A Nigerian, Leke Ojikutu has built a ventilator from materials sourced locally and is suitable for ICU and serious cases of covid19.

It's automated, with the following features:
1. Computerised microprocessor controlled
2. Deliver breaths to a patient who is physically unable to breathe, or breathing insufficiently.
3. It's Rechargeable. Powered by battery and electricity.
4. Electronically controlled by a small embedded system to allow exact adaptation of flow characteristics to an individual patient's needs.
5. Mass producible in hundreds within days
6. Utilises parts which can be sourced locally
7. Can be modified to be powerful enough to make 1 ventilator serve 10 to 20 patients.

Nigerians are gifted and talented, but, there is always a but... If you know you know

Worthy of commendation! I salute his creativity and I think the government should scout for and harness folks like these who might not have a big budget to fund their innovations but are ingenious enough to make do with easily accessible materials.

Nice development. Shows we can solve or own challenges as Nigerians. If someone can do this despite the lockdown and inability to access materials, then he needs Govt's full support instead of begging Elon Musk for ventilators. This is the only local ventilator concept I've seen with a digital control. Imagine what this can be turneed to with the right funding.
Thumbs up.
Make we dey watch till Ghana or South Africa go snatch this one too from us.

bravo, my nigga

We have to give credit to where it’s due
This is a brilliant job
