Protective Control®

Genoveffa Devers DNP, MSHA, RN, CPHQ
Protective Control places a second user interface outside an isolated or infectious environment, which provides respiratory therapists, clinicians and healthcare providers the ability to respond quickly to changing patient conditions,” said Genoveffa Devers DNP, MSHA, RN, CPHQ, vice president of clinical and strategic alliances at Nihon Kohden. “This advanced configuration may allow a clinician to have more time to carefully don protective equipment rather than rushing in and potentially risking exposure."

COVID-19, SARS and Ebola are types of situations that we envisioned while developing Protective Control® in the NKV-550 ventilator,” said Hong-Lin Du, MD, PhD, CEO of Nihon Kohden OrangeMed, Inc. “Healthcare professionals are on the frontlines of caring for patients with these diseases, and we need to do everything possible to protect them by developing products that can help limit their exposure. Protective Control® is designed to do just that.”
