Got a plan for the FDA certification?
These are pretty sophisticated devices- they have to be tuned for the individual patient, and constantly monitored and adjusted.
They go through a lot of testing before they get approved for medical use.

Seems pretty complicated. Then there's all the regulatory hoops to jump through.
If you want to jury rig something with basic function I bet you could do it with a blower and a Raspberry Pi.
Or yeah, just use a CPAP. As is, no mods. Most are technically BiPAP machines.
Here is the stumbling block.Got a plan for the FDA certification?

I didn't notice you're in Ontario, so you don't have to worry about FDA certification.What do you do when you have a loved one that is refused at the local hospital?
Right, I'm going to look strictly for an FDA approved device.
No, I'm suggesting a community sourced device that is affordable, open source.

I'm sorry, but if a loved one needs to be on a ventilator she's in acute respiratory distress, and a homemade ventilator is not going to help her. Do you know how to intubate someone, monitor lung pressures, brain oxymetry, make the necessary adjustments to the machine while monitoring vitals, etc?
It's like 5-man job.
Modern medicine, I guess. Iron lungs created a vacuum and the patient could inhale naturally. Ventilators today pressurize the lungs directly, with a tube in each lung.People used iron lungs at home, how did a new modern machine turn operating itself into a "5 MAN JOB?"

Put me in a iron lung for long.
At what point is that living and can I reach the off switch?
What would you do? The family and wife crying .
Ideally me and SWMBO die on the same day.but that never seems to work out.
In one side of my grandparents it was less than six months. The old english Cornwall couple linked at the hip.

I'm sure that true. We can keep people for a long time.Supposedly a couple people have lived in them for 60 years.
