VentilatorPAL

VentilatorPAL offers a solution for the acute lack of respirators for COVID-19 patients around the world.

FreeBreathing started on March 17 with the development of a ventilator that should be fast and anywhere available worldwide. A prototype was built, software and firmware were written. This led to the VentilatorPAL Open Source. Through the link you have access to these files and you have the possibility to build the the VentilatorPAL Open Source yourself.

Due to further insight, governmental regulations, medical standards and a growing demand from hospitals for a professional and certified version we have re-designed the Open Source version into an out performing device, our FRD-e. The FRD-e is an active medical device to take over the manual compression of a disposable resuscitator and is being marketed by Stogger Medical.

Our Dutch ISO compliant, low-cost solution to fight COVID-19 worldwide.

  • Low cost  -  Easy to use  -  Available

Medical professionals

VentilatorPAL Pro turns a respirator into an automated ventilator with a digital interface for setting Tidal Volume (TV), Inhale/Exhale ratio (I/E) and Respiratory Rate (RR).

Public authorities

TECHNICAL

VentilatorPAL Pro

The VentilatorPAL Pro is an initiative of FreeBreathing.org. It is a low-cost mechanical ventilator that was designed to meet the requirements of doctors at the forefront of the fight against COVID-19. It gives doctors basic, but sufficient functionality and flexibility to treat patients when more fully-fledged and complex ventilators are not available. 

VentilatorPAL Pro can mean the difference between life and death.

The VentilatorPAL Pro transforms a CPR-bag or manual resuscitator into a simple mechanical ventilator. You can set the Tidal Volume (TV), the Inhalation / Exhalation ratio (I/E), the Respiratory Rate (RR), and the Positive End-Expiratory Pressure (PEEP).

The ventilator can be controlled manually, or by using an Android app. The iPhone app is still under development.

The VentilatorPAL Pro is especially designed for hospital environments. It is made from industrial grade materials, and it is the durable, professional sister of the VentilatorPAL Open Source. 
Hugo Touw Md PhD, intensivist at Radboudumc in the Netherlands explains the simple usage of the VentilatorPAL Pro.
