Fire Equipment Manufacturers’ Association Releases Whitepaper on Pressure-Reducing Valves

[ad_1]

Understanding how pressure-reducing valves work and how they are regulated is key to keeping buildings safe. It will also help fire protection engineers and building owners select and adjust their PRVs, which is why the information contained in this newly released whitepaper is so valuable.

Fire Equipment Manufacturers’ Association just released a new whitepaper entitled ‘The Ins & Outs of Pressure-Reducing Valves’. The non-profit trade association encourages building managers and fire protection engineers to download and read the whitepaper to learn more about PRV standards and operation instructions.

Most high-rise projects are required by regulations to have automatic sprinkler systems as well as standpipe systems for use by fire departments. In such buildings, installing pressure-reducing valves on each floor can ensure that the pump pressure on the lower floors does not exceed standards established by the National Fire Protection Association while still allowing the minimum acceptable pressure to the top floors. The whitepaper released by Fire Equipment Manufacturer’s Association spells out the requirements and standards for PRVs.

“Understanding how pressure-reducing valves work and how they are regulated is key to keeping buildings safe. It will also help fire protection engineers and building owners select and adjust their PRVs, which is why the information contained in this newly released whitepaper is so valuable,” said Jeff Saunders, president of Fire Equipment Manufacturers’ Association. The whitepaper is based on a previously-written article the association updated with current information and is being published with permission from the original author.

Building managers, fire protection engineers and other interested parties are invited to read, study and download the whitepaper at https://femalifesafety.org/prv-whitepaper.html. Additional information about Fire Equipment Manufacturers’ Association can be found at https://femalifesafety.org/.

Comfort Your V Naturally with Heating and Cooling ‘Private Packs’

[ad_1]

We give you choices - Hot or Cold Vulva Pads

Heating or Cooling Pick Your Pack

Private Packs intends to start the conversation about vulvovaginal self-care by first honoring vulvas in a natural, therapeutic way.

Private Packs, an emerging women’s wellness company announces the launch of a set of natural, non-invasive heating and cooling pads used to soothe and comfort vulvas from myriad medical and beauty issues, or anytime a woman wants extra care of her vulva.

Women all over the world at one point have experienced vaginal discomfort, with as many as 14 million women in the United States experiencing chronic vulva pain as a result of vulvodynia. Rather than using bulky electric heating pads or shoving frozen vegetables down there, Private Packs is completely reimagining the outdated do-it-yourself solutions that women have been using for decades to get vulva relief. The brand’s food-grade therapy pads are wearable, discreet and reusable for life on-the-go.

“I created Private Packs for myself after a traumatic Brazilian wax. I then became a customer of my own product after stage three breast cancer treatment affected my vagina, which my doctors had not prepared me for,” said Suzanne Sinatra, founder, and chief executive officer of Private Packs. “Since it’s helped me so much I won’t stop until I get this product in the hands of women across the country. Women make up half of the global market and it’s high time we have an attractive alternative to vaginal discomfort.”

According to a March 2019 report from Frost & Sullivan, the Femtech industry is predicted to have a market potential of $50 billion by 2025 and will grow significantly as a result of continued innovation in the space.

“Private Packs addresses many vaginal issues women face, but having a reusable cooling pad that can be used immediately after childbirth for swelling and discomfort is a gamechanger for the approximately 90 percent of women who experience vaginal tearing,” said Dr. Kameelah Phillips, M.D. “Private Packs has integrated feedback from users and physicians to create a unique self-care experience for women unlike anything currently available on the market.”

Private Packs heating pads provide thermal therapy to relieve muscle pain/spasms, soreness, inflammation for relaxing relief. The cooling pads offer cryotherapy treatment that can reduce swelling, bruising, irritation and are refreshing. The products provide treatment options for women experiencing discomfort as a result of menstrual cramps, chronic infections, exercise soreness, post-surgery, pubic area hair removal, sexual activity or vaginal childbirth.

“Patients benefit from heat and ice to relieve their symptoms, so Private Packs is a great option for a variety of issues, but in particular, it fills the need for a non-medical alternative to pelvic floor pain and discomfort,” said Dr. Rachel Gelman, PT, DPT, Doctor of Physical Therapy and Pelvic Floor Specialist in San Francisco.

Private Packs launched today an Indiegogo campaign to raise money for additional inventory to meet the growing demand for its product. To learn more about the crowdfunding campaign, visit http://bit.ly/indiegogopp.

About Private Packs

Private Packs is a New York City-based women’s wellness company and the maker of heating and cooling gel pads optimized for both form and function to soothe and comfort the intimate body parts. The natural, safe and non-invasive gel pads comfort women that suffer from symptoms such as swelling, itching, inflammation, soreness and more related to Bacterial vaginosis (BV) sexually transmitted infections (STI), yeast infections, vaginal dryness, vaginal childbirth, post-sex, dyspareunia, pubic area hair removal, or anytime a woman wants extra care for her vagina.

Greydon Introduces High Resolution Digital Printer for Medical Devices, Blister Packaging, and IV Bags

[ad_1]

https://www.prweb.com/

Greydon’s Genesis-M High Resolution Digital Printer

Greydon, a product brand of ProMach introduces the Genesis-M, the latest in the Genesis line of digital printers for medical device and blister packaging, and will be exhibited first the first time at Pack Expo 2019, September 23-25, in the Las Vegas Convention Center.

Genesis printers are designed to print directly onto the package, eliminating or drastically reducing the need to manage pre-printed materials. Its fully digital workflow does not require printing plates, allowing for faster changeover and increased OEE.

Genesis comes in both traversing and stationary inline configurations to ensure optimum printing on every horizontal packaging or blister machine. Available in single color, two color and full color (CMYK+W), the Genesis can also be paired with a secondary form of printing (Flexo, TTO, TIJ, CIJ, etc.) for a hybrid system that prints on both sides of the film.

Both the Genesis-M and the original Genesis use XactCure™ to cure UV activated inks on both porous and non-porous substrates. XactCure is a process integrated into the printer to control and record every aspect of the curing process. Taking all the variables into account for proper curing, XactCure prevents ink migration and cracking, even on difficult to print IV bags.

Genesis interfaces with serialization and manufacturing software to ensure complete UDI and DSCSA compliance – compatible with both GS1 and HIBCC standards.

Also included are the benefits to medical companies for paperless record keeping with document security and authenticity, extensive reporting, and includes 21 CFR Part 11 tags.

Greydon also provides label template design software which can be installed on a separate PC for template creation and management. As this software is also installed on the Genesis HMI, it can be used directly on the machine for local label creation and editing. The HMI comes with multiple user permission-based controls to prevent unauthorized changes to the label, the configuration, or even the operation of the printer.

Greydon’s customized electronics allow for full feature functionality and development, keeping Greydon on the leading edge of innovation.

Check out the Genesis-M and many other of Greydon’s latest digital labeling solutions at Pack Expo in Las Vegas, Booth C-3225. Or, for more information on this solution or other offerings, visit http://www.Greydon.com.

Digital Health Enterprises Announces Strategic Partnerships with Leading Health Care Technology Companies

[ad_1]

Connected Care. Healthier Outcomes.

Digital Health Enterprises, LLC, a digital health care technology provider, announced today that it has partnered with leading health care technology companies Tellus, Visante and Pharmacy Stars to better connect payers, providers and patients with solutions that effectively extend care beyond the hospital or clinic. Digital Health Enterprises’ patent-pending digital health suite provides reliable, secure, and ongoing management of digital applications and connected devices, resulting in actionable intelligence that increases patient engagement, informs care management, improves patient outcomes and delivers a better overall health care experience.

Strong Support, Promising Market

With costs continually rising, the health care industry is in the midst of a paradigm shift impacting how patient care is delivered and managed. Health care organizations are increasingly seeking alternative ways to communicate with and monitor patients in more cost-effective ways, particularly outside of the hospital or clinic. With the emergence of a broad array of connected devices, they’re turning to Mobile Medical Applications (MMAs) to reduce costs, collect health information from patients, manage and monitor general health, ensure medication adherence and inform care plans.

This shift is fueling rapid growth in the digital health care market with apps and devices that allow better management of general health and wellbeing of patients as well as chronic illnesses. Using apps and devices, clinicians and patients can monitor activity levels, caloric intake, dietary concerns, weight and blood pressure among other key health information. These apps can also be used for more complex concerns like blood glucose levels, infertility, cardiac rhythm, menopausal systems and sleep apnea with CPAP machines.

“We see app and mobile technology being adopted at unprecedented rates. It’s not a matter of how big the market can be — it’s a question of the growth rate it achieves,” said Brad Levine, CEO at Tellus.

Digital Health Enterprise’s ConnectedHealthRx suite allows health care organizations to manage MMAs and devices just like a pharmacy: The suite includes the following modules:


  • Credentialer that powers the review and approval of health-related apps and devices based on safety, security, efficacy and cost.
  • Tech Store that serves as the central access point for approved apps and devices.
  • Formulary that allows the management of digital apps and devices using trusted principles of pharmaceutical management.
  • Prescribe that is available right in the Electronic Health Record for prescribing health-related apps and devices to patients.
  • Insight that collects and delivers health data from the apps and devices to the EMR for the clinician to manage care.

“Visante sees the value and the future in connected health. When clinicians and patients have better access to health data, they make more informed decisions that keep individuals healthier. It just makes sense that health care organizations would manage health care apps and devices just like they manage prescription medication formularies,” said James Jorgensen, CEO at Visante.

Digital Health Enterprises is positioned to be an industry leader in supporting the effective use of these rapidly expanding data resources. Its patent-pending digital formulary management system, ConnectedHealthRx, already in use in large health institutions, allows payers and providers to manage MMAs and connected devices using the well-trusted principles of drug formulary management.

“We are all about helping the health care industry improve the quality of care through digital solutions and analytics. Our ConnectedHealthRx solution allows payers, providers and patients to work together to achieve lower costs, increased engagement and healthier outcomes for all,” said Paul D. Snow, President of Digital Health Enterprises.

“This is an area with great potential, and we have proven practices and methodologies already in place for medication management. We can apply those same trusted principals to applications and devices,” said Keith Streckenbach, CEO at Pharmacy Stars.

Marketing Focus, Healthcare Expertise as Key Differentiators

Digital Health Enterprises’ intense focus on improving the quality of care while reducing the cost for payers, providers and patients distinguishes the company from others.

“We imagined a health care system having actionable data that informs MMAs and connected device selections based on utilization, efficacy, safety and cost.” Snow said “Our team envisions ConnectedHealthRx will become the industry-leading management platform for connected health for payers, providers and patients at a time when the health care industry needs it most.”

About Digital Health Enterprises:

Digital Health Enterprises is a health care technology company that provides comprehensive solutions that help health care providers and health plans manage risk and cost, while increasing patient engagement and encouraging self-management for healthier outcomes. This is accomplished through a proven, patent-pending method of vetting, prescribing and managing digital health apps and devices for reliable, secure ongoing management of health care.

Digital Health Enterprises takes a health and wellness approach that enables people to use digital health care technology in a way that fits their lifestyles, so they live their best, most healthy lives. That means turning clinical care into connected health. With the Digital Health Enterprises suite of solutions, clinicians and patients have easy access to apps and devices that monitor health anywhere, anytime.

[ad_1]

News Image

National non-profit group, Prevent Blindness, names VSP Global and its President and CEO Michael Guyette, as the 2020 Persons of Vision Award recipients.

As we enter the year 2020, it seems only fitting that we honor the work of all the employees at VSP Global, including Michael Guyette, for their work which has had such a tremendous, positive impact on improving vision and keeping eyes healthy every day- J. Todd, Pres. & CEO, Prevent Blindness.

Prevent Blindness, the nation’s oldest eye health and safety non-profit organization, announced today that the 2020 Persons of Vision Award will go to VSP Global and its President and CEO Michael Guyette. The event will take place on March 26, 2020, at 583 Park Avenue, New York, N.Y., in conjunction with Vision Expo East. All proceeds from the event will go to support the sight-saving programs of Prevent Blindness.

The Prevent Blindness Persons of Vision Award recognizes an individual, corporation and/or organization whose inspired outlook champions healthy vision and its importance for a healthy life. VSP Global was selected as the recipient of the Persons of Vision Award for their 65-year commitment to a mission of helping people see, as well as its long-term support and partnership with Prevent Blindness.

VSP Global began its partnership with Prevent Blindness in 1999, following the inception of the first VSP Eyes of Hope initiative, Sight for Students, two years prior. Since then, nearly 123,000 students in need have received no-cost eye care and eyewear valued at more than $22 million through the Sight for Students program alone. In total, VSP Global and Prevent Blindness have expanded access to vision care for more than a quarter of a million adults and children in need. In addition, VSP Global staff has volunteered in various capacities including committee work and services to the Prevent Blindness Board of Directors.

Guyette has long been an advocate for making health insurance better aligned with the needs of consumers. He leads VSP Global’s vision to provide access to affordable, high quality eye care and eyewear to its nearly 90 million members. Before joining VSP Global in 2018, Guyette served as President and CEO of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota. Prior to that, he held senior leadership positions at Aetna, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida and Independence Blue Cross. A native of Rhode Island, Guyette holds a bachelor’s degree in finance from the University of North Texas, and an MBA from Villanova University.

“As we enter the year 2020, it seems only fitting that we honor the work of all the employees at VSP Global, including Michael Guyette, for their work which has had such a tremendous, positive impact on improving vision and keeping eyes healthy every day,” said Jeff Todd, president and CEO of Prevent Blindness. “Prevent Blindness and our affiliates have been fortunate to be long-time partners in their generous works. We invite everyone to help us celebrate this milestone year and the great efforts of Mr. Guyette and all of those at VSP Global who help promote and protect healthy vision.”

“This recognition is a testament to the incredible impact our organization has made since it was founded in 1955,” said Guyette. “I’m honored to share it alongside VSP network doctors and our employees who have contributed so much to change the lives of so many by expanding access to eye care for as many people as possible.”

The chairpersons of the 2020 Prevent Blindness Persons of Vision Committee are long-time Prevent Blindness volunteer and past Persons of Vision Award Honoree, Marge Axelrad, senior vice president, editorial director at Vision Monday/Jobson Optical Group, and past Prevent Blindness Board Member and Marketing and Development Committee member; and Mark Ginsburg, Chief Giving Officer, VSP Global, Prevent Blindness Board of Directors member and Chair of the Marketing and Development Committee.

As a longtime advocate and someone with such a personal connection to the cancer community, Katie’s compassion and tireless support has touched countless lives and brought much needed awareness while giving families across the world a new reason for hope.

The Melanoma Research Foundation (MRF) will host the 18th Annual NYC Gala on Thursday, October 17 at Cipriani Broadway. The gala will welcome award-winning journalist, producer, New York Times best-selling author, podcast host, documentary filmmaker, co-founder of Stand Up to Cancer (SU2C) and longtime cancer prevention advocate, Katie Couric.

In partnership with more than a dozen patient advocacy groups, “With Love, Me” showcases a series of heartfelt letters written by caregivers and cancer survivors to their former selves reflecting upon what they wish they had known – or needed to hear – when they were first coping with a cancer diagnosis. Katie will also be joined by one of the campaign’s patient advocates and an active member of the MRF community, melanoma survivor Patrick Guddal.

“We are honored to welcome Katie Couric for this incredible event,” said Kyleigh LiPira, MRF CEO. “As a longtime advocate and someone with such a personal connection to the cancer community, Katie’s compassion and tireless support has touched countless lives and brought much needed awareness while giving families across the world a new reason for hope.”

At the 2019 NYC Gala, the MRF will present a Humanitarian Award to Jeffrey Weber, MD, PhD in recognition of the dedication he has shown in his work to advance the field of melanoma research and treatment development. Alexander N. Shoushtari, MD will receive the CURE OM Vision of Hope Award in honor of his exemplary patient care and work towards much needed breakthroughs in ocular melanoma research. For the inspiring bravery they have shown in facing melanoma, Mark McAndrew Brown, Laraine Pirie and Henry Seger will be honored with Courage Awards. A posthumous Courage Award will celebrate the life and enduring memory of Daryl Lynn Pace, whose courageous fight with ocular melanoma was and is an inspiration to our community.

Gala attendees will enjoy a seated gourmet meal, handcrafted cocktails, once-in-a-lifetime auction items and experiences and a special performance by Rebecca Cherry, a critically acclaimed violinist, composer and melanoma survivor. Most importantly, guests will create a powerful and lasting impact by raising life-saving funds for melanoma research. In 2018, gala attendees raised over $1 million to support melanoma research, education and advocacy!

About Melanoma

Melanoma is one of the fastest growing cancers in the United States and can strike men and women of all ages, races and skin types. With a 1 in 50 lifetime risk of developing melanoma, this year more than 192,000 Americans will be diagnosed. Melanoma is the leading cause of cancer death in women 25-to 29-years-old and the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in adolescents and young adults 15-to 29-years-old. Most melanomas occur on the skin; but melanoma can also occur in the eye (ocular, or uveal melanoma), in mucous membranes (mucosal melanoma), or even beneath fingernails or toenails.

About the Melanoma Research Foundation

The Melanoma Research Foundation (MRF) is the largest independent organization devoted to melanoma. Since 1998, the MRF has funded over $17 million in melanoma research, transforming the landscape of treatment development. Committed to the support of medical research in finding effective treatments and eventually a cure for melanoma, the MRF also educates patients and physicians about prevention, diagnosis and the treatment of melanoma. The MRF is a committed advocate for the melanoma community, helping to raise awareness of the disease and the need for a cure.
