COVIDIEN-NEW VENTILATOR

Great post

 

Guess how many 980s were sold in FL this week? A trip to Disneyworld to the winner!

 

0 !

 

Thank you so much for the correct answer, but we have recalled the prize.

MDT marketing dept.

 

Deplorable the company is trying to push 840s in the NiCU since 980 is DOA. Worst part is there are still software bugs in the 840 that can kill a patient. Bravo.

Methinks Omar wished he could have excluded RMS from the deal.

 

Thread's now finally dead!

 

Don't think so. Reps pissed. Nothing to sell. Commercial freeze still in place. Waiting to hear if FDA drops consent decree which could be the final nail in the 980 in US.

 

Single use exp ass'y for installed base is however bringin in some recurring revenue. Best practice value based healthcare provided by Medtronic

 

We pay 500 bucks per patient.
Any VIP customer gettin the shit for free?

 

They offered Kaiser to sterilize the reusable exhalation valves if they buy the 980. They offered to pick them up and deliver them after sterilization. They will do anything for Kaiser.

 

what's wrong and why can't the parts just be disinfected by the hospital?????

 

For some peculiar reason, on March 29th Medtronic applied for 510k clearance from the FDA for the 840 for "Expanded Neomode".....the 840???

What on earth?? What a efffing disaster!

Damage control to not be locked-out of market. Enables hidden sale of 980 through 840 with fork-lift option.
Pathetic is the word.

 

I though 840 was served with end of life notice...in Canada anyways?

 

"Fork Lift Option"? Educate me...........essentially a "bait and switch"? Have them buy they 840 and then have a 980 upgrade DONE to them?
