SGS,
the world’s leading inspection, verification, testing and certification
company, has published an overview of the requirements for critical care
ventilators.
The
medical response to the COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated the importance of
critical care ventilators in helping people survive life threatening diseases. All
ventilators primarily deliver oxygen to the patient, but the way this is
achieved can have a profound impact on the outcome for the patient. Critical
care ventilators differ greatly from other forms of ventilator. They must meet
exacting standards to ensure they deliver oxygen and remove carbon dioxide in a
safe way.
SGS’s
Consumer Compact article contains a timesaving overview of critical care
ventilator functionalities and the standards that must be met for accessing EU
and international markets. Aimed at those within the industry and the general
public, this article provides a useful start for companies looking to access
this complex marketplace.
The
ongoing pandemic has demonstrated the importance of critical care ventilators
for patients. Buyers and manufacturers must ensure the products are properly
tested and certified to ensure they meet relevant safety and performance
standards. In the end, it’s only trusted because it’s tested.
