Havana, January 22 (RHC)-- The gradual introduction of three domestically-made lung ventilators in the Cuban health system is one of the technological efforts to strengthen health services.

Spurred by the need to meet the demand for these devices in the face of the Sars-Cov-2 epidemic, the specialists involved in these projects said on television they had the collaboration of various industrial and scientific organizations and the support of medical personnel.

Less than two years after the first case of Covid-19 was diagnosed on the island, on March 11, 2020, young engineers created respirators with different features, two of which are already used in some health care centers.

In this case, there is the emergency use Pcuvente and the non-invasive Ventipap, both developed by the National Neurosciences Center (CNEURO) and whose parametric and patient tests were satisfactory.

For this reason, they were endorsed by the State Center for the Control of Medicines, Equipment and Medical Devices (CECMED). This organization kept abreast of the development of the projects, according to their managers, José Santos and Ernesto Velarde.
