According to 2019 statistics from the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) and the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTIs) acquired in a hospital setting may be in excess of 500k per year in the United States. If nursing homes are considered along with acute care hospitals, it is estimated that there are more than one million cases of CAUTIs annually in the U.S. based on IHI statistics.   The opportunity to eliminate CAUTIs is here. This revolutionary approach has shown great promise and ongoing success for both inpatient and at home use. Clinical trials are currently being conducted and international demonstrations are ongoing. The opportunity to help eliminate CAUTIs will significantly improve care and personal well-being.
