Rising to the challenge The coronavirus and the disease it causes, COVID-19, have the world on edge. The number of people who have fallen ill and who have tested positive for the virus continues to rise. To slow the spread of the pandemic, measures – some of which are very drastic – are being taken around the world. At the same time, laboratory and diagnostic capacities are being created and expanded to allow tests to be analyzed faster and to perform research using antibodies and immunity data to help develop vaccines. But the protection of the people who are fighting for the lives of...

Ventilation systems FAULHABER Drive Solution Proven products I The need for ventilation systems around the world has increased rapidly in a just a very short time, with many countries currently stocking up and expanding their capacities. To ensure the supply with oxygen, so-called CPAP (continuous positive air pressure) machines are being used in non-invasive cases to support breathing. In intensive care, where the critically ill are generally sedated, ventilation is performed invasively by means of intubation. For manufacturers of ventilators, the controllability of the speed, the...

Personal protective equipment (PAPR) Respiratory protection is an especially important part of personal protective equipment. After all, the virus spreads through respiratory droplet transmission. Closed PAPR systems (powered air-purifying respirators) provide ideal protection for medical personnel. Wearable ventilation systems provide filtered, contaminate-free air via a fan. This allows medical professionals and clinical personnel to be personally protected from exposure to the virus, while still being able to care for COVID-19-infected patients. A PAPR requires drives that are...

FAULHABER drives also provide movement for transporting samples between individual analysis stations. Laboratory automation FAULHABER Drive Solution Proven products I An expansion of testing capacities is considered an important part in the fight against COVID-19. The more tests that are performed, the more that is learned about the virus. For people experiencing potential symptoms of Covid-19, it‘s critical that these individuals have access to quick, accurate testing resources to confirm the suspected diagnosis, and also to identify an effective prognosis. Currently, the preferred test for...

Infrared thermometry FAULHABER Drive Solution Proven products I Shown in simplified form, a lens in an infrared thermometer focuses the thermal energy of an object, e.g., a building, a person or an animal, onto a detector. The associated thermal radiation is converted into electrical signals and ultimately into an image or a numerical value. Thus the operator of the device can quickly identify the temperature in a room, or in the case of Covid-19, the detector can indicate an elevated temperature or fever of an infected individual. This technology is therefore used worldwide at control...
