Fermilab physicists go outside comfort zone to help design low-cost ventilator to fight COVID-19

    From Chicago Tribune, May 5, 2020: In the middle of a global health emergency, scientists at Fermilab found they had a lot to offer the effort to meet demand for ventilators to treat COVID-19 patients. Fermilab scientist Stephen Brice helps explain how the group, working with colleagues outside the U.S., designed a portable, low-cost ventilator that still is capable of the most precise functions that bulkier, costlier machines provide.

    From particle physics to hospitals: The U.S. FDA authorizes the Mechanical Ventilator Milano within the scope of the emergency use authorization for COVID-19 ventilators

      From MVM collaboration, May 5, 2020: The Mechanical Ventilator Milano is an innovative ventilator, conceived and designed by an international collaboration of particle physicists and developed in cooperation with other relevant scientific communities. Its mechanical design is simple, using a small number of parts to facilitate rapid production. Fermilab scientists volunteered their time to design, test and finalize the MVM.
