Dynamatic Medical™ is a division of Dynamatic Technologies Limited, is involved in the Design,
Manufacture and Supply of Medical Devices and kits for various Medical Applications.
In early 2020 the world faced it’s first pandemic in a century. India, with a large rural population
faced an especially challenging period with regard to medical infrastructure. We were concerned
about how our country would cope with a large number of coronavirus patients, who needed critical
care.
In mid-March 2020, with the risk of Corona pandemic looming large at us and entire nation forced in to
a sudden lockdown as a preventive measure, we formed a cross functional team comprising of
doctors, scientists, engineers and micro-biologist to develop potential solutions which could help us, as
a nation, to combat the situation. One of the projects taken up was to design and build a low cost
ventilator, which is easy to use, with no electronics, extremely light weight and reliable with minimal
supervision.
Quite apart from a lack of mechanical ventilators/resuscitators, large parts of rural India do not have
trained medical staff, or even electricity. So from the beginning, our mission has been to develop a
low-cost scalable solution, that can run directly off an oxygen tank, much like what is used by
mountain climbers, divers and fighter pilots, to make medical care affordable for the common man.
Our best engineers along with doctors and scientists worked long hours through the lockdown on
developing the concept. The product took shape from the drawing board to 3D printed prototypes in
quick time.
After extensive testing we developed tooling for mass production with an entire supply-chain
ecosystem within a few kilometres from our facility. Our focus has been scalability, should there be a
sudden surge in demand.
All parts are made from medical-grade material. The product is CDCSO approved and ISO 13485
compliant. Endurance testing compliant to ISO 10651 has been successfully completed with zero
defect.
