Healthcare's Trusted Negative Pressure Room Monitoring
CenTrak’s automated differential air pressure (DAP) monitoring solution provides healthcare facilities with continuous, wireless, and NIST-certified real-time monitoring of negative pressure rooms—such as isolation and surgery suites—featuring LCD display sensors, multi-channel alerts (email, text, visual, audible), automatic compliance reporting, and easy installation to ensure immediate corrective action, enhance infection control, and reduce manual monitoring burdens.
Differential Air Pressure Monitoring for Clinical Environments
Prevent airborne contagions from circulating in healthcare facilities with 24/7 electronic hospital room pressure monitoring. Commonly used in compliance areas such as isolation rooms and surgery suites, audible and visual alerts immediately notify staff of any unsafe conditions.
Actively and Reliably Monitor for Unsafe Changes in Differential Air Pressure
Through wireless LCD display sensors and real-time alerting functionality (email, text, visual and audible indicators on the device), CenTrak’s DAP monitoring solution facilitates immediate corrective action by staff if environmental conditions begin to destabilize. This helps keep patients, staff, and visitors safe through proper containment of dangerous airborne diseases.
Challenges of Manual Monitoring
Manually recording DAP measurements is not precise or timely enough to ensure compliance with all room pressure guidelines. It is also time-consuming for staff who could otherwise focus on value-added tasks.
Automated DAP Monitoring Solution
CenTrak's environmental monitoring solution provides continuous DAP data for effective infection prevention. The enterprise-wide, end-to-end solution includes LCD-display sensors, comprehensive software applications, and NIST certification services. Features include:
- Automatic compliance report generation
- Reliable measurement of differential air pressure, temperatures, and ambient humidity levels
Key Benefits
- Safety Monitoring: Real-time alerts for immediate corrective action
- Reliable Alerts: Multi-year battery life with single AA and low battery warnings
- Unmatched Precision: NIST traceable calibration by CenTrak staff or certified partner
- Simple Implementation: Easily installed on the exterior of the monitored room
Integrated Environmental Monitoring
Optimize monitoring of hospital room environments with CenTrak’s wireless, real-time differential air pressure monitoring system. Receive immediate notifications when conditions change and take action to protect patients and staff.
Differential Air Pressure Sensors
Often used in patient isolation rooms, surgical operating rooms, and sterile processing departments, Differential Air Pressure sensors provide real-time monitoring of airflow to detect pressure changes between adjoining rooms or hallways. This prevents airborne pathogens from circulating the facility and reduces infection risks.
- Dual-port pressure sensor for accurate monitoring between adjoining areas
- Built-in LCD display for immediate data viewing, alarms, and local alert settings
- Configurable reporting and measurement rates (5 to 60 minutes)
- 2-year battery life with low-battery alert feature
Real-Time Alerting
Alert notifications are based on sensing values, sensor status (probe disconnect, low battery), and process breakdowns. Real-time alerts and custom escalation paths enable staff to take action when conditions fall outside safe parameters. Corrective actions are automatically logged in the system for sensor and alert management. With Active Directory integration, notifications can be routed based on staff scheduling and user permissions. Rapid configuration of hundreds of sensors, alerts, and users is possible through a simple import/export tool. Alerts are sent via:
- SMS/MMS
- Phone Calls
- Alarm, Lights, Strobes
Regulatory Reporting
CenTrak software automatically generates a variety of compliance reports and sensor history audit logs, based on custom groupings (e.g., departmental views) or individual devices. This eliminates the need for manual documentation and reduces the potential for human error.
- Joint Commission
- State Board of Health
- FDA 21 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 11
Environmental Monitoring Technology
The system operates under various network configurations, such as CenTrak UHF (900 MHz) and/or Wi-Fi (Cisco CCX, Aruba ACX, UDP), including support for WPA2 Enterprise deployments. Sensors support over-the-air firmware upgrades, are fully configurable in the field, and feature BLE connectivity for simple setup.
CenTrak technology also supports:
- Asset Tracking and Management
- Clinical Workflow Automation
- Staff and Patient Safety
