Overview

Filters play a key role in protecting the safety of patients on mechanical ventilation and reducing the risk of cross contamination. Filtration can protect your hospital by helping to prevent the inhalation of harmful pathogens. It helps protect hospital equipment, including ventilators, from contamination with bacteria and viruses and helps prevent the spread of infection. Covidien offers a wide range of Puritan Bennett™ and DAR™ filters, filter HMEs and HMEs for adult, pediatric and infant applications.

Medtronic announced that it has decided to keep the Patient Monitoring and Respiratory Intervention businesses as a part of Medtronic, given changing market conditions. These businesses will get increased investment and be combined and called Acute Care & Monitoring (ACM).

Medtronic also made the decision to exit the ventilator product line.

Amid evolving market conditions and a shift to lower acuity ventilators, this decision aligns with Medtronic’s strategy to concentrate resources on our market-leading positions and accelerate innovation-driven growth.

While this decision will take time and planning, we are committed to supporting our existing ventilation customers. We will continue to provide service and support throughout the ventilator life cycle, along with meeting our service contract obligations.
