Apollo Computing Laboratories (ACL), a Hyderabad-based defence, aerospace design and development solutions provider, has unveiled SwasthVayu, a potable Non-Invasive Ventilator. It was indigenously developed in collaboration with CSIR-National Aerospace Laboratories.
The briefcase-sized SwasthVayu, weighing less than three kg, can be utilised in medical wards, make-shift hospitals, dispensaries, home healthcare operators and homes for treating Covid as well as non-Covid ailments like lung disease, sleep apnoea and respiratory weakness. It is a substitute for ventilator, which is invasive in nature.
The device which can mitigate the severe hardship being experienced by Covid-19 patients, has been certified for safety and performance by NABL accredited Labs, after stringent biomedical tests and beta clinical trials at NAL Health Centre, Manipal Hospitals, Bengaluru and many more hospitalsacross the nation. “SwasthVayu ventilator is an affordable option to address the problem being faced by the healthcare delivery system, especially during these challenging times of Covid 19 spike,” Baddam Jaipal Reddy, Managing Director, APC, said.
