Increased Production of Operating Room Equipment to Battle COVID-19, Reports TBRC
LONDON, April 30, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the demand for operating room equipment. In particular, the respiratory devices, masks, and patient monitoring devices markets have seen surge in demand due to the novel coronavirus. Respiratory devices including ventilators, anesthesia gas masks, and other devices are required to support the treatment of patients diagnosed with COVID-19. Due to continued spread of the virus, hospitals are facing a shortage of these devices. For instance, in Europe, which is one of the most affected regions, hospitals have overflowed with patients encountering respiratory failures. With the number of cases across the globe increasing daily, the demand for respiratory devices to treat COVID-19 patients is on the rise. Healthcare and non-healthcare equipment manufacturers have ramped up production of ventilators and other respiratory devices. For instance, GE Healthcare, one of the leading players in the medical technology and equipment market, is continually adding production lines, increasing their labor force, and multiplying output to aid hospitals and healthcare professionals with the needed equipment to treat patients diagnosed with COVID-19. Ford, a leading automobile manufacturer, has also expanded its support to GE and 3M to increase the production of the equipment required during this outbreak.

Increased Production Of Masks and Patient Monitoring Devices
The transmission of COVID-19 through direct or indirect contact has resulted in widespread usage of gloves, masks and hand sanitizers.

The USA reached an agreement with 3M to produce 55 million masks every month. As per the terms of the deal, in the next couple of months, 3M will deliver 166.5 million respirator masks to the USA.
The rise in the spread of COVID-19 has left officials with a daunting task of tracing case contacts and containing the pathogen. Most countries have gone into lockdowns. Healthcare providers and governments are looking for faster and newer solutions to monitor the spread. Researchers and a lot of healthcare startups have come up with technologies to combat the virus. There has been a rise in the demand for portable and low-acuity monitors to examine patients infected with COVID-19.

Patients diagnosed with Covid-19 have a chance of severe lower respiratory tract infection, which means patients are required ventilator support. For instance, around 12% of COVID-19 patients in China have been put on a ventilator. In 2019, 77,000 new ventilators were enough to meet the global market demand whereas, in April 2020, New York City alone required 30,000 additional ventilators to combat COVID-19.
