PulmoLogic Demonstrates Rapidly Manufacturable Emergency Ventilator

 
SAN FRANCISCO - April 14, 2020 - PRLog -- PulmoLogic has demonstrated a rapidly manufacturable emergency ventilator. The device, named ClipVent, is a derivative of already-existing, FDA-approved emergency ventilator designs. The oxygen-powered device has been modified for manufacturing speed and rapid deployment and is expected to be made available at $100 per unit.

The attached video demonstrates the ClipVent operating with a test lung.

"This video demonstrates a functional prototype of the design," said Jascha Wilcox, PulmoLogic's technical director. "The device is specifically designed to be injection molded at very high volume to scale with exponential demand requirements, similar to those of a pandemic."

Plastic injection mold tooling for ClipVent can be produced in days, with initial production expected to begin at volumes of up to 100,000 units per month. Existing designs require more complex tooling that typically takes weeks to produce. ClipVent also does not require any special equipment or tools to assemble—​​it can be assembled by hand in minutes.

"In disaster situations, healthcare institutions should have a sufficient supply of emergency equipment," said Isaac Sheets, PulmoLogic's managing director. "With ClipVent, PulmoLogic aims to ensure the availability of that equipment."

ClipVent is now undergoing product validation and seeking FDA Emergency Use Authorization. PulmoLogic is currently fundraising to bring the product to market as soon as possible.
