Philips has announced the expansion of its partnership with Medtronic, focusing on advancing patient monitoring technologies to improve care quality.
This multi-year agreement builds on a collaboration that started in 1992.
Philips’ patient monitoring systems already incorporate Medtronic’s brands such as Nellcor pulse oximetry, BIS brain monitoring, and Microstream capnography.
Under the deal, Philips will also pack required supplies such as NIBP, batteries, and electrocardiogram (ECG) with Philips Medtronic-enabled monitors.
This integrated approach is intended to simplify procurement processes and offer a validated solution that reduces the complexity of managing several contracts.
Initially targeting the North American market, the collaboration plans to extend its reach worldwide.
