HEYER Medical AG Announces Research Project in Collaboration with the International Copper Association
The International Copper Association (ICA) and HEYER Medical AG are pleased to announce the company’s proposal entitled “New applications for copper/copper alloy antimicrobial components in medical devices” has been selected as one of six winning proposals approved for funding from the more than 100 pre-proposals submitted to the ICA worldwide. HEYER also has the distinction of being the only award winner that is not a university.
HEYER Medical’s proposal was subjected to a rigorous screening by copper and technology experts, and it was selected based on a highly feasible research plan and its potential for positive impact on the global use of copper in the medical field. HEYER Medical has extensive experience in medical device development, testing, manufacturing and certification. “Heyer designs and produces critical life-support equipment, where performance and quality must meet or exceed the highest standards to ensure patient safety.” said Klaus Schickhaus, president of HEYER Medical AG. “The replacing of certain components with copper provides further protection from infection-specific indicator organisms that continue to be a challenge in hospital and clinical environments.”
The objective of this program is to measure whether certain components in various medical devices, such as anesthesia and inhalation machines – if replaced with copper and/or copper alloys – would reduce the potential spread of infection. Other medical devices are logical for using the antimicrobial properties of copper and its alloy, such as those used in disaster relief situations where both environmental and aseptic conditions are challenging.
The outcome from this research will provide the ICA with a framework for the continued development of medical devices fabricated with copper. Mr. Kevin Krizman, Assistant Director of Technology, stated that, “our work with HEYER on this project reflects the commitment of the ICA to develop the inherent antimicrobial properties of copper and copper alloys into practical hygienic applications.” The potential benefits of having active an antimicrobial environment that reduces or eliminates infectious pathogens could be enormous in advancing the next generation of medical devices.

HEYER Medical has obtained exclusive marketing rights for Xenon capable anesthesia unit
Based on an agreement with Air Liquide Medical Systems, a member of Air Liquide Group - France, HEYER Medical has obtained exclusive marketing rights for Xenon capable anesthesia unit, to be sold under HEYER`s TM VentOR Dual, covering the German speaking countries.
In more then 200 clinical tests in German clinics using the VentOR DUAL, the uniqueness of the rare gas Xenon as an anesthetic was demonstrated.
The VentOR DUAL itself convinced due to the low consumption of Xenon, its user friendliness as well as the exact controllability of the inhalation anesthetic. This device was optimized, in close cooperation with the anesthetist of the clinics involved. The use of Xenon gas reduced the stress level of the patient to a minimum.
Additional advantages for the patient:
Anesthesiologists’ report that in comparison with usual anesthetics, Xenon has shown less side effects, Due to the low side effect profile, Xenon gas appears to cause less strain on general organ function, allowing the patient to regain consciousness quicker, independent of age or length of surgical intervention. During anesthesia the circulatory systems remains stable, of particular importance for high risk patients.
Additionally with Xenon being a “natural” gas it is not harmful to the environment.
VentOR DUAL provides increased patient safety, a healthier working environment in the OR, improved economics and responsible use of resources.
By introducing the VentOR DUAL HEYER Medical will strengthen its core competence and expand its position in the medical technology field.

HEYER is founding a subsidiary company in China
HEYER moved forward a great leap 2007 in developing it’s international business with founding its wholly owned subsidiary– HEYER Medical Beijing Ltd. In May 2007, the company moved into a representative office at the Oriental Plaza, located right in the centre of Beijing, less then a mile away from the world famous Tiananmen Square.
HEYER’s Anesthesia machines are in operation in China since the middle of the 90’s. A systematic market development in this large and multifaceted country, especially in respect to customer service and product maintenance based on German Quality standards, demands a local presence. Initially, HEYER Medical Beijing Ltd. will focus on building a nationwide network of independent distributors.
Traditionally, China is a country with high health awareness. The accelerated development of social security, as well as the health service in rural areas lead to expectations that the expenditures for medical care are continued to surpass 10% p.a.. China had 19,246 hospitals with 2.56 million beds by the end of 2006. In 15 to 20 years China will probably be the world’s largest market for medical products.
China is moving its main focus more and more from quantity to quality. HEYER has a long history in technical development and innovation based on German quality standards and Engineering tradition. HEYER wants to contribute this know how to the further development and modernisation of the Chinese health care system.
HEYER looks forward to meet the challenge of gaining a respectable market share in this demanding and always changing market. At the same time we expect that the encounter of local medical knowledge and thousands of years old but at the same time also highly modern culture will produce learning effects that have a positive influence on HEYER’s world wide development.

MEDICA 2007
MEDICA, the world largest trade fair in the area of medical technology is held every year. MEDICA stands for tradition, innovation and accumulated competence.
These are exactly the values HEYER Medical AG represents. Additionally to its well known line of anesthesia machines and inhalation devices HEYER Medical displayed an additional number of improvements and innovations this year. New and changing market situations demand increased customer orientation and expansion of the product portfolio.
In the area of inhalation HEYER Medical AG reacted with the forthcoming market launch of the maris III – Innovative features wrapped in trend-setting design for the medical- /medical-wellness market. The expansion of the home-care market range with the new NIMBUS-Series allows ideal patient care at home, in the clinic or ambulatory at the doctor’s office.
VentOR – a new introduction in our anesthesia line was displayed for the first time at MEDICA, featuring alternatively electronically or pressure controlled flow meters, expanded ventilation modes, aspiratory flow measurement as well as a new patient module. New product introductions in the area of patient monitoring and intensive care ventilation completed our presentation of HEYER as an innovative, future oriented corporation.
Not only with the implementation of new and medically desired functions, but also with the presentation of ARMS (Advanced Remote Management System) we are meeting the demands of an adequate and cost effective service and maintenance management system. ARMS makes it possible to conduct a remote diagnosis of our units regardless of their location. With the aid of a secure online connection many service checks and all preventive maintenance measures can be undertaken. In the past a service technician had to be on site to conduct these tasks.
These are examples how HEYER underlines its claim to provide innovations that improve the reliability of our units and raises their operational time and performance to the maximum. Our clients, whether national or international appreciate this additional service because service calls can be better planned and downtime in the OR can be reduced to a minimum. ARMS offers increased security at reduced costs.
HEYER does not only focus on the technological feasible or the economical useful but in particular on the needs of our customers. HEYER aims to continue to optimize units and technology through direct dialog with the customers.
