Emergency supply of key components for Ventilator for Huoshenshan Hospital

A batch of ventilators specially provided for “Wuhan Huoshenshan Hospital” is in emergency production. Saint-Gobain High Performance Plastics NORGLIDE® self-lubricating bearing is one of the key components of the ventilator. We acted as fast as possible, but one of the processes need to be completed by the outsourced processor, who can’t start production before February 9 as requested by the government. The production department and procurement department quickly coordinated and finally solved the problem. Our application engineer also responded quickly and designed an alternative solution for customer. All departments worked together and cooperated quickly to win time for the ventilator's production as soon as possible, and finally achieved early delivery under the premise of ensuring product quality!

Emergency supply of key components for IVD instruments

Since the outbreak of new coronavirus epidemic, the need for rapid and accurate diagnosis of suspected cases has become particularly urgent. For large infected people, in addition to detection kits, the demand for vitro diagnostic and analytical instruments is also imminent.

During the detection process of high-tech diagnostic instruments, in order to ensure the accuracy of the test results, the precise transmission of test reagent liquid is necessary. As a supplier of high-performance key components, Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics provide accurate fluid transfer tubing for various vitro diagnostic equipments. In addition to molecular diagnostic equipment, our products are also applied in biochemical analyzers and hemocytometers etc.

In order to make more and more suspected cases to be diagnosed as soon as possible, major domestic testing equipment and reagent manufacturers have resumed production ahead of schedule and stepped up supply. However, due to the delayed resumption of work by upstream raw material suppliers, continuous supply of raw materials encountered difficulties. Saint-Gobain High Performance Plastics immediately responded to the request from the customer for emergency supplies support. The departments actively cooperated to resume production in advance and work hard to support the customer's production needs. Finally, we made it and delivered on time by air transportation.

Compared with the medical staffs who are fighting on the front line, what we can do is very little, but we are willing to do our best to work together with all our fellows to tide over the difficulty. May all angels in white be safe and the patients recover soon!
