• The ability to accept high-flow oxygen;
• Recommended circuit set-ups contain a
bacterial/viral filter to minimize exposure for
healthcare providers when used invasively or
noninvasively with example accessories that
may be used, such as a full-face, non-vented
(without integrated leak) mask, or helmet;
• On-screen respiratory monitoring to measure
and display vital ventilation type parameters
such as pressure, tidal volume, respiratory rate,
leak, and oxygen saturation, enabling clinicians
to evaluate therapy effectiveness;
• Visual and audible alarms to provide
pertinent therapy information to healthcare
providers.
”The global situation with the spread of
COVID-19 is evolving rapidly. Philips
recognizes that in such unprecedented times,
acting quickly can make all the difference,”
said Özlem Fidancı, Chief Executive Officer at
Philips Middle East & Turkey. ”We want to play
an integral role in keeping our communities
as safe as possible and support people on
the front-line. We are happy to announce the
successful launch of the Philips Respironics
E30 ventilator as a readily available alternative
during the COVID-19 crisis here in the Middle
East. We are proud that we could leverage our
expertise in ventilation to support healthcare
workers in the region, while still complying with
medical device quality standards. We hope this
solution will help free-up ICU ventilators for use
in treating the most severe patients.”
