With the recent and ongoing announcements from the Government and the World Health Organisation, Chalice want to reassure all of our customers that we are taking every measure to ensure disruption to the supply of products as a result of the Covid-19 Pandemic is minimised.
There has been a surge in demand for ECMO devices and we have implemented many changes to help us cope with the demand. These include:
- Increased production hours – Including extending daily shift hours and a new shift at Weekends.
- Altered responsibilities to make best use of staff for production purposes.
- Reducing the risk of contamination of office personnel by introducing working from home where possible.
- Compulsory use of specialist protective equipment in all production areas.
- Staff encouraged to exhibit social distancing – especially during break times.
- Education of all staff of the symptoms of Covid-19 and expectations with regards self-isolation.
We have reiterated the importance of the continuity of supply to all production operatives and to remain vigilant both inside and outside of work. Our staff are highly committed and we are encouraging them to ensure they can make forward arrangements to allow them to continue to work and produce our vital products.
Chalice will do all that it can to support the global ECMO marketplace and especially the NHS and the British public. If you have any questions or queries please don’t hesitate to contact your sales representative or our in house sales team on enquiries@chalicemedical.com
