American semiconductor firm, Analog Devices (ADI), has announced it will be prioritising the needs of medical customers during the pandemic.
In a press release last week, ADI said they are taking action to support customers during COVID-19 pandemic by expediting production of its healthcare technologies that can help fight COVID-19.
These include critical measurement and control technologies essential for diagnostics and treatment for COVID-19 patients, such as ventilators, respirators, diagnostic test systems, infusion pumps, patient monitors as well as in imaging systems, such as CT scanners and digital x-ray.
ADI is taking the following actions:
- Analyzing order backlog daily to identify and prioritize customers who are manufacturers of critical medical equipment as the supply environment becomes increasingly difficult for them.
- Dedicating manufacturing lines to increase production of healthcare components to meet the higher demand for these products from healthcare customers.
- Providing manufacturing teams with protective equipment, social distancing guidelines and clean workplace practices to ensure their health and safety.
- Working with local governments worldwide to ensure ADI’s facilities or subcontractors’ facilities remain in operation so they can continue producing this essential healthcare technology.
