Estamos en un mundo global,  y lo que sucede a miles de kilómetros también nos puede afectar, en este caso se solucionará, pero quizás otros sucesos sean irremediables, es sólo un ejemplo de lo fácil que es llegar a una "rotura de stock", en muchos ámbitos de nuestras vidas.

Dear Maria Isabel Castro Perez, As a result of the earthquakes and subsequent aftershocks in Italy, we have been approached by customers inquiring about our ability to provide incremental perfusion and blood management products to hospitals in your region.  We want to assure you that Medtronic supplies are well-stocked. We will support you and other customers to ensure that surgeries are not interrupted. In several locations, we have expanded our manufacturing levels by implementing 24-hour, seven-days-per- week work shifts. Medtronic has manufacturing facilities in the United States, Europe and Mexico for these products. We are prepared to provide increased inventory of perfusion and blood management products now, and into the future, while we await a clearer understanding of the full impact of this situation.  Our foremost concern is for patients, that they receive the care they need and that their surgical procedures are not delayed.  If you have concerns or need assistance in maintaining your supply of perfusion and/or blood management products, please contact your local Medtronic representative. We can assist you in assessing options for your consideration.  Sincerely,  Shawn Monaghan Vice President, and General Manager of Surgical Based Therapies, Structural Heart Medtronic, Inc.
