Un dispositivo médico de I+D Open Hardware, que contribuirá a salvar vidas
El trabajo de innovación de un año, compactado en 15 días gracias al trabajo colaborativo. Un cambio de paradigma para una situación de emergencia sin precedentes.
Así nace OxyGEN, un ventilador de emergencia para la crisis sanitaria del COVID-19 que ya se prepara para su producción a escala.
Un grupo de ingenieros y antiguos alumnos de ESADE integran el equipo de OxyGEN: Ignasi Plaza, Lluis Rovira, Joan Guasch, Noemí Blazquez, José Carlos Norte, Alex Fiestas, Pol Sernine, Marc Watine, Ferran Cáceres (Lic&MBA 12), Eliane Guiu (Lic&MBA 91). Además, detrás del proyecto están empresas, autónomos, particulares, instituciones, asociaciones y la comunidad de makers e ingenieros, sin todos ellos el proyecto no estaría donde está, cada vez más cerca de salvar vidas.
OxyGEN es un proyecto colaborativo para hacer frente al COVID-19 que nace en marzo de 2020. Un grupo de profesionales liderado por la empresa Protofy.xyz, una startup barcelonesa dedicada al desarrollo de prototipos con componentes tecnológicos para medianas y grandes empresas. Juntos se plantearon cómo contribuir en la lucha contra la pandemia. Investigando sobre lo que está ocurriendo en los países más avanzados en la enfermedad identificaron que uno de los problemas críticos era la falta de respiradores automáticos en los hospitales. Así, decidieron enfocarse en desarrollar un dispositivo que automatizara el proceso de ventilación manual de los pacientes con un foco, que se pudiese construir en cualquier parte del mundo.
¿Qué es y para qué sirve? OxyGEN es un dispositivo de emergencia que permite automatizar los dispositivos denominados resucitadores manuales de bolsa tipo Ambú, de manera mecanizada y autónoma, para utilizarlos como soporte a la respiración. Así mismo, permite controlar la frecuencia respiratoria, el volumen corriente y la ratio inspiración/espiración de forma constante y objetiva proporcionando al paciente un soporte que, de otra forma, no tendría. El Ambú es un dispositivo médico muy extendido, de alta disponibilidad tanto en hospitales como en ambulancias. El dispositivo se ha desarrollado con el apoyo de expertos del Hospital Germans Trias y Pujol y Hospital Clínic de Barcelona.
La visión Low cost low tech para poder ser replicada en cualquier parte del mundo y así paliar el problema de escasez de abastecimiento
El objetivo era utilizar tecnología simple disponible en cualquier lugar del mundo. Un limpiaparabrisas, un cable de alimentación de PC y un dimmer LED.
Para encontrar el motor adecuado, por ejemplo, se testaron todos los motores disponibles en un hogar; un motor de minpimer, de microondas, de un taladro, un exprimidor de naranjas y el de un limpiaparabrisas. Después de los test en el taller el motor de limpiaparabrisas resultó ser el mejor porque es capaz de girar lentamente, tiene mucho par (fuerza), una durabilidad certificada de más de 3.000 horas, el equivalente de 24h al día durante 125 días y está altamente disponible. Mientras que los otros están pensados solo para ser usados durante uno minutos de forma intermitente.

Un dispositivo médico Open Hardware una innovación y cambio de paradigma para una situación de emergencia sin precedentes
Diseñar en open hardware significa que los autores ponen a disposición de todos gratuitamente los planos y software del proyecto. La razón fundamental de esta estrategia de I+D es la rapidez en el desarrollo y la implementación de la solución un elemento crítico para luchar contra la pandemia y ayudar a salvar vidas.
Rapidez desde diferentes perspectivas:
1 - Iteración constante y rápida con los equipos médicos, para responder a la necesidad REAL. Esto ha sido clave para ir rápido, y esto ha sido el motivo de trabajar en fast-prototyiping.
2 - Cada vez que el equipo ha obtenido un prototipo viable ha liberado los planos permitiendo obtener feedbackde todas partes del mundo. Esto acelera de forma vertiginosa el proceso de optimización del prototipo ya que este es construido en otras partes del mundo y así se pueden identificar más rápidamente las mejoras a aportar a las nuevas versiones.
3 - Asegurar que la solución llegará a todos los rincones del mundo, será una solución global.
4 - Genera partners para el proyecto que de otra forma no serían accesibles.
OxyGEN ya dispone de una comunidad de más de 5.500 miembros en más de 54 países; ingenieros, makers y empresas.

¿Cuál es el status actual de proyecto?
Una vez superadas toda la pruebas clínicas y obtenidas las certificaciones IDNEO y AEMPS se iniciará la producción en masa en distintos lugares.
De momento en Cataluña Seat está finalizando la puesta a punto de su línea de producción para iniciar la fabricación a escala.
En Madrid por otro lado, también se está trabajando para poder lanzar su fabricación. A nivel internacional existen proyectos que usan el diseño de OxyGEN en todas partes del mundo en India, Israel, Sudáfrica, Suiza, Nicaragua y EEUU, entre otros. Por ejemplo en EEUU, VirginOrbit, la empresa de Richard Bradson, está utilizando OxyGEN en su desarrollo. Otro ejemplo es Ameniti en Manhattan, NY, que lo está colocando en los hoteles que se han convertido en hospitales en la gran manzana. Ambos están pendientes de realizar las adaptaciones pertinentes para poder obtener la validación de la FDA (Foods and Drugs Administration). Nuestro equipo de ingenieros está en contacto con todos ellos para darles soporte.
