SCONE™ Device

Reducing the Risk of Infectious Aerosol Exposure to Healthcare Workers using Self-Contained Negative Pressure Environments (SCONE™).

Low Cost Get all the clinical benefits of negative pressure without the high cost of retrofitting entire rooms.

Disposable No need to re-sterilize after use; simply dispose the device according to hazardous waste policies.

Quick and Easy Minimize the risk of aerosol spread to HCWs during triage and transport of PUIs in and around the hospital.

Single Patient Use Avoid reusing potentially contaminated devices and maximize environmental sterility.

SCONE™ Device Walkthrough

Zero-to-Five

A simple solution that will change the standard of care for hospital infectious disease containment. Get to know the device from zero-to-five.

ONE Oxygen Adapter Port

There is one oxygen port adapter on the right side of the device that connects to standard size 3/16" - 1/4" ID oxygen tubing readily available in every facility. A patient may also receive supplemental oxygen through a nasal cannula.

TWO Suction Adapter Ports

There are two suction port adapters on the left side that connect to a standard 1/4" - 3/8" ID hospital suction tubing or a portable suction pump capable of achieving 50-70 liters of airflow/min.

If your facility is only set up for 1 suction port, simply increase the clearance time to 10 minutes.

“There is an urgent need for small capacity self-contained negative pressure environments that utilize existing hospital suction lines and HEPA filtration. The SCONE™ is a highly efficient, low cost solution that can be quickly deployed for use and quickly disposed of after treatment."

Dr. Michael Wallace Mayo Clinic

THREE Pivot Points of View

This "cabana" like shape provides 3 viewing angles for HCWs during procedures and treatment while also allowing the SCONE™ to expand upward and collapse flat for a slimmer packaging design.

FOUR Arm Access Holes

Fully-sealed when not in use, the 4 arm access holes are easy to open and seal shut and allow for up to 3 HCWs to be assisting a patient at one time.

< FIVE Minute Clearance Rate

Standard negative pressure rooms require an air exchange rate per hour (ACH) of 12. Our data shows that the SCONE™ achieves 50+ ACH under normal operating conditions, providing a more effective and efficient alternative to the high expense of retrofitting existing rooms in every hospital facility.

SCONE™ is the new standard for aerosol containment in hospitals.

Start a conversation with us about how SCONE™ can add another level of protection for healthcare workers and bring back a sense of "normal" to your hospital.

SCONE™ Key Features
