Medtronic – Remote Monitoring Devices
Clinician safety is the top priority during the COVID-19 crisis. Ariel MacTavish, VP/GM of Respiratory Interventions in the MITG division and Frank Chan, VP/GM of Patient Monitoring at Medtronic discuss Medtronic’s first-of-its-kind software solution that enables doctors and nurses to manage and adjust ventilators remotely. This reduces room entries and exposure and conserves PPE. In addition, Medtronic is taking the lead to protect healthcare workers and prepare them for the potential next wave of COVID-19 by partnering with hospitals like Regions Hospital in St. Paul, Minn., where healthcare providers have access to a range of remote monitoring devices such as remote-access solutions for pulse oximeters, used to measure oxygen levels in the blood, and the latest in capnography to monitor carbon dioxide levels in the airways.
