Low-Cost Ventilator Set to Help People in Low-Income Countries The ventilators are simpler and cheaper to make than those currently available. Imperial College London London, UK The creators of the designs hope that their promising technology, initially developed for emergency short-term ventilators in response to the coronavirus pandemic, will help to address the shortage of mechanical ventilators in developing countries in the long term. In a new paper published in Frontiers in Medical Technology, the researchers behind the 'RELAVENT' ventilator (previously known as JAMVENT), have demonstrated that the design achieves all of the performance requirements set out in ISO 80601, the international standard for critical care ventilators. The team also showed that the system performs equally well with a home-use A new low-cost ventilator design invented during COVID-19 could address the global shortage of ventilators for other respiratory diseases.
