Pressurized Rooms
CenTrak's automated differential air pressure (DAP) monitoring system provides continuous, wireless, and NIST-certified real-time surveillance of hospital room pressures with multi-modal alerts and automated compliance reporting to enhance infection control, improve safety, and streamline staff workflow in clinical environments such as isolation rooms and surgery suites.
Differential Air Pressure Monitoring for Clinical Environments
Prevent airborne contagions from circulating in healthcare facilities with 24/7 electronic hospital room pressure monitoring. This technology is often used in key compliance areas such as isolation rooms and surgery suites. Audible and visual alerts immediately notify staff of any unsafe conditions.
Benefits of Automated DAP Monitoring
- Continuous Monitoring: Wireless LCD display sensors and real-time alerting (email, text, visual, and audible indicators) enable immediate corrective action if environmental conditions destabilize.
- Improved Safety: Proper containment of dangerous airborne diseases protects patients, staff, and visitors.
- Efficiency: Manual monitoring and documentation of air pressure changes is time-consuming and less precise. Automated solutions free up staff for value-added tasks and ensure compliance with room pressure guidelines.
Features of CenTrak's DAP Monitoring Solution
- Always-On Monitoring: Provides continuous DAP data for effective infection prevention strategies.
- Comprehensive Solution: Includes LCD-display sensors, software applications, and NIST certification services.
- Automated Compliance Reports: Reliably measures differential air pressure, temperatures, and ambient humidity levels throughout the facility.
Key Capabilities
- Safety Monitoring: Real-time alerts for immediate corrective action.
- Reliable Alerts: Multi-year battery life with single AA battery and low battery warnings.
- Unmatched Precision: NIST traceable calibration by certified staff or partners.
- Simple Implementation: Easily installed on the exterior of the monitored room.
Integration and Scalability
- Enterprise Solution: Wireless, real-time differential air pressure monitoring system integrates with other environmental monitoring needs.
- Immediate Notifications: Staff can take action to protect patients and staff when conditions change.
Differential Air Pressure Sensors
- Used in patient isolation rooms, surgical operating rooms, and sterile processing departments.
- Real-time monitoring of airflow to detect pressure changes between adjoining rooms or hallways, preventing airborne pathogens from circulating.
- Dual-port pressure sensor for accurate monitoring.
- 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
- Continuous visibility into critical care and sensitive areas.
- Alerts based on sensing values, sensor status (probe disconnect, low battery), and process breakdowns.
- Custom escalation paths for staff action when conditions fall outside safe parameters.
- Corrective actions are automatically logged for sensor and alert management.
- Active Directory integration for notifications based on staff scheduling and permissions.
- Rapid configuration of sensors, alerts, and users via import/export tools.
- Alerts sent via SMS/MMS, email, phone calls, alarms, lights, and strobes.
Regulatory Reporting
- Auto-generated compliance reports and sensor history audit logs.
- Custom grouping (departmental views) or individual device reporting.
- Eliminates manual documentation and reduces human error.
- Supports compliance with Joint Commission, State Board of Health, and FDA 21 CFR Part 11.
Environmental Monitoring Technology
