Each year in the United States, patients get approximately 1.7 million infections in the hospital while they are being treated for something else. These Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAI) result in nearly 100,000 patient deaths per year. 1
Research conducted at the University of Wisconsin Hospital & CliniCASE OF Madison, identified that 77% of ECG leads were contaminated with one or more antibiotic-resistant nosocomial pathogens. It was concluded that “the attachment of contaminated lead wires to a new patient can result in colonization and ultimately in invasive infection by multiresistant nosocomial microorganisms.” 2 1 Yokoe, DS et al (2008). “A Compendium of Strategies to Prevent Healthcare-Associated Infections in Acute Care Hospitals.” Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology.
