Small Scale Ventilator

Embedded SystemsMedical Devices, Critical Care, Emergency Healthcare

Overview

A compact, affordable ventilator system designed for emergency care units and temporary medical facilities. Uses embedded technology to monitor oxygen levels and temperature while precisely controlling oxygen delivery via automated Ambu bag compression.

Key Features & Capabilities

Controlled oxygen delivery using Ambu bag mechanism
Stepper motor-based precise pumping control
Monitoring of oxygen level and temperature
Adjustable breathing parameters based on patient needs
Compact and portable embedded design
Low-cost and easy-to-deploy solution

Challenge / Problem Statement

During medical emergencies and high patient load situations, access to full-featured ventilators is limited due to cost, availability, and infrastructure constraints. A small-scale, cost-effective ventilator was needed for controlled oxygen delivery while monitoring key patient parameters.

Oxymora Solution

Oxymora designed a Small Scale Ventilator System using embedded technology to monitor oxygen levels and temperature while precisely controlling oxygen delivery. The system automates the compression of an Ambu bag using a stepper motor, allowing accurate control of breathing cycles based on patient requirements.
