iSAVE re-purposes flow valves to support two patients A team of researchers in the United States has come up with splitters for ventilators that will address the shortage of the life-saving equipment. The Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation, Bengaluru, recently approved the equipment. IndVentr is the Indian partner making the device.
The team validated the device in India, and the first batch has been delivered to two hospitals in Kerala. By the month-end, 100 more units will be deployed at several hospitals.
Called iSAVE (Individualized System for Augmenting Ventilator Efficacy), the equipment re-purposes the flow valves of a ventilator to provide customised support to two patients.
