In Aug 2015 Phoenix signed agreement with Medicine Mondiale to manufacture low cost Incubator, The Life Pod .
Sir Ray Avery is the founder and CEO of award winning development agency Medicine Mondiale.
Established in 2003 Medicine Mondiale manages a global network of Scientific, Clinical and business experts who donate their knowledge and time to develop medical solutions which make quality healthcare accessible to everyone.
The Problem
Each year eight million children die before their 5th birthday.
Three million of these deaths occur in the first 28 days and there is nothing more saddening than to watch helplessly as a new born babies life ends before it had had a chance at life. It doesn’t have to be this way. Many of these deaths are preventable if babies are placed in the safety and warmth of a neonatal incubator.
The problem is that High Tec lifesaving incubators are expensive, and require essential expensive on-going servicing and maintenance to keep them working. These incubators are not designed to work in the challenging developing world Hospital so they break down often.
The average lifespan of an infant incubator in a Hospital in Africa is less than eighteen months. Once an incubator fails it is pushed into a corner and forgotten.
When Incubators die, children die, but it doesn’t have to be this way.
The Solution
The Mondiale Life Pod incubator is designed to be indestructible, purifies its own air and water, and run for ten years, saving up to 500 little lives for a fraction of the price of existing incubators. Costs only $2,000 and will run continuously without the need for replacement parts or maintenance by trained technicians.
Using lean design and manufacturing principles and state of the art materials of construction the Lifepod incubator is lifecycle tested to 100,000 hours continuous running and does not need servicing by trained technicians.
The Patented Mondiale humidification system prevents the propagation of pathogenic bacteria within the incubator.
Phoenix Medical Systems expects a two-fold growth when it manufactures and distributes Life Pod to the whole world.
