... not if you have COVID-19.

Because both CPAP and VPAP will absolutely spray the virus everywhere and probably infect care staff.

But VPAP is a lot better than CPAP if you need a ventilator and don't have anything infectious in your lungs, so... lowest passing grade for Musky Boy!

why not just modify them so they don’t spray the deadly virus all over? like, tape a mask over the outflow or something.

Can't tell by looks, since ResMed makes so many devices with the same mold.

Oi, they are probably actual ventilators. And not Chinese, overwhelmingly likely Australian.

The wrong kind of ventilators, but ventilators.

Stereotype posted:

That would first require masks with suitable valves, and then figure out how you make the device function with the filters and make sure it doesn't choke the patient and then mass manufacturing the valve replacements. It could be done... but making the right kind of ventilators isn't that big a step from modifying these devices, doubly so if you'd be manufacturing these devices from base components instead of just retrofitting them. There aren't that many non-invasive ventilators in warehouses either.

It's just taking a super complicated route to an outcome you could better accomplish by using existing solutions. So, expect Elon Musk to do that next.

it's a very similar mold, but look at the difference between their noninvasive ventilator:


and what they actually have:

all the VPAP COPD ones have a small extra section between the H5i humidifier and the main device for the alarm. you can also see the text for the VPAP-COPD machines say VPAP-COPD, and whatever is written above the power button there is shorter in length.

Could be the VPAP Auto, which oughta function the same operated by a skilled pilot.

I'm not defending Musk by giving him the exact amount of credit he deserves. He got the wrong tool for the job, but he didn't say he was going to get the right tool.

if we do everything perfect from now on (which we have been very strongly) and nobody that's not infected at this very second gets the virus (which they wont) we will only have a quarter million dead and they were gonna die anyway and it's just the flu BACK TO WORK SLAVE
