The F1 champion has teamed up with engineers and medical teams from the University of London to develop a CPAP machine that can deliver oxygen to patients’ lungs without a ventilator, according to BBC News. .

The fact that CPAP has been used in hospitals is a hot spot in the COVID-19 epidemic in China and Italy but the demand for this device is increasing ever more, resulting in insufficient supply.

The F1 Mercedes device has been approved by the National Health Service of the United Kingdom, NHS, to limit COVID-19 infection and support more effective patient treatment. At present, the company has delivered the first 40 devices and will start to assemble in large scale with the number up to 1,000 units / day from next week.

CPAP is a “neutral” device between normal oxygen filter masks (only filters, users have to use their own breath) with modern ventilators. CPAP will help keep oxygen flowing into patient’s mouth and nose continuously through appropriate pressure to help them breathe more easily, especially in severe cases when victim’s lungs have been damaged by SARS-CoV- 2.

To achieve the required pressure, CPAP requires the use of a sealed mask structure connected to the air flow generator and suitable pressure. In contrast to conventional ventilators that require close monitoring by a team of physicians, CPAP only requires checking to see if there are any openings in the area to avoid pathogens carrying disease.

The results obtained from CPAP are generally very good in the world. For example, in a hospital in the center of Lombardy, Italy, more than 2,000 patients use the device (meaning that the condition is moderate – tends to get worse) and more than 50% of them do not need help.
