Scientists from the Łukasiewicz Research Network: the Institute of Aviation and the Tele and Radio Research Institute are developing prototypes of pressure and capacitive ventilators using material commonly available on the market.

The development works will be completed by the turn of April and May, and then the equipment will be tested. After developing the prototypes, scientists are planning to produce a pilot batch. After passing subsequent tests successfully, the ventilators will be accepted by the Ministry of Development what will allow to start their production.

The design assumptions of the respirators were consulted with the employees of the Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Clinic of the Institute “Children’s Memorial Health Center”. The project is implemented on the initiative and with the support of a coordinating team operating at the Ministry of Development.
