#StopCovid19

SplitterDevice GgCV19 3D printed - Open Source Project

Our purpose as a company has always been related to making a positive impact and tackle #GlobalChallenges through #Innovation and #Technology .

Our purpose has led us to solve this problem in cooperation with Cátedra Industria 4.0 - Universitat Jaume I (Castelló - Spain) - and the Spanish community #CoronavirusMaker in an open source mode, and only recomended for extreme emergencies.

The 3D printing SplitterDevice GgCV19 has been conceived to be able to apply multiple pulmonary ventilation to patients with COVID-19, with the sole purpose of addressing in extreme situations the possible shortage of hospital pulmonary ventilation devices.

Graphenglass has high 3D printing reproducibility and we are serving the hospitals’ needs altruistically. With the shared information, other 3D printers around the planet can reproduce the devices we share.

PLA seems to work better than PETG

The COVID-19 condition/SARS-CoV-2 virus
has resulted in widespread ventilator shortages.

This device enables multiple patients to be ventilated with the one anaesthesia machine or intensive care ventilator.

Formal laboratory testing is pending. It is designed to be compatible with the international standards for 22 mm breathing circuits, Anaesthetic and respiratory equipment - Conical connectors - Part 1: Cones and sockets (ISO 5356-1:2015)

Compassionate use of non-CE marked medical devices for extreme emergency situations.

3D Printed Circuit Splitter Device for Multiple Patient Lung Ventilation HAS NOT BEEN TESTED ON A HUMAN

In exceptional cases of necessity and urgency, in the interest of protecting the health of an individual patient and in the absence of viable therapeutic alternatives, a medical device without CE marking for the proposed indication may be used for compassionate use.

The consent for the patient and the procedure illustrated below refer to the laws of the spanish state, we do not know if they are also valid abroad. It is recommended to evaluate the eventually compliance of the device to the local laws.

The authorization of the Ministry of Health and the favorable opinion of the Ethics Committee are required for the compassionate use of a device.

Authorization for the compassionate use of medical devices without CE marking for the intended purpose requested.

El proyecto «DESARROLLO DE NANOCOMPUESTO CERÁMICO CON GRAFENO» INNCAD00/18/015" se ha terminado con éxito gracias al soporte recibido por la AGÈNCIA VALENCIANA DE LA INNOVACIÓ (AVI). El proyecto recibe una subvención de 118.237 €.

Project financed by:

Agència valenciana de la innovació
Proyecto IMAPEA/2019/19 – preparación propuesta H2020 SME Instrument fase I de Graphenglass
Feder

El objetivo del proyecto es desarrollar y comercializar una nueva categoría de material compuesto llamada Compact Graphene (CG). Nuestra tecnología patentada consiste en formulaciones específicas y métodos químicos para funcionalizar compuestos de polímeros + cerámicos con una pequeña adición de grafeno para generar un material disruptivo y rentable para el sector de la construcción con alto rendimiento técnico y capacidad industrial para producir increíbles celosías 3D.

El proyecto ha contado con la ayuda de IVACE dentro del Programa “PREPARACIÓN DE PROPUESTAS A H2020 (HORIZONTE-CV)” con una ayuda en forma de subvención de 5.625,00€. Esta actuación está cofinanciada por la Unión Europea a través del Programa Operativo FEDER de la Comunitat Valenciana 2014-2020.
