Medtronic shares ventilator design data
Medtronic shares ventilator design dataThe medical device giant Medtronic announced yesterday (March 30) that it would publicly announce Puritan Bennett's PB) Complete design specification, production manual, design documentation and software code for the 560 Portable Ventilator
.
The PB 560 ventilator has many advantages, the biggest highlight of which is the compact body, as well as easy movement and installation, which can meet different medical environments and settings
.
This ventilator was first put on the market in 2010 and has undergone rigorous clinical trials for more than 10 years
.
In view of the current new crown virus epidemic, more and more companies have joined the ranks of producing ventilators
.
However, for non-professional players, it is very difficult to modify the existing production line
.
This move by Medtronic has undoubtedly provided great help to these companies
.
John Jordan, director of external communications at Medtronic Minimally Invasive Therapies Group, said: “We are sharing design specifications for the PB 560 ventilator to enable players across industries to evaluate options for rapid ventilator manufacturing to help physicians and patients respond to COVID-19.
pneumonia
.
"
He said Medtronic also currently manufactures other more complex ventilators, including the PB 980 and PB 840, but this requires the company to source more than 1,500 components from a variety of specialist manufacturers and rely on a "skilled and specialized workforce" and "interconnected global supply chain”
.
The PB 560 is relatively simple and designed to be the best choice for inexperienced ventilator startups

Dyson launches simple ventilator for rapid mass production
Dyson launches simple ventilator for rapid mass productionRecently, Dyson, a British home appliance manufacturer, took less than 10 days to research and develop a new ventilator called CoVent with TTP Company for the treatment of new coronary pneumonia
.
It is reported that because the ventilator is a regulated product, Dyson and its partner TTP are working with the British Medicines Regulatory Agency (MHRA) to ensure the product and manufacturing process are approved
.

.
Dyson founder James Dyson said that the CoVent is a portable ventilator that is fixed at the head of the bed and can be powered by batteries
.
It is also a device that can be produced quickly, efficiently, and in large quantities, specifically designed for patients with new pneumonia
.
The ventilator can be installed on a mobile hospital bed
.
Dyson and TTP are racing against time to produce the CoVent ventilator, which will be ready as soon as early April
.
At the same time, Dyson promised to donate 5,000 ventilators to the international community, of which 1,000 will be donated to the UK

Dr.
Renato Favero contacted the Italian 3D printing company Isinnova
.
Using digital design files provided by Decathlon, they quickly designed a 3D-printed valve that would allow the mask to attach to traditional hospital respirators
.
It is reported that 500 patients are currently being treated with this modified breathing mask
