Belkin Launches Emergency Ventilator

Los Angeles-based consumer electronics giant Belkin says it is working with the University of Illinois, to make available an emergency ventilator, which was designed in conjunction with the University of Illinois. According to Belkin, the FlexVent Gas-Operated Ventilator is pending the review and approavl of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). According to Belkin, the FlexVent will be used as a single-use, emergency ventilator that can provide constant-flow, pressure-cycled ventilation automatically to patients in respiratory distress. Belkin said the company's merger with Foxconn Interconnect Technology (FIT) in 2018 gives it access to "powerful and capable" manufacturing assets.
