LIMERICK, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 15, 2013--
Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE: TFX), a leading global provider of
medical devices for critical care and surgery, is committed to helping
clinicians improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs.
Teleflex will showcase its broad portfolio of Hudson RCI®
Respiratory Therapy Products — including the new Neptune®
Heated Humidifier with ConchaSmart™ Technology* — at the AARC
Congress 2013, November 16-18, in Anaheim, CA.
“At Teleflex, we are dedicated to solving unmet clinical needs and
delivering positive outcomes for clinicians, patients and buyers,” said
Cary Vance, President, Teleflex Anesthesia and Respiratory Division.
“Teleflex history is defined by practical innovation and the development
of products designed to promote Breathing, Made Easier®. We
look forward to sharing the value of choosing Teleflex as a preferred
partner with the entire respiratory therapy community.”
Teleflex, a recipient of the 2013 Zenith Award from the American
Association of Respiratory Care, has a strong history of delivering
practical innovation pioneered by physicians and clinicians. Several of
these will be highlighted at the Teleflex booth at the AARC Congress
2013:
-
Neptune® Heated Humidifier with
ConchaSmart™ Technology
Teleflex will introduce the new
Neptune Heater with ConchaSmart Technology, with features designed to
help clinicians customize patient humidification to an even greater
degree. This flexible operation will help clinicians provide optimal
humidification for individual patient needs. The innovative
ConchaSmart™ Column* allows respiratory therapists to
choose from a wide range of humidification therapies using one
universal device helping to promote clinician workflow efficiencies.
-
Comfort Flo® Humidification System
The Comfort Flo
Humidification system* allows for the safe and effective
delivery of heated, humidified oxygen therapy to a broad range of
patients. With adjustable temperature control, the Comfort Flo system
helps to promote patient comfort and compliance while adhering to the
AARC Clinical Practice Guidelines for Humidification during Invasive
and Non-Invasive Ventilation.1
-
Hudson RCI® ISO-Gard®
Mask with ClearAir™ Technology
The first of its kind, this
technology was developed by Teleflex in partnership with clinicians
who identified an issue and wanted to take action. As the only
solution available for “source control” of waste anesthetic gas in the
recovery room, the specialized ClearAir™ Technology of the ISO-Gard®
Mask simultaneously delivers oxygen to patients and scavenges their
exhalation to help limit exposure faced by clinicians.
-
Gibeck® Humid-Flo®
72-Hour Integrated Kit
Everything needed for 72 hours of
continuous humidification and ventilation in a single integrated kit.
Teleflex will also be hosting a Purpose-Driven Trivia Challenge at
Teleflex booth 801, with proceeds benefiting the American Respiratory
Care Foundation, a charity of the AARC.
The trivia challenge tests attendees’ knowledge of respiratory therapy
in practice, including clinical protocols and safety standards. Teleflex
will donate a virtual brick — on behalf of successful participants, up
to $25,000 personalized bricks in total. The challenge will complement
other booth activities, allowing attendees to engage with Teleflex
executives and learn how the company’s products can enhance the quality
and safety of their respiratory therapy practice.
