Smiths Medical Announces Ventilator Training Alliance App Partnership
Smiths Medical announced today it has joined several of
the world’s other ventilator manufacturers in the Ventilator
Training Alliance (VTA) to support frontline medical
providers access to a centralized repository of ventilator
training. The content can be found in a mobile app
managed by Allego.
“Smiths Medical is proud to be a part of the VTA by
providing training for our ventilators through the Allego
app,” said Jeffrey Hohn, Vice President, Global Product and
Commercial Excellence, Strategy and M&A at Smiths
Medical. “Improving healthcare around the world is the
foundation of our mission. During this critical time, we
understand healthcare professionals need ventilator
information quickly and the app enables the right care
delivered to their patients, quickly.”
The VTA app connects respiratory therapists, nurses and
other medical professionals with ventilator training
resources from alliance member companies. Included in the
app are instructional how-to videos, manuals and
troubleshooting guides critical to treating patients suffering
from COVID-19 related respiratory distress.
Ventilators play a critical role in the management of
patients who require respiratory assistance due to a severe
illness, such as COVID-19. Speed and ease of access to
ventilator training could have a direct impact on patients’
health during the COVID-19 crisis.
Content on the VTA app can be accessed on iOS and
Android devices — even in environments with little to no
Wi-Fi access — or from a web browser. The app provides
healthcare professionals multi-language closed captioning
and mobile background audio when multitasking.
How to Access the Ventilator Training Alliance Hub
The app is provided at no cost to medical professionals. To
download the Ventilator Training Alliance knowledge hub
application, visit the Apple App Store or Google Play store,
or access the hub from any web browser.
