Real‑Time Hospital Air Quality Monitor
DeTecX™ is an innovative indoor air quality monitoring device for critical hospital environments. From OTs and ICUs to general wards, DeTecX™ monitors invisible airborne risks — providing instant awareness of bacterial and viral risk indicators using Invent's proprietary VolTrac™ VOC sensors.

The Problem: Invisible Risks in Hospital Air
- Delayed Awareness: By the time cultures confirm contamination, exposure may have occurred.
- Labor & Inefficiency: Manual swabs are periodic and labor‑intensive; issues can go undetected between tests.
- Inadequate Warnings: No continuous alerting if bacterial risk levels spike mid‑day or cleaning is ineffective.
The limitations of periodic manual checks highlight the need for an automated, real‑time solution. DeTecX™ provides constant vigilance to help prevent outbreaks and reduce the burden on ICU management.
Where DeTecX™ Helps
- Operating Theaters (OTs)
- ICUs, Post‑Op ICUs
- CCUs and general wards
- Invasive procedure rooms
- Isolation rooms and high‑risk bays
DeTecX™: Air Hygiene Monitoring
DeTecX™ is a wall‑mounted smart sensor that periodically sniffs the air for signs of trouble using Invent’s VolTrac™ VOC sensors.
- VOC “Fingerprint” Detection: Identifies unique VOC signatures emitted by microbes to provide early alerts.
- Multi‑Parameter Sensing: Tracks PM1, PM2.5, PM5, PM10, temperature, and humidity for a holistic picture.
- Periodic & Real‑Time: 24/7 monitoring with immediate insights whenever conditions change.
