Tampa, FL, USA, January 30, 2024: Federal governments globally continue to restock their respective national stockpiles for emergency health care needs that were decimated during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic overwhelmed the medical systems of many European Union members and led the bloc of nations to announce plans to stockpile essential medicines and medical equipment.
In the U.S., the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and the Defense Contract Management Agency is implementing a mass modification and overhaul of the national stockpiles. ICU grade ventilators continue to dominate the urgent needs managed by the Division of Strategic National Stockpile (DSNS). The SAGICO V2O ICU Ventilator, which received US FDA authorization in 2020, has been selected as eligible for purchasing and supply acquisition contracts. The DSNS is part of the federal medical response infrastructure and can supplement medical countermeasures needed by states and the federal government in times of crisis.
The almost $7 billion Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) inventories antibiotics, medical supplies, antidotes, antitoxins, antiviral, vaccines and other pharmaceuticals. These critically acquired medical resources requires vigilant monitoring and management to keep stock supplied, rotated, and stored within U.S. Food and Drug Administration potency shelf-life requirements.
The DSNS said it has now processed multiple contracts to date, and many more in the mix for orders related to COVID-19 activities, including everything ranging from patient transportation to life saving medical supplies. Awarded contracts were dispersed amongst nearly 20 companies and their suppliers, totaling nearly $2.9 billion to include supplying approximately 200,000 ventilators for the SNS. The SNS has been used to respond to a range of crises since its inception, including the 9/11 terrorist attacks; earthquakes; hurricanes; the Ebola virus and, most recently, COVID-19.
The SAGICO V20 SYSTEM Ventilator is an electronically controlled, electronically powered machine, which is used in ICU, in Respiratory Department or Emergency Department for the rescue and therapy of the patient with respiratory insufficiency, and in other departments for providing respiratory support for the patient.

We understand that patient care should be at the forefront of clinical and medical professionals, not procurement of supplies. Often times and at different stages in the supply chain flow many departments tend to be focused on their own independent goals.

This is a key strategy for optimizing healthcare supply chain management. In the era of value-based care, healthcare organizations are focused on reducing redundancies and eliminating waste, but providers also need to work together to effectively reduce costs and boost performance.
