In view of the situation with the Coronavirus disease COVID-19, we hereby want to provide the following statement regarding the use of a longer panel cable between the patient unit and the Servo ventilators graphical user interface

Intensive care ventilators, normally found in the hospital Intensive Care Unit. This category of ventilators support lung protective ventilation which are recommended by several international guidelines and the World Health Organization (WHO). An intensive care ventilator must be considered as the primary option during the monitoring and treatment of COVID-19 patients in the ICU.

Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus we have received several questions how to clean and disinfect the Getinge SERVO ventilator expiratory cassettes in a Getinge Washer-Disinfectors (WDs), and what type of accessories to be used.

In view of the situation with the Coronavirus disease COVID-19, we hereby want to provide the following statement regarding the use of our older out-of-service ventilator systems.

Currently many customers are reaching out for guidance on how to reprocess respiratory masks. Getinge has outlined guidelines based on evidence on how to best reprocess.

The possibility to repurpose Flow-i, Flow-c and Flow-e anesthesia machines for use in the ICU as a ventilator only.

In view of the situation with the Coronavirus disease COVID-19, we hereby want to provide guidance on appropriate infection prevention and control (IPC) measures for the use of Servo ventilators when treating patients with confirmed or suspected infection with COVID-19.

In regards to IPC for the use of Sokinox and Servino nitric oxide delivery and monitoring system we provide the following guidance

The flow sensor of the Servino and the Sokinox system are disposable items and should be replaced in-between patients. This is described in the User Manual of the system.
