# OxyGEN, is a device that responds to the lack of emergency respirators in the COVID-19 health crisis

OxyGEN is an open hardware prototype that has been collaboratively developed by a group of engineers led by Barcelona based company, PROTOFY.xyz. Initiated March 2020.

* OxyGEN is an automated manual AMBU type ventilator. We are currently working alongside 4 different hospitals in Barcelona, one of them being the renowned Hospital Clinic, to improve the device.


* Currently, OxyGEN is in its fifth phase of iteration, a process that will lead to obtaining an efficient and safe device for the patient.


* The OxyGEN team is collaboratively working with other projects being developed in Spain and around the world. Collaboration is critical in a crisis situation, like the current one.


* Having a version of the device that will allow mass production has forced us to create another design, more adequate to these means of fabrication, we have now two versions of OxyGEN available:


* OxyGEN-M or version “M”: easy to build for Makers, Fablabs or prototype workshops, buildable in wood or acrylic.

* OxyGEN-P or version “P” for mass production in metal, for industrial scale.

## Warning

* The correct use of a ventilator could save lives, bad use of such a device could cause the death of the patient.

* The device must be used exclusively under the supervision of qualified healthcare personnel.
