Made in Pakistan Ventilators

The virus is weakening it's ability to cause more harm to the body in all over the world , virus spread may be increasing but deaths are reducing

Get well soon - prayers for your healthy recovery.

Thanks brother. 8th day and counting.

The reports, manufacturer and minister all clearly saying vantilator, so it is a vantilator. Btw i am not aware of the BIPAP and certainly not much educated about vantilators so cant say which is better for export. But if it help humanity then why not?

I am into finance but I have three engineering degrees so I'd outline few challenges.

Human physique is different for different people so is lungs capacity, ventilator or BI-PAP are artificial breathing machines they do it by pushing air in the patient with pressure. But the air has to be mixed with oxygen with patients of COVID19 depending upon lungs damage.

Push too much air and the lungs will burst, push too low air and the patient will die due to air deprivation, push too much oxygen and there will oxygen over dose, push low oxygen and the body organs will start failing, oh i forget continuous monitoring of oxygen levels and critical functions.

This represent further challenge, how much air to push, what frequency, what air mix it has all to be in the software of the machine.

For that you can approach three ways, one research with the help of medical professional particularly pulmonologists and they are a rare breed. Or buy the model from companies having this expertise Phillips, Siemens, Toshiba and few others are the kings in diagnostics and other medical equipment. but they are not going to license their cash cows away, so that leaves research or a JV.

So I gave call to few friends and received the technical spec and demo videos direct from the source, of course I wont be sharing them.

They have different models BIPAP and ventilators, the challenges were monumental thus under Chinese manufacturing (read assembling) based upon design of a Turkish firm along software/components is the end product.

Basically assembling, however I have my serious concerns Toshiba, Siemens, Philips are kings not just because of their products but their after sales service and continuous research. Just so happens We purchased a dozen BI-PAP machines and oxygen concentrators, we imported them as new with warranty.

After purchase we found one of the BI-PAP and two concentrators are not working we contacted Phillips with serial numbers and all that their team of engineers remained in video discussion with undersigned with software/hardware solutions/patches and all that. One of them didn't get fixed probably due to component failure, Phillips send us a special consignment for replacement.

Now that was phillips, imagine an equipment malfunction on a fauji assembled product who will provide warranty, after sales service, technical support. No comments there you know. Remember we are dealing with human lives we cant have another PIA crash.

Had it been in the private sector with international JV I would have been happier, although this is a step in right direction of self reliance, I am happy but m concerns are valid and I will keep my fingers crossed.

You should know that we have no time to establish private companiese, create its board and fill other required vacancies, this alone would have taken 2+ months. Then technical requirement selection after that issuing RFI. Selecting a product after analysis of responses. Discussions and negotiations, JV terms and conditions, contract signing then team visits, setting of asdembly line, training of workers, pakistan specific R&D segment and coming to final product. Would have taken no less then 8+ months. This is something we did in a war time situation. Allocated existing reaources so that the process can be speeded up.

NUST also designed one which is about to hit markets in a week time as per Minsiter. Now NUST is a private player. See. We are oj right track but first thing first.

Hope we don't need to use them, surely we can exports it as these are in hight demand in severely effected countries like India maxico Brazil usa
