Philips to Offer Free Downloadable Files to 3D Print Replacement Parts
The idea is that Philips will provide 3D files for replacement parts for their products. Consumers will be able to download these files and print the parts themselves, or through a supplier.
For now the selection is quite sparse—the only downloadable file available is for a trimmer comb—but the initiative has only launched this month, and the company says more parts are to come. (And hopefully more languages, too; at present the Fixables website is only presented in Czech.)

Philips-Medtronic collaboration expands for patient monitoring
Philips has announced the expansion of its partnership with Medtronic, focusing on advancing patient monitoring technologies to improve care quality. This multi-year agreement builds on a collaboration that started in 1992. Philips' patient monitoring systems already incorporate Medtronic's brands such as Nellcor pulse oximetry, BIS brain monitoring, and Microstream capnography. Under the deal, Philips will also pack required supplies such as NIBP, batteries, and electrocardiogram (ECG) with Philips Medtronic-enabled monitors. This integrated approach is intended to simplify procurement processes and offer a validated solution that reduces the complexity of managing several contracts. Initially targeting the North American market, the collaboration plans to extend its reach worldwide. The companies are also launching a pledge programme to reinforce their commitment to the safety of the patients, ensuring that every integrated technology is validated clinically, cybersecure, and prepared for frontline clinical usage. The programme is designed to provide clinicians the assurance that the monitoring tools they use are high-performing and adhere to strict quality standards. This enables healthcare professionals to concentrate on patient care without the concern of compatibility issues. By providing flexible technology solutions, the partnership addresses the emerging needs of healthcare professionals. Philips clinical applications and devices for hospital patient monitoring general manager Sachin Chaudhari said: 'Philips is passionate about equipping clinicians with the tools they need to provide better care to more patients. 'Through our partnership with Medtronic, we're providing a comprehensive monitoring solution that is validated throughout all stages, giving clinicians access to the reliable, high-quality products they need to do their jobs.' Last month, Philips launched a new point-of-care (POC) ultrasound system tailored to widen the accessibility of ultrasound for diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.
