Hear Episode 1 of the new MedtronicTalks podcast

April 28, 2021 By Tom Salemi

Listen to episode 1 of MedtronicTalks

A year ago, the emerging pandemic brought Medtronic’s respiratory business front-and-center as demands for ventilators shot up to save the lives of thousands of people hit with COVID-19.

In this interview, the first of the MedtronicTalks Podcast Series, Medtronic’s Ariel Mactavish and Dr. John de Csepel detail how the company answered the call in many ways.

MacTavish, president of the company’s respiratory interventions operating unit, said Medtronic quickly realize it couldn’t work alone.

“We scaled as rapidly as possible internally with our own manufacturing facilities, but we also worked with partners to try to expand different areas of by sharing our ventilation IP, allowing others to manufacture it, giving good advice to others, to try to ramp that up,” she said in this interview.

De Csepel, chief medical officer and VP of medical affairs for Medtronic’s Americas region, recalled his experiences in the New York City hospital where he serves as a general surgeon on weekends.

“What I saw there was a transformation like I hope I never see again for the rest of my life,” he said, recalling that the hospital had to set up several ICUs that he had a hand in running.

De Csepel drew on that experience to help formulate Medtronic’s response to the pandemic, including developing a plan to care for employees.

Hear how Medtronic is taking lessons learned from last year to guide respiratory interventions going forward.
