Dwell-time visibility + patient empowerment
Scan the label.
Know the dwell time.
Discover Timertag, a new QR label for medical consumables. Scan it with any smartphone to see the dwell time of a peripheral IV, urinary catheter or dressing, or the countdown status of an IV set. A GS1 DataMatrix is generated that allows hospital scanners to easily document each consumable in the EHR with its own unique serial number. Easy.
No app. No accounts. No patient data.
FOUR LABELS
Pick the device you look after.
Each label is made for one device type. They all work the same way: affix, activate, check.
How it works
Affix
The label goes on the device at manufacture or at the bedside. Tubing labels fold around the line and stick to themselves.
Activate
Use any smartphone to scan the label, start the timer and generate the DataMatrix. Nothing to install, nothing to sign in to.
Check
Every later scan shows the dwell time or countdown, the DataMatrix and patient guidance.

EHR-READY
Built to scan into your EHR.
After activation, the phone shows a GS1 DataMatrix that identifies the device and the label's unique ID. Once your EHR team adds a scannable field to the device record (in Epic, for example, the LDA avatar), nurses scan it with the unit's barcode scanner like anything else. Every later scan of that label matches the same device, through to removal.
Timertag never sees the record. Data only flows one way, from the phone screen to your scanner, so there's no PHI and no BAA.
