SERA Solutions was founded by a member of the neurodiagnostic community who recognized the urgent need for a single-use wax marker to safeguard both patients and technicians. Upon encountering a concerning situation where a trauma patient with a known blood-borne disease left a wax pencil drenched in blood, we were shocked to find that the protocol dictated wiping the pencil, peeling off the paper, and reusing it on other patients. Expressing our concerns to management only resulted in being instructed to persist with the same practice, as there seemed to be no alternative available.
Discover SERA Solutions, founded by a neurodiagnostic expert driven by a commitment to patient safety. Learn how our single-use wax marker revolutionizes protocol, safeguarding patients and technicians. Bid farewell to risky multiuse practices with our innovative, biodegradable solution, designed for safe application and environmental responsibility. Committed to proactive infection prevention, we promptly alerted the Infection Prevention (IP) Department, catalyzing a swift ban on multiuse wax pencils across all locations.
As a temporary measure, standard wax pencils were being broken into smaller pieces to serve as a single-use alternative. However, these makeshift solutions posed concerns as the supplies from various companies lacked labeling indicating safe use on skin or hair. Moreover, the labor-intensive process of creating these broken pencils proved to be both financially burdensome and an inefficient use of skilled technicians’ time, resulting in unnecessary waste of product. Thus, we embarked on a mission to develop a ready-to-use, single-use wax marker—a marker designed for safe application on patients’ skin and hair, resistant to sweat and water, and housed in a biodegradable canister. In doing so, we aimed to provide a reliable solution that ensures both patient safety and operational efficiency in neurodiagnostic settings.
