QIKcap Disinfection Device™ *
U.S. Patent 10,610,609
Our Novel QIKcap Disinfection Device is designed to disinfect the surface of a patient’s intravenous connector and intravenous access points preventing microbial ingress.
The QIKcap Disinfection Device™ (QDD™) is a proprietary and patented device that combines Ultraviolet-C technology with a Chromatic, Protective luer cap system. Our device and disposable combo deliver superior surface irradiation built on a digital health platform.
The QIKcap™ is an advanced disinfection device designed to provide rapid disinfection of any vascular access connector site, for more than 300 Million IV catheters placed each year in the US. The software-driven device is handheld, ergonomic, and built on a scalable digital health platform. The QIKcap™ chromatic luer cap is a single-use disposable IV connector cap. This cap combines a chromatic indicator and lens allowing UVC light to disinfect the surface of the IV connector providing active disinfection.
Currently, alcohol impregnated port protectors are quickly becoming the standard of care for all vascular access lines: Peripheral, PICC, and Central Line. However (IPA) isopropyl alcohol within a luer cap has only been shown to achieve a maximum 4-Log CFU protection, with efficacy at a minimum of 60 seconds. Since active/optimal disinfection requires a 1-minute dwell time Alcohol-based port protectors are not clinically feasible in every healthcare segment, like the OR, where rapid infusions are demanded and workflows are rigorous. Manufacturing inconsistencies, improper clinical use, and lack of compliance have led to less than optimal clinical results across the vascular access space.
The QIKcap™ harnesses a proprietary and unique photon technology that is designed to deliver rapid, and effective disinfection with a verifiable Chromatic indicator ensuring irradiation, thereby denaturing harmful microbes and contaminates. The QIKcap Disinfection Device™ (QDD™) is the ONLY device that delivers:
