UK company makes about-turn and agrees to help SA with ventilators

UK-based company Penlon has revised its decision not to assist a group of local businessmen, doctors and engineers who have been working to reverse engineer an old mechanical ventilator it first made nearly 40 years ago.

The company simply did not have resources to spend time digging out the technical specifications and drawings Corbett had requested from them, Penlon said. The SAEVP decided to focus on the Nuffield 200 because it is entirely mechanical. It has no electronic components, is portable and does not require electricity to operate.

Nonsense

Deep down. I know we can make our own. Up,Wits,UCT, CSIR and Denel can come up with a working concept.

Bet we are being overcharged.

I just wonder what they want in return?
