Automatic air hygiene monitoring for critical care

DeTecX™ runs 24/7 to detect microbial VOC signatures, particulate levels, temperature and humidity — enabling proactive infection control 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 undetected between tests.
  • Inadequate Warnings: No continuous alerting if bacterial risk levels spike mid‑day or cleaning is ineffective.

The limitations of periodic manual checks highlight the need for an automated, real‑time solution. DeTecX™ provides constant vigilance to help prevent outbreaks and reduce the burden on ICU management.

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 sniffs the air for signs of trouble using Invent’s VolTrac™ VOC sensors.

  • VOC “Fingerprint” Detection: Identifies unique VOC signatures emitted by microbes to provide early alerts.
  • 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.

  • Ultra‑High Sensitivity: ppb‑level detection for early warning of microbial presence.
  • Superior Selectivity: Advanced materials and chemi‑resistive detection to minimize false alarms.
  • Room‑Temperature Operation: Safe, efficient operation without high‑heat elements.
  • Low‑Power & Scalable: Compact, affordable, and deployable across many rooms.
