Objective: To analyze the published works on hospital infections related to non-invasive monitoring devices.(sphygmomanometer, thermometer, oximetry, electrocardiograph) Method: Integrative review, answering the question: how does the literature address the occurrence of IRAS associated with the main non-invasive monitoring devices? It was carried out through online search of scientific articles in the databases LILACS / SCIELO, MEDLINE, Cochrane Library and IBECS, between July and September of 2013, associating the descriptor cross infection with the following: thermometers, sphygmomanometers, oximetry and electrocardography. Results: We found 252 articles, applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria obtained 13, in which all indicate a relationship between cross infection and the non-invasive devices in question. Conclusion: After exhaustive reading and analysis of studies have concluded that these noninvasive monitoring devices to be potential vehicles of cross-infection, necessitating further development of the theme by scientific studies, enabling reflections and decisions that have impact on clinical practice.
