Fabrication of ICU Beds for Emergency Situation

I am Sahan C. Ranasinghe (Engineer) and with the arising of this COVID-19 period in Sri Lanka I thought to give my contribution for health sector by producing this ICU Beds for Emergency Situations. I offer my sincere gratitude to SLIC for the financial assistance for initialize ICU Bed project and for patent applying process.

This ICU bed is a quick and reliable ICU bed solution, which can be made from available resources. Almost all the parts will be made from metal and below parts from Mild Steel, upperparts from stainless steel. This can be operated electrically or manually and which is a three functional bed. This ICU bed is not just a bed. It provides information about the patients. Doctors and medical staff can monitor temperature, BPM and other important body measures of the patient remotely. This can collect patient’s data into a website, mobile or central server. The collapsible side rails ensure the patient’s safety and this is consisting with special features that protect the patient’s health condition. Many countries including Sri Lanka are trying to enhance health care facilities also ICU beds against COVID-19. Because of this there is a huge requirement for ICU beds from health sector all over the world.

Again Thank you very much SLIC team for your assistance and guidance.

Low-Cost Open Source Ventilator

We are an engineering team and involving with this open Source ventilator project based on the need of health sector during this hard COVID-19 period. Our team members are Sahan C. Ranasinghe / Kosala Jayasundara / Salinda Tennakoon / Anuruddha Tennakoon / Chathura Yapa Bandara / Thusitha Samarasekara and Buddhika Marasinghe. With the initial prototype, our team contacted SLIC and they assisted us by giving financial support for the development of this Open Source Ventilator and for manufacturing process within one week.

Our invention is to develop a low cost, easy to operate and reliable ventilator based on an open source project. This Open Lung Low Resource Ventilator is a quick-deployment ventilator that utilizes a bag valve mask (BVM), also known as an Ambu-bag, as a core component. Ambu-bags are mass-produced, certified, small, mechanically simple, and adaptable to both invasive tubing and masks. The OPEN LUNG ventilator will use micro-electronics to sense and control air pressure and flow, with the goal to enable semi-autonomous operation.

Benefits of this inventions are low cost in development, mass production due to less complexity, touchpoints use certified components, small and simple mechanical requirements, previous research and testing in this area, adaptable to both invasive tubing and masks and medical practitioners are familiar with the device.

Main features of this inventions are user-specified (breath/min, insp./exp ratio and tidal volume), assist control, positive end-expiratory pressure (peep), maximum pressure limiting, humidity exchange (built into the mask), infection control (by way of covering the unit in an easily cleaned enclosure) and limited dead-space.

Thank you very much SLIC team for your assistance and guidance.

Device with Catheter Tube, External Public Bladder Hanger

I am Anuruddhika Iroshani Jayarathna, working as a Nursing Officer at National Institute of dialysis and Transplantation Unit, Colombo. My Invention “Device with Catheter Tube, External Public Bladder Hanger” is a patented award-winning invention at the Geneva International Exhibition, that is useful for COIVD 19 patients.

Patients with long-term indwelling urinary catheters are difficult to carry and keep catheter bags when they want to move or travel. This uneasy and discomfort to the patents who are no bed reddened are more with depression and anxiety than others. Furthermore, prolong indwelling catheters cause bladder dystonia and patient need to be allowed period of bladder training before the removal Catheter. In addition, it is at a risk for urinary tract infection. Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections are a significant source of morbidity and motility in long-term care facilities.

Horizontal/Vertical Collapsible Low-Cost Helmet

Hi, I am W. S. R. Thamel, following the M.Phil degree program at the University of Moratuwa. In order to find a solution for COVID 19 virus spread and infection issues, I developed a vertical/horizontal collapsible low-cost helmet.

The main features of this design with compare to existing developments are

01) it provides facilities to collapse the helmet in a vertical or horizontal side based on the usages.

02) This design provides extra protection for ears as well. Due to parts separation capability, it is very easy to clean all the parts before reuse.

03) Very low cost to built the product so that everyone can afford to buy it easily

Under the guidance and financial support of SLIC, I am currently manufacturing the helmet which is planned to distribute among medical staff.

Air sealed intubation bag

“I am Dr. B.V.K.M Bopeththa, Senior Registrar in Emergency Medicine, Accident and Emergency Unit, Sirimawo Bandaranayaka Special Children Hospital, Peradeniya. Severe respiratory tract infections have been invading the world for many years, however recently COVID 19 infection has threatened the world much more than other infective agents. The health care workers are at the highest risk of getting those virulent viral infections mainly following inhalation of contaminated aerosols. Apart from aerosol generating procedures like nebulization, intubation generates a much higher amount of contaminated aerosols. Adherence to full personal protective equipment and minimizing the number of aerosol generating procedures are currently accepted and practicing methods to reduce the risk of infection spread. With this novel technique, intubation can be performed safely with no aerosol inhalation risk to health care staff.

Protective Ventilation Suite for Healthcare Personnel

” I am K.D. Nalaka Chandrawansa, This equipment is useful as a protective cloth against airborne infectious diseases such as COVID-19. It is very convenient equipment for healthcare workers as it easy to wear and avoid sweating, which is beneficial during the clinical or surgical environment. It has been designed to prevent air-borne diseases by covering the whole body similar to personal protective equipment (PPE). The conspicuous character of this equipment by comparing PPE, it has a ventilation system which facilitates the air while the healthcare worker can continue his work without any difficulty. This equipment contains two ventilation systems, one for the head region and another for a ground. Therefore, no need to wear masks and goggles as in the conventional PPE.

Foot Operated Door Handle

I am Chanaka Pathum Bandara. I invented foot Operated Door Handle with the opener for avoiding the spread of COVID 19 viruses through the door handles.
The foot-operated door handle can be used to open the door by press the door handle knob by using the foot. It is fixed to both the front and back bottom sides of the door. A cable is connected with the normal door handle knob and foot-operated door handle. When the foot-operated door handle is pressed, the cable pulls downside and the normal door handle knob pulls downside and the door lock will be open. This device can also be used for different types of door handle knobs. It is very effective for avoiding spread virus and bacteria through touch with the door handles.

Microorganism Killing and Filtering Air Conditioner

“I am Hetti Waththage Thushan Chandranath Karunarathna, In this air conditioner, the air is filtered up to 0.3 microns, therefore, bacteria, fungus, Viruses including COVID-19 virus are totally destroyed and also spreading level of diseases can be decreased. All the microorganisms less than 0.3 microns are filtered by the Microorganism Killer Unit and on the other hand, this Air is exposed to a very high temperature so all the harmful organisms are totally destroyed. This microorganism destroying process is proved by Industrial Technology Institute Sri Lanka ( ITI ). In this Air Conditioner, oxygen level and relative humidity can be controlled by 30% of the fresh air inlet. Hot, Cool or Normal air can be taken according to the choice.
