Thank you for your work. But, this is just a hand protection for the Ambu bag. To ventilate people with pneumonia, you need a more delicate work of the respirator, different type of air supply, Peep. I'm not talking about monitoring ventilation - it is necessary if the patient is ventilated for many days. In addition, you need a good humidification of the air mixture.
Nikulin Alex do you have any actual stats you can share. There are people dying because of the lack of available ventilators. I know it will not replace a $30,000 unit, but it it saves a single life, is it not worth it?
Hey, so I was remaking this machine and I came across an issue with the motor arm. When it presses down on the BVM Bag it doesn’t come back up properly. The motor will just continue to press down on the bag. I am using a acyclic motor arm but I think it’s something else that’s giving it an issue. I would love to get some help on troubleshooting this problem. Have a great day and thanks in advance.
Pulmonologist doctors requires AC mode or assist mode in this type of low cost ventilators wherein it has respond with the breath of the covid patient. There should be a trigger signal from the patient otherwise the rhythm of the breath will not be in sync and may cause further health issues. We made one already and this is our problem now.
Thanks for your message. I plan to create an assistive mode soon. Interesting that you have done this already, do you have any details of your project that I can view? The problem I have with creating an assistive breathing mode is that there is no test for measuring the success of it in the MHRA document
I am fairly sure that you are considering a cutout (if needed a gate) such that you just drop in the Bag and also quickly remove it for manual handling ...rather than fiddle it in ... just saying . Very nice work so far. Cheers bro.
Hi, kindly recommend, Fail-Safe operation - If the machine fails, a clinician must be able to immediately shut down, open the device manually, remove the bag and convert to manual bagging.
JOHAN PINZON PARDO exactly, the ones I have seen (that are going for full approval) have bio feedback systems and dual control systems built in. Any failure of the control circuit, a simple switch changes over to a new duplicate circuit in less than a second, the faulty circuit can be replaced with zero interruption of operation.
Hi, have you tried the design with a test lung? Generally you'll get more load on the motor hence proportional increase in current depending on load increase. This may change the calibration of settings in your code. Also'll need a pressure safety release valve.
datta naik thabks for your comment. I am using a test lung of sort (I can’t get access to a proper test lung so I’m using the expansion balloon from a waters circuit). Over pressure valves which are compatible with BVMs already exist, so it should just be a case to add one of those I think
Great development, Darren! It is designed in the simple way so people can re-produce it, which is very critical for that purpose. If you allow me, I would suggest you to attache a potentiometer to the geared motor shaft as shaft angle sensor so you can better control the airflow. Your control system looks a bit complicated; you could suggest is based on H-bridge (which is relatively simple and people may find H-bridge chip in their local component stores), and all your control knobs/potentiometers directly connected to arduino. This way more people can re-produce the ventilator. Keep this good job up! I wish you great success! P.S. one more question: how are you going to modify it to connect your pressure module?
Thanks for sharing your idea. I did think about the POT Vs the current sensor, but went for the current sensor in the end to save on extra mechanical parts and seeing as the current sensor is included in the standard motor driver shield. I am planning to include a pressure sensor to maintain the correct pressure and sense failure.
Appreciate your excellent no-frills design, which is what is needed at the moment for a low cost model. Couple of questions- since your geared motor seems to be working open loop- in one direction you limit it by sensing the current flow through the motor. How is it returning back to the start position without feedback? Secondly how did you select this geared motor, any particular parameters relating to the torque or compression needed in this application; also what is the probably lifetime of this motor, especially if its put into strenuous use at say 30 compressions per minute?
Dear Darren, I couldn't find the DJ Shield anywhere in my city. Is there any alternative ! Can I use normal potentiometers or controllers instead of the DJ Shield ? Please please help me. I will be extremely grateful for your help 💙💙💙💙💙
I have the worst luck in the world 😑 .. I ordered a DC motor like yours, but a stepper motor was sent to me ..! I do not know how to program it ! Can I find a code for stepper motor ? Please bro Darren, help me 😓💙 I spent a lot of money, I want to succeed in my project. I hope that you will help me Mr. Darren.💙
Hi Darren. You have definitely done your research. The peep valve is an excellent idea and I like how your motor assembly is attached to the housing. I am working a system that would ideally work with your system to trigger the ventilator based on an assist control mode. That would reduce the risk of barotrauma. Great work!

can i replace the dc motor with a stepper motor
