Newest horizontal intervention: iPad stand + toilet roll holder
From hand hygiene to reducing presenteeism there are many horizontal interventions that are effective in preventing infections in hospital settings. However, there are risks in your own home that are calling out for community-based horizontal interventions. For example, have you ever read a magazine, newspaper or iPad while sitting on the toilet? Me neither. Now, you no longer have to worry about transmitting fecal-oral pathogens via literary fomites thanks to a newly available product: the CTA Digital Pedestal Stand for iPad 2/3/4 with Roll Holder. This 4-star rated product is currently available for $40 and scrolling through the customer reviews you can see why. Below, I've pasted some comments from reviewer ohjodi for your enjoyment.
Brilliant! Replaces my clumsy tv tray, which didn't match my bathroom decor. I can now Skype (hands-free!) instead of trying to juggle a cell phone. Eliminates the need for a stack of magazines (unsanitary!)... I do wish it had a cup holder, and maybe a basket or tray of sorts to hold a bag of popcorn, chicken nuggets, french fries, bowl of soup, etc. I watch a lot of streaming tv and movies, and I had to knock off one star because after 30 minutes or so my legs start to fall asleep and I have to stand and shake my legs for a few minutes to get the circulation going... My toddler son LOVES THIS for potty-training with Angry Birds!
Eli,
ReplyDeleteThis is such a hilarious piece!!
Even with this device, wouldn't you still have to touch the iPad somehow to change channels, increase the volume, etc? It seems a bit unsteady. If it falls, where would it land??? I don't give it my seal of approval...just like with the sink on top of a urinal!!!

Eli,
ReplyDeleteHave you written about the AJIC article - iPads, droids, and bugs: Infection prevention for mobile handheld devices at the point of care?
I am curious to get your opinion on whether this is a real problem that should be addressed in acute care.
Thank you,
John
