- Title: 278 AT COVID-19 New ventilator
- Date: 8th May 2020
- Description:New emergency ventilator machine presented today in Austria In the acute phase of the coronavirus crisis a company from Styria started developing a medical ventilator in cooperation with the Medical University of Graz. It was presented to the public on Friday. The special mechanical engineering company “Hage” wanted to make a contribution in the battle against COVID-19 and started its work at the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis, when the fear was pervasive whether enough ventilators would be available in the intensive care units. The Medical University of Graz contributed the medical know-how for the product development. The development went so quickly because the parts of the prototypes were produced in a 3-D printer. The device is intended for emergencies, because several thousand pieces can be made from easily available industrial parts in a few days, and moreover the emergency devices cost only a fraction of the full-value devices.

And you have to teach the machine how to control such a ventilation process so that the patient is not harmed.” - VS Dummy being ventilated - VS Emergency ventilator machine with lettering “Hage” and “Med Uni Graz” - SOUNDBITE (German) Stefan Hampel, CEO special mechanical engineering company HAGE: “We have thought about what we can contribute as a special machine builder. At the time, the subject of ventilators was very hyped. And we said: This is something that also interests and challenges us technologically. We want to take part.” - VS “Hage” 3D respirator - VS Development at company “Hage” - C/U Dummy being ventilated - VS Hampel at a presentation of emergency ventilator
