Byrne Medical Announces Launch of Verifind™ Protein Detection Kit
Conroe, Texas- October 5, 2011 - Byrne Medical, the leader in disposable infection prevention solutions, announces the official launch of its Verifind Protein Detection Kit. By swabbing any surface, Verifind can detect protein residues within 1 microgram sensitivity. With Verifind, clinicians and infection control staff can quickly see if and where residual blood, saliva, mucous, stool or any other form of protein remains.
“Infection prevention and patient safety within GI Endoscopy can take a dramatic step forward by introducing routine monitoring into current quality control protocols”, says Erica Dodson Imhoff, Product Manager. “This product will quickly let facilities know if their cleaning technique has left behind potentially infectious residual protein.”
Suggested areas to swab are telephones, bed rails, keyboards, light switches, endoscope carts, reprocessor lids, and other general surfaces within any GI Endoscopy or OR suite. Listed below are articles relating to bacteria remaining on surfaces within hospitals:
