iSAVE is a patient-specific ventilation expansion system that repurposes existing medical flow valves to enable a single ventilator to provide personalized respiratory support for multiple patients. This technology allows independent control of volume and pressure for each patient, effectively doubling ventilator capacity while maintaining safety and minimizing the risk of cross-contamination.

Problem
During periods of high demand, shortages of ventilators can severely limit the ability to provide adequate respiratory support for all patients in need. Traditional solutions involve acquiring more ventilators, which can be expensive and time-consuming.
Solution
The iSAVE system is a ventilator expansion device that enables a single ventilator to support multiple patients simultaneously, addressing critical care capacity bottlenecks. By repurposing existing medical flow valves, the iSAVE allows for individualized control of pressure and volume for each patient connected to the system. This approach effectively doubles ventilator capacity while maintaining patient safety and minimizing the potential for cross-contamination. The iSAVE provides a cost-effective and rapid solution to augment respiratory care capabilities during surges in demand.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes hospitals, critical care facilities, and healthcare providers facing ventilator shortages or seeking to expand their respiratory support capacity quickly and affordably.
Features
- Enables a single ventilator to support multiple patients.
- Allows independent control of volume and pressure for each patient.
- Minimizes the risk of cross-contamination between patients.
- Rapidly deployable to address immediate capacity needs.
- Cost-effective alternative to purchasing additional ventilators.
