A medically certified version with upgraded build-quality is available through [Stogger Medical](http://medical.stogger.com/).
The project is run by [FreeBreathing.org](https://freebreathing.org). VentilatorPAL was designed and built by Cosmicnode and Stogger with help of M.D. Hugo Touw of RadboudUMC. We believe that everybody should have access to a ventilator in times of medical crisis. That is why they made a simple design that is open source, meaning it is affordable and easy to manufacture.
