EasyBreath exhalation valve for ventilator.
There is a hug bug in "isinnova"'s design: a direct short circuit between its air inlet and air outlet. The carbon dioxide exhaled by the patient will remain near the mouth and nose, causing respiratory acidosis.
So I made such an exhalation valve to connect to the outlet of the ventilator.
I don't have the 3D parameters of EasyBreath, so I can't achieve strict sealing. I need to apply thick Vaseline before installation to ensure air sealing.
Although I don't believe that 3D printed mask can really be used clinically, I cannot tolerate such a bug. It must be fixed.
