"Manual Respiratory Balloon."

Growponics has teamed up with physicians experienced in the different aspects of mechanical ventilation in order to develop a quick and simple solution for respirating patients with COVID-19 in need of respiratory assistance. The device is based on a manual respiratory balloon. The person operating the device squeezes the balloon rhythmically to ventilate a patient in emergency situations.
The standard respiration system is attached to a mechanical squeezing system consisting of two tubes connected to an oxygen tank and a computerized controlled piston. Using a button, the controller allows adjustments of the tidal volume, respiratory rate, inspiratory/expiratory ratio, and positive end expiratory pressure or ventilation of the patient according to the peak respiratory pressure.
Using a small oxygen tank, the device allows 1.5 hours of respiration, though in hospitals the supply of compressed oxygen or air is unlimited. The system uses a standard controller that Growponics has large numbers of in stock. Using the existing stock, hundreds of devices may be produced at relatively low costs (around $200 per device).
