Prototype is still in continuous test. The silicone ambubag seem to be able to last more than long enough :)
We have had to take care of our ordinary jobs and life in general, but the plan is for me to continue some work on this.
I feel it may come handy in poor countries, as it can be built easily in wood and/or metal in simple workshops, as well as mass produced.
The simplest version need no electronics, but for pause, trig, and alarms electronics are added.
I plan to investigate to replace the ambubag with an inner tube for wheelbarrows tyres or the like, and a simple valve maybe operated by motor position, to replace the non-rebreathing valve. Then this solution is not dependent on a manual resuscitator either :)
Another development is to replace the crank and roller with a simpler solution, when th emotor can go back and forth. Downside is that solution always need an electronic controller, but the positive side is that the mechanics is easier to produce, and can be really cheap and quick to build.
