OXYGEN

OxyGEN is an open hardware project to build an emergency mechanism that automates an AMBU type manual ventilator in extreme shortage situations such as the one caused by a coronavirus (COVID-19) in some parts of the world. It was developed by a group of professionals led by the company Protofy.xyz, with the scientific support of the Hospital Clínic, Hospital Germans Trias i Pujol, and the UB of Barcelona. There are 2 different versions of OxyGEN. The maker version OxyGEN-M and the industrial version OxyGEN-IP. OxyGEN-M is designed for makers and can be built using common tools and no special machinery or materials are needed. OxyGEN-IP is the version for industrial-scale production. Foldforming metalworking machinery and engineering knowledge is needed to build OxyGEN-IP. ​
