$PSID markets the Caregiver® non-contact thermometer, has entered into a new distribution agreement with National Distribution & Contracting, Inc. (“NDC”). Through this new warehouse vendor agreement, NDC will purchase units of Caregiver and distribute it to its member distributors serving the acute care, alternate site, long-term care and home health segments.
Caregiver, FDA cleared for clinical use, is a professional grade, infrared thermometer for measurement of forehead temperature in adults, children, and infants, without contact. It delivers an oral-equivalent temperature directly from the forehead in one to two seconds. Since there is no skin contact and Caregiver does not require probe cover supplies, it reduces the risk of cross-contamination, which is an increasing concern, and saves healthcare facilities the cost of covers (as much as $0.05 to $0.10 per temperature), storage space, and waste disposal costs. It is estimated that Caregiver can offer savings of $250 or more per year per device in probe cover supplies alone.
