Pakvent 1, indigenous ventilator by POF under trials

[V. Makarov]

I have recently come to realize that these make-shift ventilators can also be harmful for the patient. The volume of the airflow has to be meticulously monitored through sensors, and the air going inside the lungs need to be humid etc.

Hope everything goes smoothly

Its being produced by 2 national organisations that build far more developed technologies.

This Corona pandemic may turn us into manufacture r instead of importers

Not necessarily. This is probably a bare metal implementation and not running a RTOS. A couple of GPIO pins for getting analog signals from two pressure sensors (inhale/exhale) and then two pins for opening/closing two solenoid valves, a couple of pins to drive motors to inflate/deflate air balls and 3-4 pins for SPI to communicate with LCD. A junior software tester can test it in an hour. Also often equipment like this is tested by blackbox testing method. Meaning you don't care what is happening inside, you just look at input and output and if output meets desired output plus/minus error then you are good.

Rumour has it that they already had a prototype designed earlier and they simply reused it when the current crises started.

Let this crisis be a wakeup call for self reliance in manufacturing

An excellent ventilator design. Simple and can be produced using existing machines.

any update on this when its quality checked and coming in market?

DRAP needs to give clearance first

DRAP needs to give clearance first

How long would that take to get Quality Standard check?
