Damascus, SANA_The Syrian inventor Majed Brro has invented a model for a portable electronic respirator to treat patients with pulmonary insufficiency in an attempt to contribute to efforts exerted to tackle the coronavirus.
Brro, in a statement to SANA, said that the respirator is characterized by its small size so that it can be moved between hospital rooms and health centers as it can be placed in the ambulance and possessed by patients to treat emergency situations at their homes.
The Syrian inventor pointed out that the respirator, which weighs about 8 kilograms, was made by recycling damaged electric motors and can be fed by alternating or continuous electric current in addition to providing it with a charging battery. The design cost does not exceed SYP 50 thousand.
Brro called his new invention “COVID 2020”. He indicated that the respirator model is equipped with safety valves during air pumping and regulated the number of inhalation and exhalation according to the age of the patient.
He added that he submitted it to the Patent Office at the Ministry of Internal Trade and Consumer Protection to be tested by the relevant authorities
Brro is from the countryside of Damascus and works as a teacher. He got a patent last year for the educational electronically speaking devise, “Brro Sham 1”.
The Syrian inventor participated in Al-Bassel Exhibition for Creativity and Invention in 2018 with the presentation of an electronic professional educational laboratory “Brro Sham 2” and was honored by the International Association for Creativity and Humanities within the top 100 Greatest Characters competition for 2019.
