How Rapid Medical Parts built a ventilator-parts company over Zoom - Business Insider

has prompted many companies and individuals to pivot their businesses or start new companies to help those in need.

The company's 15-person team is spread out across the US and has never met in person — they've built the entire company over Zoom. Regenor, a former Air Force colonel, was in Boston when the virus hit, participating in Techstars' Air Force accelerator for a manufacturing-focused startup he launched last year. When Boston went into lockdown, Regenor headed back to his current hometown near Buffalo, New York. He decided to start a new company when he noticed that hospitals were maxing out their equipment during the outbreak.

It's different from other devices that convert CPAP machines, he said, because it's able to adjust the pressure provided by the device. That means the machine will work on mild COVID-19 cases as well as more severe cases where the patient needs to be intubated. In theory, EVS-4 would provide an alternative to standard ventilators, which can cost around $20,000.

Once Rapid Medical Parts gets up an running, Regenor said he expects to be able to make 400 to 600 kits a day, resulting in thousands per week. The plan is to manufacture the devices at several locations, but Regenor said the process is "supply-chain dependent," which has become strained during the lockdown. If parts become scarce, the company plans to convert to some 3D-printed parts instead, he said.

This is awesome!

It could, theoretically, if ever there was in fact a shortage of ventilators...
