PDC Healthcare to Display Its Line of Safe-D-Covers(TM) for
Detector and Cassette Protection at the 2014 APIC Conference
Covers Are Specially Designed to Protect Expensive X-Ray
Equipment From Fluid Penetration
VALENCIA, CA--(Marketwired
- May 21, 2014) - PDC Healthcare, the global leader of
innovative identification solutions, will exhibit its new expanded
line of Safe-D-Covers™ for cassettes and detectors at the 2014
Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology
(APIC) Conference, in booth #1550, from June 7 to 9, in
Anaheim, CA. APIC is the leading organization for infection
preventionists with members including nurses, physicians and public
health professionals.
PDC Healthcare's Safe-D-Covers™ help organizations protect their
X-ray equipment by providing a disposable, protective barrier
between the detector or cassette and the patient. Safe-D-Covers™,
with a ziplock closure, virtually eliminate the chance of fluids
coming in contact with a detector or cassette. Unlike pillowcases
or trash bags, tear-resistant Safe-D-Covers™ are specifically
manufactured to securely fit X-ray equipment, saving caregivers'
time and hassle from dealing with extra material to tuck or push
under patients. The covers are disposable and do not require
laundering, which has been identified as one of the six areas of
concerns, according to a study by the CDC.
"When a cassette or detector becomes soiled, caregivers are
required to disinfect them after each use and wait 10 minutes
before the next X-ray, which is time consuming at busy hospitals,"
said Sara Stickle, Marketing Manager for PDC Healthcare.
"Safe-D-Covers™ with ziplocks are much more efficient because they
seal, allowing technicians to move quickly from patient to patient
while protecting the cassette or detector from fluid."
PDC Healthcare will also exhibit its new DRX detector
Safe-D-Covers™, extra thick and easy slide Safe-D-Covers™ in a
variety of sizes and closure options. An assortment of PDC
Healthcare's equipment protection products will also be on display
including specimen transportation devices, biohazard bags and
more.
