NAL developed BiPAP Non-Invasive Ventilator SwasthVayu
CSIR – National Aerospace Laboratories Bangalore has developed a Non Invasive BiPAP Ventilator in a record time of 36 days to treat COVID-19 patients.
BiPAP Non-Invasive ventilator is a microcontroller-based precise closed-loop adaptive control system with a built-in biocompatible 3D printed manifold & coupler with Highly Efficient Particulate Air Filter (HEPA Filter).
The system has been developed with unique features help to alleviate the fear of the virus spread. It has features like Spontaneous, CPAP, Timed, AUTO BIPAP modes with provision to connect Oxygen concentrator or Enrichment unit externally.
The system has been certified for safety and performance by NABL accredited agencies.
The system has undergone stringent biomedical tests and beta clinical trials at NAL Health Centre.
SwasthVayu machine is simple to use without any specialized nursing, cost-effective, compact and configured with a majority of indigenous components.
BIPAP Non-Invasive Ventilator has been developed with an externally connected Oxygen concentrator which will be ideal to treat moderate or mid-stage severe COVID-19 patients who do not require intubation and invasive ventilation.
