Getinge USA Sales, LLC, launches Maquet Moduevo Ceiling Supply Unit product line in United States

WAYNE, N.J., Feb. 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Getinge, a leading global provider of innovative medical technology, today announced the U.S. launch of its Maquet Moduevo ceiling supply unit product line. These ceiling supply units have a number of new technical innovations that address the risk management needs of hospital operating rooms (OR), intensive care units (ICU) and emergency departments (ED). Moduevo ceiling units are designed to help hospitals enhance efficiency by allowing staff to create customizable workstations to meet their changing needs. This helps staff simplify daily tasks and streamlines clinical workflows, thereby increasing productivity in operating rooms, intensive care units and other healthcare environments and, in turn, lowering operating costs.

"Today's healthcare organizations must operate as efficiently as possible in an ever-changing environment while balancing budgets without compromising the quality of care. Given the need to meet these imperatives, raising productivity is crucial – and demands imaginative solutions," said Chris Odom, President, Surgical Workflows at Getinge. "Moduevo represents a significant evolution in our ceiling supply unit offering. We designed this product line to have a best-in-class range of features and capabilities, and to ensure that vital utilities and equipment are easily accessible so hospital staff can configure their ideal working environment and focus on the patient, rather than on the equipment and utilities. In addition, having a system that can be easily and quickly adapted to new procedures or room configurations minimizes financial risk for the facility. The U.S. launch of Moduevo is a testament to our ongoing commitment to provide our customers with a one-stop solution for the medical technology, support and services they need to provide patients with the best care possible to achieve optimal outcomes."

Features and Benefits of Moduevo Product Line
The Moduevo ceiling supply unit product line includes Moduevo mechanical arms and distributors, ENERGY motorized arms, CARGOLIFT anesthesia lifting and the PLG II anesthesia distributor. Simple to install, easy to configure and intuitive to use, these units are made up of a number of modules that can be configured to specifically meet a hospital's requirements. With these flexible, versatile and easy to maneuver modules, hospital staff can create adjustable, safe, ergonomic, customized workstations that can accommodate essential items they require, including monitor arms, illuminated drawers for greater visibility in dark ORs and ICUs, and swivel shelves that can be folded away when not in use. The workstations can be rotated 330 degrees and angled, moved and easily adjusted to accommodate diverse surgical disciplines, room configurations, patient types and staff heights and preferences. They also can be easily reconfigured and upgraded to accommodate new equipment and room changes.

The Moduevo product line has new and innovative features that allow for Extraordinarily Simple staff interactions:

• An Ergonomic Positioning System (EPoS) for quick and easy accessory or component attachment and positioning using a common 5mm Allen wrench
• Electromagnetic brakes for near-silent operation and low installation and maintenance costs
• "Grab and Move" powered brake handles with intuitive human touch sensing technology to automatically release the electromagnetic brakes when the handles are gripped
• A seamless distributor design that minimizes contamination penetration and is easy to clean
• Industry-leading load and reach capabilities

These ceiling supply units improve access to patients while ensuring that essential equipment, power, anesthesia and other vital utilities are readily accessible at all times. The units reduce the risk of injury by eliminating clutter and trip hazards. Medical gas tubes and electrical cables are routed through the unit rather than along the floor, an effective approach to cable management. MODUEVO ceiling units are also easy to clean and disinfect, reducing the risk of nosocomial infections and accelerating turnaround.
