About
AmboVent is a device inspired by the bag-valve mask ventilators that paramedics use when manually ventilating patients in an ambulance. The device also provides controls for respiration rate, volume, and maximum peak pressure. AmboVent is being developed as part of a global partnership for the greater good, with an open-source code mentality and on a nonprofit basis, to enable free and simple mass production by anyone, anywhere in the world. It is designed as an automatic, controlled, alternative ventilation system for adults, for use only in emergency situations when no other approved ventilation machines are available. The AmboVent initiative is led by the Israeli Air Force (IAF) 108 electronic depot in partnership with Magen David Adom (MDA). The R&D phase was backed by a large community of innovators, including makers from First Robotics Israel (mentors and students); physicians from leading Israeli hospitals such as Tel Aviv Sourasky and Hadassah JLM as well as other medical centers; engineers from Haifa Technological Center and The Garage program by Microsoft Israel; IAF Unit 108; and others.
