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 for vital medical technology applications. The new publication "Drive systems for health care, medicine and laboratory equipment" presents applications and the optimal drives and accessories for them. It is now available in electronic form on the FAULHABER website or at https://www.faulhaber.com/covid19/de.

The coronavirus and the disease it causes, COVID-19, continue to have a firm grip on the world. The number of people who are sick and who have tested positive for the virus continues to rise. In order to slow down the spread of the pandemic, some very drastic measures are being taken worldwide. At the same time, laboratory and analysis capacities are being set up and expanded in order to be able to evaluate tests more quickly and to research antidotes or vaccines. But the protection of people who are fighting for the lives of patients in hospitals, for example, must be seamless and work just as reliably as the ventilators for sick patients. With its drive systems, FAULHABER develops and supplies key components for these important systems, some of which are life-sustaining.

In the new publication "Focus COVID-19 - FAULHABER Industry Solutions - Drive Systems for Healthcare, Medicine & Laboratory Equipment" you will find out which drives are suitable for medical technology applications in the areas of ventilation systems, personal protection (PAPR), laboratory automation, point of care (POC) analysis and infrared thermography particularly suitable, which advantages FAULHABER offers you for your applications and which options are possible. The publication can be downloaded in electronic form (PDF) free of charge from the FAULHABER website at: https://www.faulhaber.com/covid19/de. There you will also find further information on the corona virus and its effects.

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