A group of inventors in south India have come together to demonstrate a low-cost respirator they developed to help meet increasing demand as coronavirus spreads throughout the country.

The technically-skilled trio, named Ebin, Karthik and Gautam, come from Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu, and demonstrated their IPPV, or Intermittent Positive Separation Ventilator, as seen in footage from April 9.

They said the device was designed to help patients breathe artificially and to help people in times of crisis. They said that this could be done at a cost of INR 10,000 (around £100), and claim their equipment could be manufactured at a rate of one hundred units per day.

With increasing corona prevalence, young people from Kovai have designed artificial respiratory equipment for use in hospitals.

The coronavirus, which threatens the world, is also spreading rapidly in India. There is an increasing need for artificial respiratory equipment to treat patients in hospitals. The young people from Kovai have designed a low-cost synthetic breathing apparatus. Three young people, Ebin, Karthik and Gautam, from AIC Rice, Madurai, Coimbatore, have developed the IPPV, an Intermittent Positive Separation Ventilator, for reorganizing. They said the device was designed to help patients breathe artificially and to help people in times of crisis. They said that this could be done at a cost of Rs 10 thousand
around 100£ and the equipment could be manufactured by one hundred per day.
