Open Breath project aims at the development and production of a scalable low-cost lung ventilator. Open Breath lung ventilator presents an innovative design, conceived to be quickly realized with off-the-shelflow-cost hardware components.
- Innovative design based on the automatization of a bag-valve-mask (BVM)
- Quickly producible with "off-the-shelf" parts
- Extremely low cost
- Both invasive and non-invasive assisted ventilation: PEEP, SIMV, CPAP modes
- Aims at compliance with the BS EN 80601-2-12:2020 standard
- Connected device and live interface:
- Sensors: pressure, flowrate
- Provides blood oxygenation rate and heart rate (nice to have)
- Will send alerts and updates in real-time directly to healthcare professionals
- We invite anyone who is interested to follow this work.
The device is currently under development, a first metal prototype has been realized.

| Date | Event |
|---|---|
| 01/03/2020 | Start of project in response to COVID-19 health emergency. Start on Openbreath.it |
| 20/03/2020 | Need help from a Biomed apparatus certifier. |
| 28/03/2020 | Need help from sheet metal workshop in and outside of Europe - first CAD Release Online |
| 03/04/2020 | First Metal Prototype has been realized and the testing phase has started |
For assembeling the main body of the device sheet metal must be cut with a lasercutter and folded.
