A release from medical equipment company Medtronic:
OUR VENTILATOR SPECIFICATIONS.
YOUR INGENUITY.
Medtronic is mobilizing to fight the COVID-19 pandemic — and we’re inviting innovators everywhere to join us. Currently, there is a shortage of respirators and ventilators around the world. As recently announced, Medtronic is responding to this crisis by making the design files for the PB560 ventilator system available to the public. Our hope is that manufacturers and engineers will use this intellectual property to inspire their own potentially lifesaving innovations.
To access the specifications, please register below. After you do, you will be redirected to a new page on medtronic.com to download the files. Note that all documents and guidance are subject to the provisions and restrictions contained within the assets being provided.
Thank you for your interest in using innovation to save lives. Together, we can help speed the development and production of this important technology.
So now, other companies like GE and the automotive manufacturers wanting to make ventilators can just copy this proven and approved design. Great move Medtronic!
