“As coronavirus affects pulmonary functions, hence, to cater for this futuristic requirement, the DRDOs SBMT programme was modified with the available vendor with DEBEL, Bangalore (a DRDO lab) and critical care ventilator was created by using existing technologies like breath regulators, pressure/flow sensors.
“Presently, innovation is on to create ‘multi-patient ventilator’ wherein several patients can be supported by a single ventilator. This innovation is expected to be available within one week,” the official said.
The N99 masks are five-layer masks with two layers of nano mesh.
These are one of the critical times to stop the spread of the virus, officials said.
A bodysuit is a critical requirement for doctors; medical staff, sanitation workers so that they are not contacted by the virus during their work, the DRDO official said.
Earlier, the DRDO has developed this bodysuit for medical and paramedical staff to manage and evacuate the casualties in the event of radiological emergencies, which right now is converted as a full bodysuit to stop contamination through coronavirus.
The suit is washable and has passed the ASTM standards.
The suit is widely tested by the DRDO and other agencies and found suitable for the cause, the officials said.
