ISTARI Devices
Healthcare Infection Prevention & Control
ISTARI OVERVIEW
The Isolation System for Treatment and Agile Response for High-Risk Infections (ISTARI) is a revolutionary portable negative pressure containment patient care system. The ISTARI family of devices increases safety, improves quality, and reduces cost for infectious diseases by minimizing the need for personal protective equipment by decreasing the need for equipment processing and training burden. The ISTARI system addresses common infrastructure issues; the clear, flexible walls facilitate patient interaction with both providers and visitors, it is manufactured at scale, and has use cases that span from patient transport to extended use in critical care environments.
An ISTARI manual and videos are available with a free account,which demonstate the use of ISTARI devices for common tasks. Click the button below to access.
