论文摘要
此处介绍的是机械呼吸机米兰(MVM)的设计,这是一种新型的机械呼吸机,旨在响应Covid-19的大流行,以解决许多国家的紧急治疗呼吸机的紧急短缺,并且越来越难以通过跨束缚的正常供应链来采购这些设备的困难。该呼吸机是旧且可靠的Manley呼吸机的电力力学,并且能够以压力控制和压力支持的通风模式运行。由于与前线医生的合作,MVM针对Covid-19紧急情况进行了优化。 MVM设计用于在短时间内以有限成本的大规模生产,因为它可以在现成的组件上传达,并且在全球范围内随时可用。 MVM的运行仅需要压缩氧(或压缩医疗空气)和电力的来源。还提供了带有呼吸模拟器的原型设备的初始测试。进一步的测试和发展正在进行中。在此阶段,MVM尚未获得认证的医疗设备,但正在进行认证。
Presented here is the design of the Mechanical Ventilator Milano (MVM), a novel mechanical ventilator designed for rapid mass production in response to the COVID-19 pandemic to address the urgent shortage of intensive therapy ventilators in many countries, and the growing difficulty in procuring these devices through normal supply chains across borders. This ventilator is an electro-mechanical equivalent of the old and reliable Manley Ventilator, and is able to operate in both pressure-controlled and pressure-supported ventilation modes. MVM is optimized for the COVID-19 emergency, thanks to the collaboration with medical doctors in the front line. MVM is designed for large-scale production in a short amount of time and at a limited cost, as it relays on off-the-shelf components, readily available worldwide. Operation of the MVM requires only a source of compressed oxygen (or compressed medical air) and electrical power. Initial tests of a prototype device with a breathing simulator are also presented. Further tests and developments are underway. At this stage the MVM is not yet a certified medical device but certification is in progress.
