Open Breath pulmonary ventilator
Project description
Open Breath project aims at the development and production of a scalable low-cost lung ventilator. Open Breath lung ventilator presents an innovative design, conceived to be quickly realized with off-the-shelf low-cost hardware components.
Status of development
The device is currently under development, a first metal prototype has been realized .
Main Features
- Innovative design based on the automatization of a bag-valve-mask (BVM)
- Quickly producible with "off-the-shelf" parts
- Extremely low cost
- Both invasive and non-invasive assisted ventilation: PEEP, SIMV, CPAP modes
- Aims at compliance with the BS EN 80601-2-12:2020 standard
- Connected device and live interface:
- Sensors: pressure, flowrate
- Provides blood oxygenation rate and heart rate (nice to have)
- Will send alerts and updates in real-time directly to healthcare professionals
- Licensed under CERN-OHL-S v2
