The COVID-19 pandemic has hit the National Medical Infrastructure so hard, that the most challenging task in hand at the moment happens to be handling and managing heavy inflow of critical patients bearing a highly infectious contagion.
The primary target of the novel corona virus is the lungs of an individual. The exponential spread of the virus within the respiratory system of an Individual renders the lungs to be dysfunctional within a few hours. It is at this moment that the Medical Ventilators play a crucial role to maintain the basic parameters required to keep the patient alive. The primary function of a Ventilator is to infuse adequate Oxygen into the lungs of a critical patient and flush out Carbon-dioxide. The mechanical system developed as ventilator remain unintelligent without appropriate sensors and coded action plan. Therefore, Closed-loop monitoring system of the Mechanical Ventilators is essential to sense the breathing parameters of a critical patient and act to provide controlled delivery of the prescribed amount of tidal volume into the patient’s lungs.
To handle the prevailing situations, currently, India imports a considerable number of ventilators, to support the medical infrastructure of the country. CSIR-CMERI has, therefore, stepped forward with an Indigenous mechanical ventilator to aid in this period of crisis. In tune with the clarion call of the Prime Minister, the CSIR-CMERI developed mechanical ventilators would help India become Atma-Nirbhar or self-reliant in one of the most essential critical medical equipment.
CSIR-CMERI, Durgapur has developed a Mechanical Ventilator after innumerable feedbacks from registered Medical Professionals as greater understanding of proper functioning and usage of ventilator was essential. As a testimony, M/s Vivekananda Hospital Pvt. Ltd., Durgapur has certified that the system is suitable for emergency department, during transport, field management and in Critical Care Units. Further, a team of medical professionals from M/s Healthworld Hospitals, Durgapur has highly appreciated the indigenous mechanical ventilator of CSIR-CMERI and stated its suitability for Emergency departments, Critical Care Units and during transport/ field management outside the hospital settings. The current pandemic has forced the authorities to develop makeshift Quarantine/ Isolation wards for the COVID-19 affected patients. In such isolation wards/ small clinics/ nursing homes, the CSIR-CMERI developed Mechanical Ventilators are very much useful and provides a cost-effective solution. We believe that this technological intervention from CSIR-CMERI will play as one of the most significant medical intervention device in this current situation. These Mechanical Ventilators, in combination with relevant medications and timely intervention of Nursing/ Medical Support Staff, can be the vital deciding factor between Life & Death of a critical patient.

We are sure that the import substitutions of mechanical ventilator by the indigenous one (as that from CSIR-CMERI) might save a substantial amount of the import bill of the nation.
Import substitute is the mantra of our PM. CMERI is contributing in it
