IV is available in 72-hour and 96-hour formats and is intended for use with IV tubing to allow any caregiver to know at a glance how much time has elapsed since last change, supporting CDC and hospital protocols for timely IV changes.
TimeAlert IV time-indicating reminder labels help hospitals comply with current protocols; the CDC’s recommendation for IV tubing changes; and The Joint Commission’s National Patient Safety Goal 07.04.01. Once activated and applied to an IV tubing line, the device monitors the passing of time and indicates when the specified period has been reached, allowing clinicians to quickly and efficiently check and change IV tubing lines, as required by hospital protocol.
“The vast majority of hospitals already recognize the clinical value in IV change reminder labels to help ensure timely IV changes. Working with our hospital clients, we developed TimeAlert IV to make it easier for time-strapped caregivers to get a visual reminder plus added accountability and convenience,” said Heather Hudson, marketing manager for PDC Healthcare.
