Philips increasing production of ventilators and ultrasound solutions
Philips has ramped up the production of hospital ventilators and plans to double production to achieve a fourfold increase by the third quarter of 2020. The company is mobilizing its global supplier network to step up support and production in this extraordinary situation.
Handheld and portable ultrasound solutions in particular have become valuable tools for clinicians treating COVID-19 patients due to their imaging capabilities, portability and ease of disinfection.
Philips ultrasound solutions have been approved in various markets for the management of COVID-19-related lung and cardiac complications, including in Canada.
