VAP is a leading global cause of mortality in nosocomial ICU infections. Noncompliance to and inconsistent implementation of secretion management and oral hygiene protocols, currently done manually, are a major factor in VAP incidence.

Our Solution

Vapcare

Automated Oral Hygiene Management System

VapCare is a first-in-the-world, automated, intelligent secretion management system and oral hygiene system for ventilated ICU patients. By automating a currently manual process, VapCare ensures consistency of and compliance to airway suctioning protocols, thus improving ICU efficiency and reducing infection risk for both patients and caregivers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is VapCare by InnAccel Technologies?

VapCare is an automated oral hygiene and secretion management system developed by InnAccel Technologies for mechanically ventilated adult ICU patients. It is designed to automate important elements of airway secretion clearance and oral hygiene that are often performed manually. The system supports consistent implementation of care protocols while helping clinical teams reduce repetitive bedside activity and improve ICU workflow.

VapCare is intended for adult patients receiving mechanical ventilation in an intensive care setting. According to InnAccel Technologies, the system is particularly relevant for patients expected to remain ventilated for more than 24 hours. One VapCare unit is used for one ventilated patient at a time and works alongside the ICU ventilator without interfering with the ventilation process.

The VapCare system automates secretion clearance from the oropharyngeal and subglottic regions and also provides automated oral lavage. It allows clinicians to define suction and lavage pressure and frequency according to the patient’s condition. By combining these functions in one intelligent platform, VapCare helps standardize oral hygiene and secretion management practices in the ICU.

VapCare uses sensor-based suctioning to determine an efficient suction duration and help minimize unnecessary tissue exposure. The system can also detect and clear tube or port occlusions. User-defined settings allow the clinical team to customize pressure, frequency and hygiene protocols, while the automated workflow helps improve consistency compared with fully manual suction and oral-care routines.

VapCare is designed to support infection-prevention protocols associated with oral hygiene and secretion management in ventilated patients. Consistent airway suctioning and oral care are important parts of ICU practice, and automation may help reduce missed or inconsistently performed steps. However, VapCare should be used as part of a hospital’s complete ventilator-associated pneumonia prevention bundle and does not replace clinical judgement or other infection-control measures.

By automating repetitive secretion clearance and oral hygiene tasks, VapCare can help reduce patient-caregiver interactions, bedside time and the need for repeated manual handling. The system is also designed to reduce biomedical waste and can be applied after intubation. These features may help ICU teams use clinical time more efficiently while maintaining protocol-driven care for ventilated patients.

Hospitals, distributors and healthcare organisations can contact InnAccel Technologies to request a VapCare product demonstration, commercial information or implementation support. VapCare is manufactured by InnAccel Technologies Pvt. Ltd., a medical device company based in Bangalore, India. Enquiries can be submitted through the InnAccel website or by contacting the company’s sales and product-support team.

VapCare is a first-in-the-world automated, secretion clearance and oral hygiene system for patients being treated on ICU ventilator machines. By automating what is currently a manual process, the device ensures compliance to and consistent application of infection prevention protocols and improved ICU efficiency.

VapCare introduces a new standard of care to the ICU, addressing a major hospital-acquired infection.

Key Features of ICU Ventilator Machine:

  • Automatic secretion clearance from oropharyngeal and subglottic regions
  • Automated oral lavage
  • User-defined pressure and frequency of suction and lavage
  • Sensor-based suction duration, minimizing injury risk
  • Automatic detection and removal of port blocks

VapCare is a device to be used on adults in conjunction with ICU ventilator machines, i.e., one VapCare can be used one ICU ventilator patient at a time. The device is most relevant for long-term ventilation patients (>24 hours).

VapCare is a reliable, new standard of care for use with top-rated ICU ventilator machine. Please contact us to schedule a product demonstration. The system is manufactured by InnAccel Technologies, a medical device company in Bangalore, India.
