The government is looking for businesses who can support in the supply of ventilators and ventilator components across the UK as part of the response to coronavirus (COVID-19). This guidance is a specification of the minimally clinically acceptable ventilator, along with some preferred options, to be used in UK hospitals during the current coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. It sets out the clinical requirements based on the consensus of what is ‘minimally acceptable’ performance in the opinion of anaesthesia and intensive care medicine professionals and medical device regulators.
