Pre-order Philips’ Respironics E30, A Special COVID-19 Ventilator That Costs 75% Less

The rise in COVID-19 cases in Nigeria and other parts of the globe have made ventilators a much sought-after equipment. However, the average cost of a standard ventilator is often prohibitive and out of the reach of many public health care systems. Nevertheless, renowned Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Philips has designed the Respironics E30, a ventilator which offers efficient utility and which costs 75 per cent less than other variants in the market.

 

Here is everything you need to know about this cost-effective ventilator.

 

First, ventilators just like the Philips Respironics E30 are authorised for use in the treatment of patients who have breathing difficulties. Breathing disorders and respiratory insufficiency are leading symptoms of a critical COVID-19 case. Thus, while testing and social distancing are effective ways to prevent infections; ventilators are important in treating people who have already begun manifesting symptoms after infection.

 

The world as a whole had not foreseen a pandemic of this scale. Thus, there have been shortages of essential equipment such as ventilators in the health sector. Indeed, healthcare workers are overworked, hospitals are overcrowded and ventilators are in short supply. In addition to this, these ventilators are usually expensive.

 

That is, until now.

 

Philips’ response to the current crisis is to come up with not just ventilators but effective ones that are much cheaper than those already in use. The Respironics E30 is a useful alternative, especially when more expensive, fully equipped models are not available.

The Respironics E30 is easy to use and setting it up requires simple procedures. Thus, almost all healthcare workers can install it for patients’ use. Also, it protects healthcare providers from the risk of infection because it comes with bacterial/viral filters. Furthermore, the Respironics E30 supplies high levels of ‘inspired oxygen’ too. And, it comes with on-screen respiratory monitoring features that show pressure, tidal volume, RR, Minute Ventilation, leak, and other useful details. There are alarms for notifications too.

 

Equally important, Philips worked with a group of engineers versed in respiratory care to develop this device. The foregoing ensured the production of a ventilator which ticks all the right boxes. The ventilator is provided under the Emergency Use Authorization issued by the US Food and Drugs Adminstration (FDA) concerning ventilator tubing connectors and ventilator accessories.

 

For Nigeria, the Philips Respironics E30 is truly good news. It means that more people who need ventilators can afford it at a cheaper rate.
