ClipVent

Inspiration

We were inspired by an existing FDA approved automatic resuscitator device that was very simple but had mediocre manufacturability and lacked independent PEEP adjustment.

What it does

ClipVent is a pressure cycled ventilation device that operates in pressure control or pressure support mode. ClipVent also incorporates independent PEEP pressure adjustment and features extremely simple injection mold tooling design.

How I built it

Design of ClipVent was carried out using the OnShape online CAD design tool, and prototyped using Formlabs 3D printers.

Challenges I ran into

There are a couple of components that are challenging to prototype in-house on a limited budget. After several iterations we were able to produce functional components.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

We have demonstrated a working prototype and are in discussions with potential distributors.

What's next for ClipVent

We are seeking funding to complete development of ClipVent and bring the device to market.
