2020-03-19 | Open-source project spins up 3D-printed ventilator validation prototype in just one week – TechCrunch

'Ventilator hardware in the U.S. is also likely to encounter shortages, depending on the progress of coronavirus spread in the country. '

'The ventilator prototype was designed and produced in just seven days, after the project spun up on Facebook and attracted participation from over 300 engineers, medical professionals and researchers. '

'The group behind the ventilator also recently changed the focus of their Facebook community, renaming the group from the Open Source Ventilator Project to the Open Source COVID19 Medical Supplies community. '

'The prototype will now enter into a validation process by the Irish Health Services Executive (HSE), the country’s health regulatory body. '

' They’re looking at expanding their focus to finding ways to cheaply and effectively build and validate other needed equipment, including protective gear like masks, sanitizer and protective face guards for front-line healthcare workers. '
