One of the VSA Oxygen Generating Systems to be shipped to India from PCI’s Riverside, California manufacturing facility
The PCI hospital-caliber oxygen generators will provide oxygen for about 300 to 800 beds and the Riverside, California-based company says they will be used at hospitals in Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Tirupati and other cities in India in the treatment of Covid-19 patients who need medical oxygen.
PCI, and its subsidiaries in India and Brazil, will be providing 300+ oxygen generators to hospitals by the end of 2021 for various countries, including India, Brazil, Peru, and the US, according to PCI.
PCI said in a statement, “India can indeed make enough medical oxygen, the problem is getting the oxygen delivered from the large production facilities, which are often far from the remote or rural areas and can take weeks to deliver.”
