SwasthVayu, the briefcase-sized ventilator weighs under 3 kg and can be useful for mild to moderate COVID-19 patients, Managing Director Baddam Jaipal Reddy told presspersons on Wednesday.
Defence, aerospace design and development solutions provider Apollo Computing Laboratories has indigenously developed a portable, non-invasive ventilator.
SwasthVayu, the briefcase-sized ventilator weighs under 3 kg and can be useful for mild to moderate COVID-19 patients, Managing Director Baddam Jaipal Reddy told presspersons on Wednesday. It delivers oxygen through a non-vented mask tightly fitted to the face, without a need for tracheal intubation or a tube being inserted through the mouth into the windpipe.
Apollo Computing Labs unveils indigenously developed ventilator

The potable non-invasive ventilator developed in collaboration with CSIR-National Aerospace Laboratories Apollo Computing Laboratories (ACL), a Hyderabad-based defence, aerospace design and development solutions provider, has unveiled a potable non-invasive ventilator SwasthVayu 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.
The device, which can mitigate the hardship being experienced by Covid-19 patients, has been certified for safety and performance by NABL accredited Labs, after undergoing stringent biomedical tests and beta clinical trials at NAL Health Centre, Manipal Hospitals, Bengaluru

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. “
