Amid the lack of mechanical ventilators to serve hospitals during the pandemic, a small industry in Espírito Santo became an alternative. It produces a respirator manually, which has no electronic components, but is capable of offering the same functionality as imported respirators.
The State Department of Health has already ordered approximately 135 pieces of equipment, and a partnership with an industry in São Paulo will increase production capacity, which is now 200 respirators, to 2,000 devices per month.
The industry has existed for 31 years and is not automated. The entire manufacturing process is manual and the technology is completely Brazilian, developed by the anesthesiologist Humberto Do Val. With the new coronavirus pandemic, production increased from 40 to 200 mechanical ventilators per month.
The product is not of the latest generation, but thanks to the inventor’s ingenuity, it works perfectly and is available on the market, without depending on any other country.
According to Eduardo Do Val, company administrator and son of the inventor, the small production line became a light at the end of the hospital tunnel in the fight against covid 19.
“As the technology of this equipment is completely Brazilian and in its composition uses parts that are manufactured by the national industry, this technology gives the industry the opportunity to produce a fan at the time that the other companies, which use imported inputs, do not you can import this material “he said.
