DeTecX™

Hospital Air-Hygiene Monitor

DeTecX™ is an innovative indoor air quality monitoring device for critical hospital environments. From OTs and ICUs to general wards, DeTecX™ monitors invisible airborne risks — providing VOC and environmental-pattern monitoring for air-hygiene awareness using Invent's VolTrac™ VOC sensor platform.

Automatic air hygiene monitoring for critical care

DeTecX™ runs 24/7 to monitor VOC response patterns, particulate levels, temperature and humidity — supporting infection-control awareness across OTs, ICUs, CCUs and wards.

The Problem: Invisible Risks in Hospital Air

Air may look clean but can harbor harmful microbes. Traditional checks rely on periodic cultures with delayed results.

  • Delayed Awareness: By the time cultures confirm contamination, exposure may have occurred.
  • Labor & Inefficiency: Manual swabs are periodic and labor‑intensive; issues can go unobserved between tests.
  • Inadequate Warnings: Limited continuous awareness when air-hygiene indicators shift mid‑day or cleaning is ineffective.

The limitations of periodic manual checks highlight the need for automated air-hygiene awareness. DeTecX™ provides continuous indicator monitoring to support ICU management workflows.

Where DeTecX™ Helps

Designed specifically for high‑sensitivity areas:

  • Operating Theaters (OTs)
  • ICUs, Post‑Op ICUs
  • CCUs and general wards
  • Invasive procedure rooms
  • Isolation rooms and high‑risk bays

Wall‑mounted, discreet form factor similar to a smoke detector for seamless adoption.

DeTecX™: Air Hygiene Monitoring

DeTecX™ is a wall‑mounted smart sensor that periodically samples air-hygiene indicators using Invent’s VolTrac™ VOC sensors.

  • VOC Response Monitoring: Tracks VOC response patterns that can inform air-hygiene awareness.
  • Multi‑Parameter Sensing: Tracks PM1, PM2.5, PM5, PM10, temperature, and humidity for a holistic picture.
  • Periodic & Real‑Time: 24/7 monitoring with immediate insights whenever conditions change.

Powered by VolTrac™

At the heart of DeTecX™ is Invent’s flagship VolTrac™ VOC sensor technology.

  • PPB-Level Sensing: Built for low-concentration VOC response monitoring in selected workflows.
  • Pattern Selectivity: Advanced materials and chemi‑resistive sensing support downstream response-pattern analysis.
  • Room‑Temperature Operation: Safe, efficient operation without high‑heat elements.
  • Low‑Power & Scalable: Compact, affordable, and scalable across many rooms in pilot workflows.
