Low resource Ambu-Bag ventilator

This project was jumpstarted by the COVID-19 global pandemic as a result of community
discussion on a facebook group called Open Source COVID19 I created this GitLab project.
More specifically in a discussion surrounding low cost AmbuBag based emergency
respirators wherein prior solutions had been developed. The first from an MIT research
group comprising of the following persons (Abdul Mohsen Al Husseini1, Heon Ju Lee1,
Justin Negrete, Stephen Powelson, Amelia Servi, Alexander Slocum and Jussi Saukkonen).
The second device from a Rice University Mechanical Engineering student group comprising
of the following persons (Madison Nasteff, Carolina De Santiago, Aravind Sundaramraj,
Natalie Dickman, Tim Nonet and Karen Vasquez Ruiz. Photo by Jeff Fitlow). This project
seeks to combine and improve the efforts of these two projects into a more simple and
reliable device that consists mostly of 3D printed parts.

Reasons for using an Ambu-Bag

● Mass Produced
● Certified components
● Small and Simple mechanical requirements
● Previous research and testing in this area
● Adaptable to both invasive tubing and masks
