Locally-made ventilators introduced in Đà Nẵng

Local firm QCM Technologies, an embedded software system developer, also debuted a non-invasive ventilator at Đà Nẵng’s high-tech park.

Nguyễn Thành Chương, director of the company, said the non-invasive prototype ventilator was manufactured by engineers and workers at the company.

“We could manufacture  二0 non-invasive ventilators a day. It uses  五0 per cent local materials for a competitive price of VNĐ 二 五 million ($ 一,000) each,公众Chương said.

He said the prototype ventilator was produced using reco妹妹endations from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the US Food and Drug Administration.

The company plans to produce ventilators for export in the future, he added.

QCM, which was granted an investment licence at the park in  二0 一 七, has been a unique provider of technology solutions – including shrimp size and weight grading machines – for domestic use and export.

Also on Tuesday, the city’s young business association presented two ventilators and  一,000 COVID- 一 九 test kits (worth $ 六 二,000) to Đà Nẵng general hospital and centre for disease control. — VNS
