Everyone knows the increased pressure that is put on nurses and nursing time. Within ostomy care the nurse is the most vital part of the care team and we believe that our Ostom-I Alert Sensor can assist nurses in many different ways. A recent study conducted in the UK showed that on average it took eight minutes for a nurse to empty an ostomy pouch and then input the data on to a fluid balance chart. Our connected device automates that process in real time freeing up nursing time so that you can focus on other aspects of care.
We understand that the patients first point of contact is often the nurse. You spend time with pre op eduction and often have to manage post operative issues. The ability to either receive email updates direct to your phone or computer or simply log in for access allows you to see trends happening before they become a bigger issue that might need hospital intervention. For example seeing that a patients output is either increasing or decreasing helps you to make important decisions ahead of time.
From recent patient research we have learnt that patients who empty earlier can often prevent difficult skin situations arising. Pouches that leak or perhaps spill means that effluent sits on the skin surface and can cause damage. Our connected device allows patients to set multiple alarms to alert them when there is any output. This can assist in help patients manage the associated issues that often occur from an ostomy.
We understand that different pouches suit different ostomates and have therefore deliberately designed our device to have an adjustable clip that ensures it can be attached to the vast majority of pouches. So whether your patient has an ileostomy, colostomy or urostomy our device should work for them. We also provide a 24 hour help line for ostomates so that you do not have to be disturbed with any technical issues.
For your ease our device is also prescribable and insurance reimbursable.
