Known as the OyxGEN, the new ventilator – powered by a windscreen wiper motor – is currently being produced at a repurposed assembly line of Spanish carmaker SEAT, which is running off around 100 units per day at its Martorell facility in Catalonia. When the force of the epidemic hit home in Spain in the second week of March, the country had barely two firms producing ventilators which offer life-saving support to virus patients suffering pneumonia, an infection that cripples lung function.Most standard ventilators can take over all of a patient's breathing function when they can't manage on their own. When their lungs have recovered somewhat, they help them breathe"on demand".
There are currently 42 hospitals which have put in orders for the new ventilator, which is made up of 119 parts supplied by the carmaker and its regular electronic parts suppliers.
