Prototyping of a cost effective and portable ventilator

摘要

Scripture under sight is defining the robustness and functionalities of ventilator which is not only easily transferable as well as it is very low cost and economics friendly. It is designed under the basic idea of being incorporated in huge human catastrophes in poorly resources enriched environments. Ventilator under the proposed design was being developed with wooden pieces with a weight of 6 kg and has a volume of 14 × 7 × 9 inches. It functions without human operator as it delivers breaths through the compression of an orthodox bag-valve mask. It satisfies its energy needs from an electric motor having battery power of 12 volts DC. Different functions need to be performed for the purpose of ventilation i.e. pressure and required number of breathes per minute is managed by an easy to use input board comprising of buttons. In addition to that it also contains an alarm of low battery indication system as well as an assist control. This proposed design of ventilator is made up of a cost of 150, but on a massive production it will result into cost benefits and it will be available at a price of 100. This piece of prototype is cost effective as well as energy efficient as far as the present technology in ventilators is concerned. It can be declared as a viable option based upon the above characteristics.
