End Patient Suffering From Pressure Injuries
Eliminate preventable pressure injuries with the only FDA-cleared SEM Scanner for pressure injury detection and management.1 Our Provizio® SEM Scanner gives nurses objective SEM data in minutes, helping teams to intervene earlier, document more confidently, and avoid preventable harm.
HAPI Reduction
Identify pressure injuries 5 days (median) before damage is visible. Systematic review showed 93% pressure injury reduction across 17 different studies.2,3

Large Hospital System
Keep Skin Intact
In minutes, nurses can get SEM Delta™ (∆) data on tissue health at the sacrum and heels, identifying, documenting, and taking action on PI damage before visible signs appear.
For clinical leadership, this means objective data replacing subjective guesses, and documentation that stands up to audits, appeals, and lawsuits.
ICD-10-PCS procedure code XX2KXP9 (effective April 1, 2024) documents the SEM scanning encounter, supporting POA designation and audit-ready records. Contact us for the full reimbursement guide.

It's as simple as green or orange on the Provizio SEM Scanner screen. Green is routine. Orange means Treat the Delta >/=0.6.
Precise SEM Biomarker Detection
Developed by and for nurses, the Provizio SEM Scanner uses biocapacitance to measure cell damage and early-stage pressure injury damage.
Where Provizio SEM Scanner Fits In
On Admission
Initiate SEM scans within 24-72 hours to document Present on Admission (POA) PI/DTPIs with objective, defensible metrics.
During Stay
Quantify and monitor early-stage tissue damage for effective interventions and HAPI reductions.
Discharge
Transfer a complete, accurate patient record with documented evidence to reduce readmissions and liability.
Prevention Begins with Early Detection. Early Detection Starts with SEM Scanning.

The Truth Is in the SEM Delta™ (∆)
Detect pressure injuries 5 days (median) earlier with an evidence-based, clinically validated biomarker that gives you a condition to treat.
What does it do?
The SEM Delta™ (∆) measures variations in sub-epidermal moisture (persistent focal edema) at a local site to quantify pressure injury damage before it’s visible on the skin.
How does it work?
As pressure damage escalates, SEM (persistent focal edema) rises at the exact site of developing damage. 90+ peer-reviewed studies have shown when the SEM Delta™ (∆) rises above ≥ 0.6, this indicates at least a stage 1 pressure injury.5
Objective, defensible data
Based in biology, the ≥ 0.6 SEM Delta™ (∆) gives clinicians objective, actionable insights and alerts to intervene effectively.5

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Provizio SEM Scanner?
The Provizio SEM Scanner is the first and only FDA-cleared device for identifying early-stage pressure injury damage using sub-epidermal moisture (SEM),1,2 an objective, clinically valid biomarker. Paired with the PIPPA data platform, the Provizio SEM Scanner is a connected, wireless, handheld device that enhances prevention and the current standard of care.
How does the Provizio SEM Scanner work?
Our Provizio SEM Scanner measures SEM levels using biocapacitance technology. Elevated readings indicate persistent focal edema and tissue damage equivalent to a stage 1 pressure injury according to the ICD-10 code L89.91.
How do I access the Provizio SEM Scanner User Guide?
Please fill out the Contact form at this link and we’ll send it to you.
What is a SEM Delta™?
The SEM Delta™ (∆) measures variation in sub-epidermal moisture at a local site. A value ≥ 0.6 indicates pressure injury damage is present and requires clinical intervention.5
Is the Provizio SEM Scanner limited to the sacrum and heels?
Current FDA authorization focuses on these areas as they represent the highest prevalence of pressure injuries.1 As an evidence-based company, we continue to expand evidence into other areas. If you’d like to help accelerate research and FDA clearance for additional applications, please contact us.
What is biocapacitance?
Biocapacitance is an electrical property of tissue that changes with interstitial moisture levels. Higher moisture content results in higher biocapacitance readings, which makes SEM measurement possible.
