Prof. Deepak Creates “VIRAT” © – The World’s First Pocket sized ventilator

There are multiple ventilator dependent patients in the world. They need Vent Support and that costs a fortune.Operating a ventilator needs tremendous technical expertise.
The All India Institute of Medical Sciences has multiple vent dependent patients in the Department of Neurosurgery.

Currently the cheapest portable ventilators cost from 10, 000 USD upwards. Vent Demand is increasing by the day and there is always a shortage of ventilators across the world.Imagine what would happen when a disaster strikes.

INDUSEM Technology Chief and Professor at AIIMS Neurosurgery Dr. Deepak Agrawal worked with Robotics Researcher Mr. Diwaker Vaish to create VIRAT – The World’s First Pocket Size Ventilator.

VIRAT© Means “Ventilating Integrated Respirations via Assisted Technology”

VIRAT© has the Following features :

Synchronized with patients breathing (SIMV)
Capability to run from room air (21% Fio2) as well as from regular oxygen supply
Android phone based control of all functions and settings
Integrated with pulse oximeter to give real time feedback and optimization of settings
Can be operated by relatives at home after minimal training

We anticipate the cost of VIRAT©to be less than Rs 20, 000 for the patients which is 1/20th the cost of basic ventilators in the market said Prof Agrawal.

“VIRAT© is the Milestone in the Innovation Pathway of INDUSEM and we are very proud of Deepak. He is the architect of the Electronic Medical Records Revolution in India and now he has delivered VIRAT©. INDUSEM congratulates this great leader” said INDUSEM CEO Dr. Sagar Galwankar.
