Thank you!</strong></p> <p><span><span><span style="color:black">The Mechanical Ventilator Milano (MVM) is a novel mechanical ventilator designed for rapid mass production in response to the Covid pandemic to address the shortage of intensive care ventilators in many countries, and the difficulty in procuring these devices through normal supply chains across borders.&nbsp;</span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span style="color:black">This ventilator is an electro-mechanical equivalent of the old and reliable Manley Ventilator, and is able to operate in both pressure-controlled and pressure-supported ventilation modes. &nbsp;</span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span style="color:black">MVM is optimized for the COVID-19 emergency, thanks to the collaboration with medical doctors on the front line. MVM is designed for large-scale production in a short amount of time and at a limited cost. &nbsp;</span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span style="color:black">Operation of the MVM requires a source of compressed oxygen and medical air, that &nbsp; are &nbsp; readily available in intensive care units.&nbsp;</span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span style="color:black">The MVM is certified for emergency use during the COVID pandemic by the Food and Drug Administration, USA.</span></span></span></p> <p><a href="https://mvm.care/">https://mvm.care/</a></p> <p>Please click the link below to join the webinar:&nbsp;<br /> <a href="https://cern.zoom.us/j/92609333222?pwd=RUNyWndaNGpMeCtNVXB4a3VyTDVUUT09">https://cern.zoom.us/j/92609333222?pwd=RUNyWndaNGpMeCtNVXB4a3VyTDVUUT09</a><br /> Password: MVM<br /> &nbsp;</p> <p>If you have any questions during the webinar please don't hesitate to type them in the Q and A box.&nbsp;They will be answered after the speaker has finished the talk.
