## General
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Is this ventilator as good as a normal ventilator?
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
No. The HEV ventilator design is not intended to replace the high-end devices needed for the most intense phase of treatment, but should be appropriate and useful in the hospital environment for milder symptoms or long term care and recovery.
