The Research Institute for Solar Energy and New Energies (IRESEN) announced that the pre-series of the Moroccan artificial ventilator iVENT have been finalized and that clinical tests were started this week by Moroccan researchers.
The fruitful collaboration of the team of Moroccan researchers from IRESEN, Green Energy Park, ENSET of Mohammed V University, ESSTI and startups eDEEP / eSMART, has made it possible to achieve in record time a reliable and affordable equipment, with more than 80% locally manufactured components, which will support the sanitary device, said the Institute in a statement.
The final version of the artificial ventilator integrates an electronic card developed by the team allowing all the functionalities required by health professionals, stressed the same source, noting that these are the 4 ventilation modes enabling controlled ventilation and spontaneous ventilation for patient inspiration assistance, namely controlled assisted ventilation (VCV), intermittent controlled assisted volume (VCV-I), spontaneous ventilation (SV) and apnea rescue allowing automatic switchover to VCV-I.
The equipment also includes a whole set of sensors to detect leaks or abnormalities and is perfectly adapted to the needs of patients suffering from respiratory insufficiency, the Institute stressed.
While awaiting the start of approval procedures, the researchers have integrated industrial and financial partners to prepare the production of the ventilators and have also formed partnerships with sub-Saharan countries in order to support them in the development of capacities and the transfer of know-how, the statement concluded.
