Ecolab Inc. has entered into a strategic alliance with Proventix Systems Inc. to use the nGage radio frequency identification (RFID) system to automate hand hygiene compliance monitoring for healthcare customers.

Through imbedding advanced RFID technology into tags worn with existing healthcare identification badges, the Proventix nGage system encourages hand hygiene compliance without workflow disruption. nGage monitors 100% of hand hygiene events to provide reliable hand hygiene compliance data. The system integrates with Ecolab’s existing line of products and dispensers.

“Our customers have been asking for an integrated solution that provides a full range of hand hygiene products with a reliable way to monitor compliance in real time,” said Paul Chaffin, senior vice president and general manager of Ecolab Healthcare North America. “We’re excited that we can now meet their needs.”

Ecolab’s products and service teams, combined with the Proventix monitoring system, address a number of barriers to improving hand hygiene compliance, including: products that are effective, but gentle to the skin; monitoring that does not interfere or add to a healthcare worker’s daily routine; and reporting that provides compliance data at the individual, department and facility level.
