The outbreak of the Covid-19 virus has pushed the government to work around the clock to ensure that the country is equipped and has access to essential resources during this pandemic.

Scientists have been working on a vaccine to fight the Covid-19 virus and now a team of engineers and health care specialists from the University of Johannesburg led by engineers Dr Deon Sabatta and Dr Samson Masebinu have created a prototype for a low-cost ventilator in their fight against the deadly Covid-19.

“Our product includes devices such as pressure sensors, flow sensors, and a number of control algorithms. It can, therefore, be set up to perform more advanced ventilation tasks such as pressure support ventilation (PSV) or synchronous intermittent mandatory ventilation (SIMV)”, Dr Deon Sabatta said.
