Alabama Public Television’s “Spotlight on Agriculture” documentary series recently devoted an entire hour-long episode to a unique Auburn engineering project that continues to make headlines across the country.
Production begins on the RE-InVENT, an innovative accessory that converts CPAP machines into emergency ventilators that was developed to mitigate possible ventilator shortages across the country.
Get the story behind the story of an incredible Auburn innovation born in the age of social distancing, but inspired by belief in the human touch.
As life-saving ventilators grow scarcer worldwide in the fight against COVID-19, an Auburn University research team is racing against the clock to get a device they’ve built into mass production. The innovative unit—which turns a CPAP machine into an emergency ventilator—was successfully tested on a live goat last Friday.
A team of Auburn engineers has developed a way to quickly and inexpensively convert CPAP machines into ventilators, one of the most important tools hospitals have for helping COVID-19 patients.
