UK MHRA ventilator specifications

摘要

For those interested in developing a ventilator, the UK's Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has developed a detailed set of specifications for a "Rapidly Manufactured Ventilator System". The specifications provide recommendations for ventilation functions (at least one ventilation mode and preferably two, with control of oxygen concentration), gas and electricity supply, infection control (must be cleanable), software stability, monitoring and alarm features and ease of use (must require no more than 30 minutes of instruction and pass a usability standard). Parts must be available in the UK supply chain.
