Pudu Robotics Launches New Generation of Disinfection Robot “Puductor 2” to Provide Technical Support for Global Fight against the Pandemic

SHENZHEN, CHINA / ACCESSWIRE / November 18, 2020 / The reliable information shows that Pudu Robotics, a global commercial service robot company located in Shenzhen, China's R&D capital, will soon launch a new generation of disinfection robot "Puductor 2" to the global market after launching the first generation of disinfection robot "Puductor" successfully. The release of the new product will first target the European and American markets where the pandemic is relatively severe. With the aid of science and technology, Pudu hopes to provide support for medical institutions, governments, schools, airports, subway stations, banks and other public places around the world to fight against the pandemic.

"Puductor 2" is specially designed for the global battle on the pandemic, which is equipped with two disinfection modes of ultrasonic dry mist and UV-C, and comprehensively improves the disinfection ability of bacteria and viruses, especially for killing and cutting off the spread of the long-lasting COVID-19. On the one hand, "Puductor 2" ultrasonic dry mist disinfection mode adopts annular mist with a capacity of 15L disinfectant. Disinfectant is atomized into dry particles less than 10µm by ultrasonic atomization technology and sprayed into the air to suspend for a long time, thus ensuring full and complete contact between the disinfectant and microorganisms in the air for disinfection and sterilization. In the actual operation process, "Puductor 2" is provided with four gears to adjust the atomization rate and the amount of spray freely based on space requirements.

On the other hand, the newly mounted UV-C disinfection mode is equipped with a Philips UV lamp with an illuminance of 180μW/cm2 at 1 meter. Through the irradiation of ultraviolet lamp, bacteria and viruses can be killed without direct contact with objects, thus realizing 360°disinfection and become leading and effective in the whole industry. UV-C disinfection can not only be applicable to indoor air, but also for the surface of various objects, including desks and chairs, clothes, lockers, corridors in hospitals, temporary rescue centers, etc. In addition, the UV lamp of "Puductor 2" is fitted with a motorized interlocking mechanism, and it can be kept in a closed state under non-UV working conditions, which can avoid damage to the lamp caused by movement or impact.

Numerous studies have shown that ultraviolet mainly causes radiation damage and destruction of nucleic acid functions to kill microorganisms and realize the disinfection purpose, which can disinfect and kill 99.99% of dangerous viruses, bacteria, molds, spores and other harmful microorganisms, pathogens in daily life.

Supporting remote terminals to control the machine is another highlight of "Puductor 2". This function is a humanized design based on the personal safety of the operator. When operating, operators do not have to stand beside the robot. They can assign disinfection tasks to the robot through the remote terminal provided by Pudu Robotics, and receive notification at the end. At the same time, the liquid level of the disinfection solution tank can be detected in real time, and users will be reminded to supplement the solution in time when the liquid level is low. In order to facilitate the operators of public places and some private institutions to record and summarize the disinfection work, "Puductor 2" has added the function of automatically generating work reports and checking the disinfection in the area.

It is worth mentioning that "Puductor 2" adopts the Laser SLAM Auto-driving Solution, a laser positioning algorithm developed by Pudu Robotics. The multiple sensors embedded in the solution allow in-depth environment perception, which realize indoor automatic driving and synchronous positioning. At the same time, it supports remote driving, remote detection and high-precision positioning. Thanks to its strong adaptability, it can carry out disinfection work in clubs, libraries, exhibition halls, gymnasiums, concert halls, cinemas, game halls, trains and other places. In addition, "Puductor 2" is equipped with 2 batteries with a total capacity of 51.2Ah, which can disinfect 12-15 rooms (about 20㎡) at a time.

It is reported that "Puductor 2", the new generation of disinfection robot, will carry two disinfection modes of ultrasonic dry mist and UV-C, which improve the range and efficiency of disinfection. Users can switch between the two modes required by the scene. Moreover, compared with manual and fixed disinfection methods, robot disinfection can improve the safety, efficiency and effect of disinfection. In addition, "Puductor 2" has added a humanized remote-control function, which enables science and technology to serve human beings, improve production and living efficiency and make the product safe and reliable.

At present, "Puductor 2", the new generation of disinfection robot of Pudu, can be ordered worldwide. Let's fight against the pandemic together! Ordering email, global_sales@pudutech.com; Ordering tel.:+86 400-0826-660.

American Kidney Fund Convenes Leading Experts and Patients to Address Unknown Causes of Kidney Disease

Renowned researchers, professional organizations, allied health organizations, advocacy organizations and patients are participating in AKF's Summit to chart a path forward

ROCKVILLE, MD / ACCESSWIRE / November 18, 2020 / The American Kidney Fund (AKF) today announced a first-of-its-kind initiative, the Unknown Causes of Kidney Disease Summit, to improve understanding of how undiagnosed or misdiagnosed causes of kidney disease directly impact patient care and outcomes. The Summit will take place virtually on Tuesday, Dec. 1, 2020.

AKF's Unknown Causes of Kidney Disease Summit will bring together medical leaders, patient advocates, and academic and industry researchers to identify how the kidney community can drive innovation in research, diagnosis and treatment of the underlying causes of kidney disease. Summit participants will review the research on this subject, hear directly from affected patients, identify barriers to progress, and develop a plan for a path forward to address this serious issue in nephrology. The Summit is made possible with generous funding from our Leadership Sponsors Natera, Otsuka America Pharmaceutical, Inc., Sanofi Genzyme, and Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated, our Champion Sponsor Alexion Pharmaceuticals, and our Supporting Sponsor Travere Therapeutics, Inc.

While diabetes and hypertension are the two main causes of kidney failure, many other conditions can affect the kidneys and have serious health implications for patients. In many cases, kidney failure may be caused by a rare, genetic disease, putting family members at risk as well. If the cause of kidney failure is not accurately diagnosed, patients can experience serious consequences: delayed treatment, additional comorbidities, and even the loss of a transplanted kidney.

"Too many people crash into late-stage kidney disease or complete kidney failure without ever knowing the cause. In some cases, these patients may receive a kidney transplant but later lose the transplant because of an underlying condition that is attacking the kidneys-this is nothing short of tragic," said LaVarne A. Burton, AKF president and CEO. "In other cases of misdiagnosis, multiple family members experience kidney failure before realizing there is a genetic cause. We're grateful to the researchers, organizations and patients committing to work with us on this life-saving, unprecedented initiative."

AKF has appointed a national steering committee to lead this initiative. The steering committee will spearhead the publication of a white paper from the Summit participants' insights, with the goal of producing an actionable path forward. The committee will also form post-Summit working groups to advance solutions uncovered during the Summit. Committee members are:

David Baron, Ph.D.: Diagnosed with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) in his 40s, Dr. Baron is a research scientist who has worked in academia at the Medical University of South Carolina, had a career in the pharmaceutical industry, and served as chief science officer for the PKD Foundation.
Ali Gharavi, M.D.: A leading kidney disease researcher, Dr. Gharavi is chief of the division of nephrology at New York-Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center, working to bring personalized genomic nephrology from the laboratory into patient care.
Kevin Ho, M.D.: Serving as medical director for U.S. medical affairs for rare diseases and rare kidney diseases at Sanofi Genzyme, Dr. Ho works to improve care outcomes for chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients.
Jack Johnson: As a Fabry disease patient and executive director and co-founder of the Fabry Support and Information Group, Johnson has spent more than two decades expanding understanding of this rare condition and improving the lives of patients living with Fabry disease.
Anna Köttgen, M.D.: A medical doctor and epidemiologist, Dr. Köttgen is head of the Institute of Genetic Epidemiology at the University of Freiburg (Germany) and is known worldwide for her expertise in the field of kidney disease genetics and complex renal and metabolic diseases.
Trudy McKanna, M.S.: A board-certified genetic counselor with over 20 years of experience in prenatal, pediatric, and laboratory genetic counseling, McKanna is director of medical education for transplant and renal genetics at Natera, where she works to enhance provider and patient education.
Silas Norman, M.D: A member of AKF's National Board of Trustees, Dr. Norman is a transplant nephrologist at University of Michigan Division of Nephrology. Dr. Norman is deeply involved in providing greater access to kidney transplants, particularly in medically underserved communities.
Julie Wright Nunes, M.D., MPH: AKF's Chair of Medical Affairs and a member of AKF's National Board of Trustees, Dr. Nunes is a physician scientist at the University of Michigan Division of Nephrology. In her role, Dr. Nunes works with patient-focused research at the forefront of patient and provider communication, patient health literacy, provider literacy and creating interventions that support patients learning about kidney disease, and what to do following a diagnosis of the disease.

"Kidney disease of unknown etiology is a very common condition, presenting a frustrating challenge for patients and clinicians," said steering committee member Dr. Gharavi. "This initiative is an exceptional endeavor, bringing together leading experts and advocates to chart a path forward that addresses critical science and clinical questions."

Organizations currently confirmed as Summit participants include: Alport Syndrome Foundation, American Association of Kidney Patients, American Nephrology Nurses Association, American Society of Nephrology, Chi Eta Phi Sorority, Inc., Dialysis Patient Citizens, IgAN Foundation, International Society of Nephrology, National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, National Kidney Foundation, National Medical Association, National Organization for Rare Disorders, National Society of Genetic Counselors, NephCure Kidney International, NEPTUNE Consortium, Oxalosis and Hyperoxaluria Foundation, Renal Pathology Society, Renal Physicians Association and the Veterans Health Administration.
