A review co-authored by critical care, quality, and patient safety experts highlights a powerful case from a VA hospital: by adding a stethoscope diaphragm barrier to their infection prevention bundle, they achieved zero CLABSIs for over a year.

We’ve spent years perfecting bundles: CHG bathing, sterile dressings, line caps, but maybe the missing piece has been right in front of us all along!

AseptiScope Featured in The Silicon Review July Issue: “AseptiScope’s First Patient Safety Innovation Helps Hospitals Save Lives”!

We’re proud to share that The Silicon Review has spotlighted our mission to solve one of healthcare’s most overlooked patient safety risks, stethoscope contamination, in an interview with Scott Mader, AseptiScope Founder and CEO.

🔵 The stethoscope touches patients more than 5 billion times a year
🔵 It carries pathogens equivalent to unwashed hands
🔵 And until now, hospitals had no practical solution

The DiskCover® System is changing that. As highlighted in the article, healthcare providers are reporting real-world positive outcomes. With a touch-free, aseptic barrier that’s fast, visible, and effective, stethoscope hygiene is finally catching up to hand hygiene.

"We are thrilled to be able to help in the mission to save lives, save time, and reduce the cost of care.” – Scott Mader, CEO of AseptiScope

💡 “Would you ever touch a patient with dirty hands?” Your stethoscope is no different.

Clinicians wash their hands between patients, but what about the stethoscope, our “third hand”? It carries contaminants and pathogens from one patient to the next, and cleaning with alcohol often isn’t enough.

It’s time for a change in practice!

🚨New Data! Stethoscope Hygiene Bundle Drops CLABSI to Zero

The stethoscope diaphragm can be as heavily contaminated as unwashed hands, and in critical care settings, often comes into contact with patient skin near central lines.

Yet they rarely receive the same hygiene attention as hands or IV ports.

Despite CHG bathing and IV line caps, CLABSI persists. But in a VA ICU, a novel implementation of The DiskCover System's touch-free aseptic stethoscope barriers led to something unprecedented:
✅ CLABSI rate reduced to 0%
✅ Sustained for over 12 months

Most patients never see the stethoscope that comes in direct contact with them get cleaned. An easily recognizable blue barrier sends a powerful message that they're being protected.

AseptiScope's CEO, Scott Mader, details the importance of making visible improvement to healthcare and patient safety.

What happens when stethoscope hygiene data is too strong to ignore?

The overwhelming data on the stethoscope as a dangerous vector undermining healthcare infection control protocols continues to grow.

The CDC guideline committee sat down with our Chief Medical Officer for a deep dive into pathogen transmission, compliance gaps, and evidence-based strategies.

✈️ Imagine if a commercial plane crashed every day... with no survivors.

That’s how many lives are lost each year due to healthcare-associated infections (HAIs).

💥 Over 100,000 preventable deaths. Every. Single. Year.

This isn’t just a metaphor, it’s the reality. And it’s time the healthcare system treated it like the crisis it is.

Soon, it won’t be enough to say you clean your stethoscope.

Regulators will ask:
➡️ “Where’s your policy?”
➡️ “How are you tracking it?”
➡️ “Can you show me your compliance data?”

DiskCover System helps hospitals get ahead of this shift—automating aseptic technique for hygiene with the ability for monitored data.

🩺 You wouldn’t skip hand hygiene; don't ignore the tool that is just as contaminated!

The stethoscope is finally being recognized for what it is: a major vector for pathogen transmission.

This clip is part of a free CE course presented by Kupchik Consulting that dives into new infection control guidance and the decades of data driving it.
