No words can begin to describe the human
despair and heartbreak that accompanies
the COVID-19 crisis.
Readers of this special COVID-19 edition of
Managing Risk know this better than most.
Not only are you on the frontlines of manag-
ing the significant risks associated with the
novel coronavirus, you have placed yourself
in harm's way as well.
On behalf of all of us within the Surgical
Workflows Division of Getinge, I want to
express our personal gratitude for your
unselfish and life-saving efforts. History
will show that you stood tall in the face of
extraordinary peril.
To support your care and treatment strategies
for an unprecedented volume of critically
ill patients, Getinge has increased the
production capacity of our Servo line of
ventilators by 160%.
At the same time, Getinge Surgical Workflows
wants to inform you in this newsletter about
our company's specific technology platforms
and daily use products that are especially
relevant in the fight to limit the spread and
consequences of the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Our thoughts continue to be with you and

Getinge Assured
SafeStep ATP Monitor
SafeStep ATP Monitor
confirms surface cleanliness
in just 15 seconds
Residual organic soil and microbial
contamination associated with HAIs
often exist on accessible surfaces,
endoscopes and cannulated instruments
even though they pass visual inspection.
While the Getinge SafeStep ATP monitor
cannot detect the presence or absence
of the virus, it can verify that COVID-19
exposed surfaces are properly cleaned
throughout the hospital.
SafeStep provides reliable assurance
that hands, equipment, endoscopes and high-touch
surfaces such as IV poles, counters, bedrails, blood
pressure cuffs, faucets, handrails and computers have
been effectively disinfected. In turn, hygienic protocols
dramatically reduce the likelihood that COVID-19 can
survive the cleaning regimen.
Testing data can be captured and uploaded for reporting
and tracking by department or location.

Getinge believes that saving lives
is the greatest job in the world, and
we are proud to partner with you
and honor your commitment
to your patients during 2020,
the "Year of the Nurse".
