Information
This package was created from scratch in the last week of March 2020 to support the system and control design of the Multiple Emergency Ventilator, a 10+ bed low-cost medical ventilatrion system to address the needs of pandemic outbreaks like COVID-19, that require a sudden expansion of intensive care units and of mechanical ventilation of sedated and curarized patients.
The aim of the package is twofold:
- To assist in the design of the control strategy for the MEV system.
- To demonstrate how the Modelica language, an open standard developed by the non-profit Modelica Association, can be effective in the fast prototyping of medical devices.
The models contained in this package were run successfully tested with OpenModelica 1.16.0 and with Dymola 2020x, obtaining the same results.
