Kochi-based startup innovates compact COVID-specific ventilator

The ventilator has been named Jeeva Vayu-50, or JV-50.
At a time when reports are rife about a spike in the number of COVID-19 patients needing ventilator support and ICU care, a Kochi-based startup has started commercial production of a cost effective and compact Covid-specific ventilator at the Technology Business Incubator (TBI) of the Kalady-based Adi Shankara Institute of Engineering and Technology.
The ventilator has been named Jeeva Vayu-50, or JV-50.
Having turned its focus to biomedical products during the first wave of the pandemic, the startup, Machbee Innovations Private Limited, has since developed three variants of the ventilator, each a refined version of the previous one. While they had multiple partners in the beginning, the latest redesigned version was developed solely by the startup.
