Defensible infection screening for SNFs.
VynMed is a point-of-care device for rapid infection test strips (COVID, flu, RSV, strep). It captures a tamper-evident, timestamped photo of every test and runs an anti-fraud pre-scan, so your staff read the result with a real record behind it.
- Detects pre-used and tampered strips
- Signed digital chain of custody
- Works with your existing strips
- No new compliance workflow
Infection screening relies on strips that are easy to cheat.
Nursing homes depend on rapid lateral flow tests for COVID, flu, RSV, and other infections, but the strips can be reused, swapped, or pre-contaminated. Staff are often the only witness, which leaves facilities exposed to HAI liability and regulatory risk.
Pre-used strips
A single strip can be reused across multiple patients, producing a clean result that never actually tested anyone.
Unverified chain of custody
Paper logs and phone photos leave gaps that surface during audits, investigations, and litigation.
No fraud detection layer
Standard readers just return positive or negative. They don't flag tampering, reuse, or environmental interference.
A four-step workflow that takes under a minute.
VynMed fits on a countertop, plugs into a standard outlet, and integrates with the disposable test strips your facility already uses.
Insert
Staff inserts the rapid test strip into the supervised reader.
Authenticate
Anti-fraud pre-scan detects tampering and pre-used strips in real time.
Capture
The device photographs the strip under controlled lighting and timing. Staff read the result per the test's instructions.
Report
A timestamped, cryptographically signed record is stored automatically.
Purpose-built for SNF infection screening.
Flags reused and tampered strips before a result gets logged. Produces audit trails your compliance team can hand to a surveyor. Built around the actual workflow of a nurse on the floor, not a clinical lab appliance.
Three layers of verification.
Anti-fraud pre-scan
Detects reused and tampered strips before a result is ever recorded. A core part of the VynMed design.
Controlled-capture camera
Photographs the strip under controlled lighting and timing, so the record looks the same no matter who ran the test or which shift it was.
Signed chain of custody
Every test produces a timestamped, cryptographically signed record. It is stored automatically and exports cleanly for audits.
