Caption

A massive international team led by Princeton's Cristian Galbiati worked to design, test and finalize the Mechanical Ventilator Milano (MVM), a low-cost ventilator designed to ease device shortages caused by COVID-19. With FDA approval secured, production has begun and the first 20 ventilators are already on their way to hospitals. Full production starts this week, with an expected initial manufacturing rate of 50 ventilators per day.
