Reusable EEG electrodes could be a source of bacteria-caused HAI
1 out of 4 reusable EEG cup electrodes are contaminated with bacteria. They are complex and costly to clean. Risk bacteria could led to hospital-acquired infection. Stop cross-contamination and use single-use EEG cup electrodes.
Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) are among the most frequent adverse events occurring in healthcare. Besides causing considerable discomfort for patients, they also cause significant economic burden on healthcare systems.1,2
To identify the total cost of using reusable EEG cup electrodes, both Cost of Use and Cost of Clinical Outcome must be determined.
The cleaning process of reusable EEG cup electrodes is very comprehensive and costly.
To learn more about the interaction between cross-contamination, the use of reusable EEG electrodes, the cost and the complexity of cleaning, please sign up for a noncommital meeting with your Ambu representative.
