During the morning conference on Tuesday, July 14, the first highly specialized ventilators developed in Mexico were presented, whose main function is the care of patients with COVID-19 and for which the participation of the private initiative was recognized.
These were developed in a joint work between researchers and scientists from the National Council of Science and Technology (Conacyt), universities and the support of national and foreign companies.
Both creations have high standards of biomedical Chile Mobile Number List safety and engineering quality, control sensors, pressure and volume controlled ventilation, in addition to being easy to clean and the manufacturing cost of these medical devices is at least 60 percent lower, in comparison with the prices that prevail in the international market.
President Andrés Manuel López Obrador declared that this is very good news for the people of Mexico because it means that we can “be self-sufficient in this equipment that is basic.”
The Secretary of Health, Jorge Alcocer, added that this achievement was in response to the most urgent needs of the pandemic, “increasing efficiency and minimizing expenses.”
"We won national sovereignty and their names are: 'Gätsi' -sigh, in Otomí- and Ehécatl -god of the wind in Nahuatl-," he added.
These ventilators were tested on artificial lungs and biological systems.
“There are two models: Ehécatl 4T, 100% from the Mexican State, with a state patent, the other, made in collaboration with the company Dydetec,” indicated the head of Conacyt, María Elena Álvarez-Buylla, highlighting this company and Safran. Mexico as the two involved in the development of these devices.
Likewise, he explained that the operation of Ehécatl 4T is based on the use of an “ambu bag”, physically very similar to a lung; while Gätsi uses a pneumatically driven microprocessor control system.
The total investment for these fans was 259 million 891 thousand 592 pesos and it is expected to produce 500 units of each model, meaning that each of the thousand Mexican fans will have an average cost of around 260 thousand pesos.
According to the President, the ventilators “on average cost up to one million pesos, one and a half million.”
At Expok we looked for the two companies that were referred to in these developments to learn more details about their participation in this effort, however we did not receive a response.
Safrán México is a company dedicated to the manufacturing of equipment in the fields of aeronautics, space and defense.
In addition to its contribution to the creation of these ventilators, the French company has dedicated itself to the manufacturing and donation of medical supplies to hospitals throughout the Republic and pantries to the local governments of Baja California, according to information from its Twitter account . .
While Dydetec is dedicated to the design and development of software, hardware and firmware, with experience in the medical, automotive and retail sectors.
Through its social networks , this company declared: “we are proud to be part of the Ventiladores para México project. We thank and congratulate
Likewise, they posted an explanatory video about the development of the Gätsi intensive care ventilator.
