JIVAN VAYU DEVICE CREATED BY IIT ROPAR

Breathing device

Jivan vayu is a newly developed multifunctional breathing device that filter air, supply oxygen, and genetate oxygen for patient coping with breathing problems. It was developed by the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Ropar ( Punjab, India), as a substitute of CPAP machine, under "Make in India Initiative" launched by Indian prime minister for innovation. 

What is CPAP?

CPAP stands for continuous positive Airway pressure which is a machine. It is used to treat a  patients having breathing problems during sleep called sleep apnea.

  4. Viral filter ensures that air does not bring in any pathogens from the environment.
  5. Jivan vayu can deliver high flow of oxygen (20 to 60 LPM means litre per minut) while maintaining of up to 20cm H2O water pressure level.
  6. This device is designed to maintain an FiO2 of above 40% with a PEEP ( positive end expiratory pressure) of 5-20 cm Water.
  7. Cost  is less than Rs 3000 per piece.
