Siemens Healthineers responded immediately after the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak in Wuhan and donated medical systems to fight the virus within a very short time. In addition to the Somatom go.Top CT scanner, Siemens Healthineers provided local hospitals with several ultrasound machines and digital mobile X-ray systems. Those equipment plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and monitoring of COVID-19, the lung disease caused by the virus.
Test detects antibodies to spike protein – a key protein
Importantly, the test detects antibodies to a key protein on the surface of the SARS-CoV-2 virus—a spike protein, which binds the virus to cells with a distinct human receptor found in lungs, heart, multiple organs and blood vessels. Studies indicate that certain (neutralizing) antibodies to the spike protein can disarm SARS-CoV-2. Multiple potential vaccines in development for SARS-CoV-2 include the spike protein within their focus.
Total Antibody Test At a Glance
High quality and targeting the right protein are all essential to ensure we effectively manage the threat of COVID-19. See here all information on the total antibody test at a glance.
Siemens Healthineers ramps up production capacity
Siemens Healthineers plans to ship more than 50 million antibody tests per month worldwide as production capacity increases. Find here footage from our sites in Tarrytown (NY) and Walpole (MA) to use for your broadcast.

What the lungs of COVID-19 patients look like
The images taken with the Somatom go.Up computer tomograph from Siemens Healthineers show the lung changes associated with confirmed COVID-19 disease. The densifications correspond to inflammatory processes in the lung tissue. The images (left and middle) use a special visualization technique that is also used in the film industry – Cinematic Rendering. For comparison the conventional CT sectional image on the right.

Computed tomography
In the context of COVID-19, computed tomography (CT) systems are used to monitor patients with acute or impending lung failure and to ensure they receive the necessary therapies – especially in the intensive care treatment of ventilated patients. The picture shows the new Somatom X.cite CT scanner.

X-ray
X-ray systems are part of the patient care process. The picture shows the Mobilett Elara Max, a mobile X-ray imaging.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound devices are used in the overall care process of ill people. With bedside Ultrasound imaging, you can diagnose, monitor and follow-up patients without having to move them and risk virus transmission, which is especially relevant during the COVID-19 crisis. The picture shows the ultrasound system Acuson Freestyle Elite.
