VentilatorPAL
Project description
The home of the design files of the VentilatorPAL is here on ohwr.org.
Discussions can be held on the VentilatorPAL Discourse forum.
VentilatorPAL is a not-for-profit solution to the acute lack of respirators for the rapidly growing number of COVID-19 patients around the world.
VentilatorPAL is a high-quality but low-cost, open source ventilator that can be bought or built by anyone for a fraction of the cost of commercial ventilators.
The project is run by FreeBreathing.org and the VentilatorPAL was designed and built by Cosmicnode and Stogger, two Dutch tech companies who 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.
