Protect staff. Conserve PPE. Prepare for future pandemics.

In response to the recent pandemic and to prepare for future infectious control, the Clinician Patient Access Device (CPAD) was designed to allow temporary services such as infusion pump tubing, patient monitoring lead wires and cables, ventilator circuit tubing and related extension cords to pass from patient rooms through corridor walls into the corridor. CPADs allow clinical staff to conserve personal protective equipment by moving patient care equipment into the corridors. This permits some normal patient care practices to be conducted in the safety of the corridor and reduces the frequency of staff and patient interaction. Many health care organizations employed this strategy during the COVID-19 pandemic. Each device is fitted with self-sealing silicone rubber gaskets to ensure that the lines, wires, cords or cables are sealed to restrict airflow, contaminants and noise. There are no sharp edges to pierce or slice the integrity of the inserted lines. Users simply push the temporary service through the device, and it quickly and automatically seals. CPADs have a compact design that installs flush with wall surfaces and does not project into the corridor or patient room, making it fully Americans with Disabilities Act compliant.
