According to Dr. Pawan Goenka, Managing Director, Mahindra & Mahindra, the company has started testing its ventilator before it is sent for approvals.
A video shared by Dr. Goenka, shows a working model of the ventilator. While the packaging is yet to be done it looks way less crude than the first prototype that was revealed last week.
The machine has a motorised pressuring operation and the air pumping rate can be controlled with the help of a speed control switch. A potentiometer controls the rpm of the motor. It can be adjusted using a rotary knob. The machine can provide 0-30 breathes per minute. It also has two settings to control the volume of air being pumped and an emergency stop button.
The ventilator has an additional handheld device for the patient with an emergency stop switch and a doctor's call button.
Mahindra is also looking for a name for its affordable respiratory device.
