Hill-Rom Nabs Emergency Use Authorization for Ventilation Device

The FDA has granted Hill-Rom an Emergency Use Authorization to adapt its MetaNeb intrapulmonary-percussive ventilation device for use with COVID-19 patients.

The system is indicated for lung expansion therapy, mobilization of lung and respiratory secretions, treating collapsed lung and providing supplemental oxygen.

The MetaNeb system can help reduce a patient’s time on a ventilator and length of stay in an intensive care unit.
