Infectious Diseases: Control and Prevention

Infection Control Products/Infection Rates

Consistency and streamlined processes are critical to infection control and prevention. Solutions for reducing hospital-acquired infections must be intuitive, efficient and easy to implement. Our infection prevention portfolio includes products to address: catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI), central line-associated blood stream infections (CLABSI), surgical site infections (SSI), pneumonia prevention (HAP and VAP) and surface disinfection. infection rates are frequently calculated by dividing the number of infections acquired during a month by the number of patients discharged during that month. On the basis of the rate of infections per patient-day, it is possible to test for interhospital and intrahospital differences as well as for differences over time.
