Different kind of ventilator

The Breas ventilator Z1 by Fosun Health can be used by cable-connecting it to a computer. Doctors can operate the Z1 using a PC outside the patient quarantine area, thus minimizing the risk of doctor-patient cross-infection.

With a built-in battery, the ventilator is portable, allowing the patient to walk around different departments for tests and treatment. It supports both noninvasive and invasive modes, which can be quickly switched, in case of worsening of, or improvement in, the patient's condition. More than 8,000 sets of Breas ventilators have been used in the COVID-19 fight globally.
