The FlashCut team worked with a Chicago Area hospital group to develop a sorely needed ventilator alternative to help Covid-19 patients. Our team, with the help of our amazing business partners and pulmonary physicians went into quick action and had a full working prototype with software, electronics and hardware within 2 weeks. The design was initially inspired by the MIT ventilator project and has transformed into a production model for a new medical device company – Bag Valve Automation. It will be delivered to the first hospital in late June 2020 for testing in their pulmonary lab.
