Personal Sanitizers
Sprixx Hand Hygiene System

- First Personal Electronic Tracking
The CDC, WHO, and IHI all call for providing meaningful performance indicators and regular feedback. Observation monitoring is extremely expensive and can be incomplete. Inventory records lack individual feedback. Sprixx Electronic Tracker provides the first automatic measurement system based on a personal dispenser offering the ability to compare usage data to position metrics.
- First Personal Dispenser Audio Training
Wait until you see how the Sprixx Trainer can open up working indications – it’s uncanny!
- Second-Nature Tool Required
Only a second-nature, personal dispenser can provide the level of access to hand hygiene agents needed to sanitize hands during peak workloads when infection transmission rates are highest. Only such a tool can provide consistent access, on-the-go anywhere, anytime. Only a second-nature tool can offer significant time savings - says Angelo Salvucci, MD prominent ER physician, “I save 30-minutes per 9-hour shift with Sprixx.”
- Across Business Models
The Sprixx Hand Hygiene System is not limited to a commodity business model but is focused on doing what it takes to develop a solution to this critical problem by going across business lines and incorporating new technologies.
- Multimodal Required
The studies prove that single interventions just aren’t enough and can not be expected to achieve or sustain significant improvements. The multimodal approach is at the center of the CDC and WHO guidelines. No other program offers such a powerful collection of multimodal technologies, practices, and tools than SHHS including Six Sigma, the Outcome Driven Innovation Method, and advanced eLearning.
- Multimodal Customization Required
Not only is a multimodal program required, but it takes custom components to reach the full multidiscipline spectrum. Commodity sanitizers do not offer customization services for multimodal programs featuring the hospital leaders or account for key cultural difference.
- Return On Investment
Commodity hand hygiene supplies cost only $1 per patient day yet the average central-line catheter infection represents a $26,893 loss to the hospital. Do you know anyone who wouldn’t opt to pay a few more dollars to reduce the chances of being one of the 2 million American’s who contract hospital infection each year or the 90,000 who die? Spending more on commodity programs does nothing but hang a few more wallmounts and posters? SHHS sends resources directly into patient care and the hospital’s ROI.
- What Sustained Improvements?
On the whole, wallmounts, counter bottles, sinks, and pocket bottles haven’t moved the average hand hygiene compliance above 50%. The CDC, WHO, and IHI are each calling for innovation as this problem has not been solved. The top experts are calling for the types of changes found in the Sprixx plan. The Sprixx Research Agenda provides the specific sources from the literature.
- Personal Paradigm Shift Required
Until we end the denial and accept that personal responsibility must be at core of the initiative, significant improvements cannot be sustained. Wallmounts at the door send the message to HCWs that indications for hand hygiene are coming and going from a patient room only and is an institutional obligation. A comprehensive hand hygiene system built around a personal tool makes it clear it is everyone’s responsibility. The personal dispensers provide a visible symbol of the initiative which lends cultural support to overcome status quo inertia.
- Advances the Study
The personal tacking data can provide views into hand hygiene behavior never before available. The medical discipline of hand hygiene is still extremely immature. The SHHS Research Agenda challenges the boundaries and pushes an ambitious pace appropriate to the immediacy of the problem.
