Covid-19 – Testing time for people and devices
Due to the Coronavirus, hospitals and medical staff developed new work practices involving, in acute settings, social distancing, rigid use of personal protective equipment (PPE), handwashing, and disinfection of equipment every day.
Portable, highly mobile and versatile equipment came to the fore in point-of-care (POC) particularly when wards and operating theatres are spread across several floors and access to specialist devices is at a premium.
