The Interface Design laboratory has developed a low cost, full functioning mechanical ventilation system. This system does NOT rely on a resuscitation bag and patients can be kept on the system for days to weeks at a time. Parts for the system cost around $500, assembled systems will cost close to $1000. This system is comparable is $12,000-$15,000 ventilation systems.
Specifications
- Three respiratory modes, Continuous Machine Ventilation (CMV), Intermediate Machine Ventilation, (IMV), and Spontaneous Continuous Respiration (SCR)
- A 4th, non-standard ventilation mode, for high flow oxygen therapy (HFOT) is also included. This treatment has recently been developed for COVID-19 patients
- Fully tunable
- Tidal Volume (between 100-900mL)
- Inspiration Time (0.3sec-2.0sec)
- I/E Ratio
- PEEP (1-20 cmH2O)
- Maximal PIP (40-70cmH2O)
- FiO2 (20-100%)
- Reliable tidal volume delivery that is minimally effected by the health of a patients lungs or the set PEEP value
- An LCD screen that displays exhaled tidal volume, predictive tidal volume, inspiration low rate, minute volume, PEEP, PIP, and Compliance
- Graphical output is possible but requires the attachment of a computer)
- 12 different alarm conditions
The system runs on one 110V outlet and needs 15PSI of compressed air and/or oxygen. The manufacturing setup is underway. Regulatory approval is the last hurdle to commercialization.
