Talk To An Expert

 

Room pressure monitors allow users to monitor the room pressure without being physically present in the room. Healthcare facilities often use this technology, as these monitors help maintain optimal conditions to ensure the safety and quality of sensitive equipment and medications. 

These are often essential to protecting patients from Hospital Acquired Infections, and are under increasing focus of regulators like the Joint Commission and U.S. Food and Drug Administration.  

Pressure monitors measure room pressure in atm, or standard atmosphere, defined as 101325 Pa.  

Users can check this pressure on-site or through remote monitoring technology on their smart devices. That way, if any potentially out-of-spec changes in room pressure occur, they can quickly make adjustments remotely, or return to the facility if necessary. 

Some buildings, such as medical facilities that house sensitive items, require tools that provide in-depth monitoring and reporting.  

For facilities that store less pressure-sensitive equipment, a basic monitoring tool may suffice. There is no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to pressure monitoring, so you should consider your specific business needs when making a decision. 

Sonicu’s room pressure monitoring technology is designed to improve facility safety and streamline regulatory compliance.  

Used by hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, advanced manufacturing facilities, laundry departments and data centers, Sonicu documents differentials in room air pressure, as well as humidity and ambient temperature.  

We deploy digital sensors and probes that connect wirelessly to the cloud that transmits the information to customers in their custom web- or app-based interface available 24/7 from virtually anywhere.  

This ensures that optimal conditions are maintained around the clock.  

Manual monitoring and logging can be incredibly time-consuming, and it can be easy to overlook critical changes in pressure.  

Sonicu helps take the challenge out of monitoring these conditions by hand, automating the process and keeping users up to date 24/7.

 

Hospital Room Pressure Monitor

Hospital room pressure monitor technology allows hospitals to monitor conditions in rooms that house sensitive materials or are host to sensitive operational needs, like protecting patients during an operation or pharmaceuticals during the compounding process.  

There are many pressure monitors to consider that are tremendously helpful for those looking to monitor hospital isolation room pressure 

All of these can be used to improve your monitoring capabilities and make sure that your desired room pressure is maintained, even when you’re working remotely. The Sonicu mobile app makes it easy to view and receive alerts from anywhere with virtually any connected device.

With all the different brands on the market today, choosing the most appropriate pressure monitor for your facility can be challenging.  

However, by making a checklist or outlining your most pressing needs, you can compare brands more easily, seeing what each brings to the table and how they can help with your monitoring needs.  

Hospitals should take particular care to thoroughly research the technology that’s available today, as they are often responsible for storing extremely sensitive equipment and medications that respond to even the slightest changes in pressure.  

Taking the time to find the monitor that’s right for your facility is key to ensuring safety and efficiency.  

Sonicu offers five main differentiators that differentiate us from our competitors, including: 

  • Unlimited users on the SoniCloud 
  • All hardware remains under warranty during software subscription 
  • Unlimited data storage for the life of your contract 
  • Live U.S.-based phone support 
  • Unlimited free training via Sonicu Academy 

Surface Mount Pressure Sensor

A surface-mount pressure sensor is placed on a hard surface to monitor room pressure. 

One of the great things about using a surface mount room pressure sensor is that once it’s installed, you don’t have to do much else with it. 

You can keep it in the same place and it will carry out required functions regardless of whether you’re in the room constantly moving it around or not. 

 This proves convenient for those that frequently work remotely or who are otherwise unable to rearrange items in their facilities often. However, most Sonicu customers install their room pressure monitoring in a fixed position and keep it there indefinitely.  

Surface mount pressure sensor installation service professionals or in-house facility managers install these sensors and can be a great help to facilities that lack the experience to get up and running on their own.  

As mentioned previously, once surface sensors are installed, you’re pretty much good to go—there’s no need to be moving them to different areas of the facility. 

 This makes it easy for users to locate sensors when they need them.  

That being said, when mounting a sensor, it’s essential to choose a location that’s ideal for pressure monitoring and where your equipment isn’t likely to become lost or broken.  

Some Sonicu customers, especially construction companies working in a healthcare environment or lead abatement companies working in strictly controlled environments, like the mobility of a small room pressure monitor. 

 But most customers reduce risk by maintaining the sensor in a fixed location.  

 

Portable Room Pressure Monitor

A portable room pressure monitor, unlike mounted or fixed monitors, can be easily moved around as needed.  

Many Sonicu customers who work in healthcare construction leverage this sort of mobile solution as part of their compliance requirements as it allows them to track their control of sensitive environments simply and affordably.  

Monitors like these are also ideal for facilities that frequently rotate rooms for storage.  

For example, there may be some items that you need to monitor on the first floor one week, and some equipment that needs monitoring on the top floor the next.  

Room pressure monitor mobile technology grants users the flexibility to adjust items as necessary to monitor the right equipment and measure room pressure in multiple locations. 

If you’re looking for a room pressure monitor, you should consider your specific needs. There are many questions to consider when shopping for a room pressure or air pressure differential monitoring solution.  

 What kind of equipment or sensitive environment are you responsible for monitoring?  

How often do you anticipate needing to move that equipment from one room to another?  

How important is maintaining regulatory compliance?  

Would you prefer to have immediate access via a mobile app?  

Will you perform a self-install with your staff, or do you plan to turn to your vendor for professional installation?  

How important is calibration? And does it need to be NIST calibrated?  

Asking yourself these questions can be an effective way to determine which type of room pressure technology is right for your organization.  

In some cases, it may require some trial and error to find the perfect match, but it’s important to carefully weigh all of your options in order to find the technology that’s best suited to protect your assets.  

This can save you a lot of potential heartache down the road.

Ping Pong Ball Pressure Indicator

Ping Pong Ball Pressure Indicator

One of the more antiquated ways to gauge room pressure is with a ping pong ball pressure indicator.  

This typically involves placing a ping pong ball in a plastic tube to monitor pressure differentials.  

The ball’s position can help you determine whether air is flowing in or out of the room.  

Facilities strive to maintain different forms of pressure depending on what they’re trying to keep in—or out.  

Ping pong ball room pressure indicator devices are a popular, easy method for determining the air pressure in a room and deciding if further action is warranted. 

You can learn more about these devices with a ping pong ball pressure indicator manual. 

 A manual can give you a better understanding of the different ways you can use ping pong balls to measure room pressure 

The downside to ping pong indicators is that they don’t provide much information beyond whether the room pressure is positive or negative. 

 Facilities that store sensitive equipment or are focused on maximizing patient safety requires more extensive reporting.  

Sonicu offers complete reporting and compliance, allowing users to analyze data in depth and create custom reports. These reports are tailored by Sonicu based on the feedback of scores of healthcare clients to make their compliance reporting a snap.  

Moreover, Sonicu deploys NIST calibrated sensors. This makes for more accurate measurements and enables you to make quick changes as needed.

 

Room Pressure Monitor: Ball In The Wall

Room pressure monitor ball in the-wall devices place ping pong balls in plastic tubes and attach them to walls to determine whether the pressure in the room is positive or negative.  

Using a ball in the wall, you can easily track conditions in your facility. A ball-in-the-wall pressure indicator may be particularly useful for facilities that lack more advanced tools, but it is no substitute for monitoring on a more holistic level.  

Sooner or later, you will likely need to invest in actual pressure monitoring sensors that can intelligently monitor and report on room conditions.  

When you add the convenience of a cloud-based system, you realize the savings of not having to deploy staff to track conditions, but you also receive real-time and historical conditions that can improve patient safety and make compliance reporting far less tedious.  

If you are using a ping pong sensor while looking for something more advanced, you should be sure to read ball in the wall installation instructions.  

This can help you get the most out of your device while you’re using it. 

 Some facilities may require slightly different setups, and so it’s important to consider your room structure and whether or not a ping pong indicator would actually provide you with accurate information.  

It can’t hurt to try, but if your device fails to offer critical data on room pressure, it may be time to look for a different type of monitor.

Room Pressure Monitor Manual

Viewing a room pressure monitor manual prior to installing any type of monitor can be highly beneficial.  

It’s much easier to install monitors the right way the first time than to install them incorrectly and go through the whole process—or, even worse, have to call up a professional—again.  

A room pressure monitor installation manual will likely be included with whatever monitor you purchase, and so you should take advantage of these instructions to ensure that everything gets up and running appropriately.  

You should also be sure to use a pressure sensor datasheet to keep track of changes in room pressure and identify trends over time.  

Most digital, cloud-based pressure monitor systems include some type of reporting features.  

It can be difficult to spot issues if you’re only looking at data in a silo, which is why it’s important to centralize and consolidate data to the greatest extent possible.  

Solutions like Sonicu make it easy for users to access the information they need without having to jump through a bunch of hoops to obtain critical data.  

You can also keep up to speed with compliance and ensure that your facility is meeting required safety standards. Using manuals and spreadsheets you can get the most out of your monitoring technology and increase the efficiency of your workflows.
