- Description
- Request for Information - Sec to trained clinicians to minimize training time and facilitate the ventilator's safe use. �As required by the FDA and standards for medical devices, there are a number of alarms included in the device that alert a user visually and audibly if critical parameter values such as PIP, PEEP, or VT fall out of range, or if a system failure occurs such as a power failure, high airway pressure, low supply gas pressure, disconnection or the obstruction of an air-handling line. In the case of power failure, a back-up battery provides temporary power. No provisions were made for visualization of data and closed-loop feedback. These features, typical of modern ventilators, were excluded for the sake of simplifying the manufacturing process and expediting FDA approval through Emergency Use Authorization. Advantages: Manufacturing Simplicity To aid in rapid manufacturing of the device the assembly was kept simple and the components were selected based on availability. The approach allows for rapid prototyping, testing, production, and deployment into the clinical care system. The system makes use of standard ventilator accessories and controls typically available at a critical care center, including: ������������������������� 1. House or bottle of Air/O2 mix supplied ������������������������� 2. Measurement indicator of fraction of oxygen (FiO2 ) input into the device ������������������������� 3. Thermal and humidity control of inhalation gas delivered to patient ������������������������� 4. Endotracheal tubing (ET) tubing and associated fixtures, traps, viral filters ������������������������� 5. CO2 or pulse oximeter (O2) measurement sensors Potential Applications:� � � � � � � � � � � � The ventilator is intended to be one that meets the minimal requirements necessary for Emergency Use Authorization by the FDA.� Although it could be retrofitted later to include additional functionality, as it is currently planned, it will likely only be suitable for emergency use. Development Status: � The prototype has been subjected to preliminary performance and verification testing measuring the necessary PIP, PEEP, and VT commonly necessary for ARDS patients. The testing evaluates the ventilator's ability to measure and control the necessary PIP, PEEP, VT, I:E and respiratory rate. LLNL is seeking industry partners with a demonstrated ability to bring this prototype to the market. All licensing activities are conducted under policies relating to the strict nondisclosure of company proprietary information.� Please visit the IPO website at https://ipo.llnl.gov/resources for more information on working with LLNL and the industrial partnering and technology transfer process. Note:� THIS IS NOT A PROCUREMENT.� Companies interested in commercializing LLNL's Novel Emergency Response Ventilator (NERVe) should provide a written statement of interest, which includes the following: 1.�� Company Name and address. 2.�� The name, address, and telephone number of a point of contact. 3.� �A description of corporate expertise and facilities relevant to commercializing this technology. Written responses should be directed to: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Innovation and Partnerships Office P.O. Box 808, L-795 Livermore, CA� 94551-0808 Attention:� FBO 460-20 Please provide your written statement within thirty (30) days from the date this announcement is published to ensure consideration of your interest in LLNL's Novel Emergency Response Ventilator (NERVe).
