    Indian company makes 'affordable' ventilator that does not need electricity
  • In a major development, a Bengaluru-based technology company has created an 'affordable ventilator' that does not need electricity to function.

    The machine comes at a price of Rs. 2,500 per unit - the most affordable of its kind - and could come really handy in helping India fight the novel coronavirus disease, COVID-19.

    Here's all about it.

    Dynamatic Tech and its low cost ventilator

  • Developed by Dynamatic Tech, a company making engineered products for aerospace and automotive giants like Airbus and Boeing, the low-cost ventilator features no electronic or imported components.

    It looks pretty different from ventilators seen in hospitals but works just fine by maintaining maximum/minimum pressure and controlling the oxygen mix for enabling a controlled breathing system.

  • Usage

    This could be critical for rural healthcare

  • The development of the ventilator was lauded by NITI Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant.

    "#DynamaticTech is an integral part of the supply chain for Airbus & Boeing. It is a leading auto component manufacturer & is a top class engineering company," he said, noting that their "innovation is critical for rural primary health centres & local hospitals" and India needs it to save lives.

  • Twitter Post

    Here's the tweet from Kant

  • Indian innovation: This is the lowest cost ventilator in the world developed by ⁦@DynamaticTech⁩ in Bengalaru.

  • Delivery

    50,000 ventilators to be delivered

  • Given the concerns over the coronavirus crisis, the Dynamatic Tech team is expected to deliver 50,000 of these low-cost ventilators to hospital facilities, the Times of India reported.

    Notably, the disposable, portable, and easy-to-use design of these ventilators will also make it relatively easy to deliver them to healthcare facilities in remote parts of India.

  • Shortage

    India is racing to scale up ventilator capacity
  • The development of the device comes as India races to get its ventilator capacity up and brace for critical COVID-19 cases.

    The country has already ordered some 10,000 regular ventilators from China, another 20,000 are being made by Noida-based AgVa Healthcare and Maruti Suzuki.

    However, they typically cost around Rs. 1.5 lakh, making the development of low-cost solutions like this one really important.

  • Information

    Other affordable ventilators being developed

  • Along with Dynamatic Tech, Pune-based Nocca Robotics is building an affordable ventilator costing around Rs. 50,000 while a team at IIT Roorkee has built one that costs Rs. 25,000 per unit.
