About us

The Coronavirus emergency

Oxygen generators are required in the treatment of COVID-19 patients, where
oxygen therapy is recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) with
owrates of 10 – 60 l / min. (starting at 10 l / min and increasing ow rate with
worsening of disease).

The handbook of COVID-19 Prevention and Treatment (The First A liated

Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine) recommends “oxygen therapy
as soon as possible”, either in the form of High- ow nasal cannula (HFNC)
oxygen therapy, or tracheal intubations (for stable patients with low
oxygenation index). Consequently, any oxygen generator added to a COVID-19
treatment setting allows an earlier oxygen therapy for patients, and prevents
the selective application of oxygen therapy for patients with good prognosis. To
facilitate this we will generate plans to construct oxygen generators in relatively
simple environments using common materials.
