A team at Auburn is using reinvention to come up with a solution to what could be a ventilator shortage across the state.
The
Auburn University engineering professors, students and alumni have
successfully re-purposed a standard CPAP machine into a functional
emergency ventilator for health care providers to use during the
Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) crisis.
The
team says their goal with the Auburn RE-INVENT Project was to develop a
reliable option for an emergency ventilator that could be assembled
using readily available commercial off-the-shelf components combined
with a home CPAP machine.
