Ventilation systems, respiratory protection (PAPR) as part of personal protective equipment, laboratory automation, analysis systems at the point of care or infrared thermometry: manufacturers rely on FAULHABER in vital medical technology applications. The new publication “Drive Systems for Healthcare, Medical & Laboratory Equipment” presents applications and the corresponding optimum drives and accessories. It is available now in electronic form on the FAULHABER website or can be accessed at https://www.faulhaber.com/covid19/en.

The coronavirus and the disease it causes, COVID-19, continue to have the world firmly in its grip. The number of people who have fallen ill and who have tested positive for the virus continues to rise. To slow the spread of the pandemic, measures – some of which are very drastic – are being taken around the world. At the same time, laboratory and analysis capacities are being created and expanded to allow tests to be analysed faster and to perform research on antidotes and vaccines. But the protection of the people who, for example, fight for the lives of patients in hospitals, must also be seamless and function as reliably as the ventilators for ill patients. For these important and in some cases life-sustaining systems, FAULHABER develops and delivers key components with its drive systems.

In the new publication “Focus COVID-19 – FAULHABER Market solutions – Drive Systems for Healthcare, Medical & Laboratory Equipment”, you can learn which drives are especially well suited for medical technology applications from the areas of ventilation systems, personal protection (PAPR), laboratory automation, point-of-care (POC) analysis as well as infrared thermometry, what advantages FAULHABER offers you for your applications and what options are possible. The publication can be downloaded for free in electronic form (PDF) from the FAULHABER website at: https://www.faulhaber.com/covid19/en. You can also find additional information there on the coronavirus and its implications.

In addition to the high standards of EN ISO 9001 and 14001, FAULHABER is also specially certified for medical products acc. to EN ISO 13485.
