Swedish sensors prevent infections spreading in hospitals – success in Dubai
In Dubai in the last week of January, the sensor company PSIDAC AB from Iggesund enjoyed great success at the world’s second biggest healthcare trade fair. With the support of the Fiber Optic Valley innovation environment and the EU project in the Central Baltic, among others, they were able to demonstrate their unique CPS 6000 system, which prevents airborne infection in hospitals and laboratories.
“The response we received was something I’ve never experienced in my 30 years of visiting different fairs,” says Björn Österlund, managing director and owner of PSIDAC. “As the only supplier of this type of instrument at the fair, we were able to meet the minister for health and a number of interesting players for our product. We also made new contacts that can help us enter markets in Argentina, Pakistan and the entire Middle East, so I would say that this investment was a success.”
Monitors and controls air pressure
PSIDAC AB monitors and controls air pressure conditions in hospitals and laboratories. Airborne infection is prevented through either positive or negative air pressure. The system is simple to use, with displays that are green when everything is working and red when there is an error. This means that the staff always have control of the air pressure. The system is based on intelligent pressure sensors, which have low installation costs compared to existing systems. The system has had great success in the Netherlands, where they value the security that the CPS 6000 system provides for staff and patients.
PSIDAC’s customers include Glaxco University, Astra Zeneca, ZGT Almelo, Clinical LAB, Hengelo, MST Enschede, St. Jansdal Harderw, Dirksland, ERASMUS University Medical Center in Rotterdam, St Laurentius, Institute, Glaxco University, Kuwait University, Pharmacia, etc.
