Our ONEVENT movement is moving along but not without challenges, we are exhausting our personal funds to source better materials, equipment and clinical trials to finally get FDA approval for before we can start mass production. We are utilizing every personal resource we have to make emergency ventilators available in every district hospital and Rural Health Units in our province.

We would like to invite you to join our movement to provide ventilators that will not only be useful for this pandemic but for other respiratory illnesses especially in marginalised areas of our province. Our team is currently underfunded and we are welcoming fellow Negrenses and countrymen to rally behind our cause by helping us financially through their own capacity. Any amount will be appreciated to cover the costs that we have to endure on a daily basis.

Your help will not go unnoticed as we will be very glad to post our donors in our website for transparency unless confidentiality is requested.

We fervently hope that you can join us in this endeavour and together we can make a difference in our province.

Yours truly,

Mike Alano
ONEVENT Project Coordinator

Carlos Romarate
ONEVENT Head of Operations

ONEVENT Head of Design

ONE VENT (Oriental Negros Emergency Ventilator) is a local movement by a team of architects, doctors, engineers and designers from Negros Oriental. On the first week of April 2020, we saw that in the event of an outbreak, our hospitals lack the necessary ventilators. We banded up local talents in the province and came up with a ventilator design using locally available materials.
Today we want to share to you all that we are currently nearing our goal, which is to automate a manual resuscitator as a potential means for longer-term ventilation.
OneVent can provide our doctors and respiratory clinicians the option to use these emergency ventilators that does the basic functions of medical grade ventilators once our local hospitals has used up all the available ventilators and the only option is manual bagging a patient.
All hospitals have manual resuscitators (BVM) that are available in the event of an emergency where healthcare workers maintain oxygenation by squeezing the bag. Automating this appears to be the simplest strategy that satisfies the need for low-cost mechanical ventilation, with the ability to be rapidly manufactured in large quantities. The use of a bag-valve mask (BVM) in emergency situations is not a new concept. A portable ventilator utilizing a manual resuscitator was introduced in 2010 by a student team in MIT and many other universities followed suit.
Our local team will soon go to clinical trials and when our consulting doctors will give the go signal there will be a need to scale-up to manufacture, we anticipate that there will be challenges and we will do our best to publish relevant information that may benefit the community and hopefully the country.
We invite anyone who is interested to follow our work or share to anyone who could potentially benefit from this collaboration.

Please like and share to let people know of our initiative.
