SpiceJet launched a portable non-invasive ventilator brand on Monday for patients with mild-to-moderate breathing issues. Engineers of SpiceJet Technic, a subsidiary, designed the ‘SpiceOxy’ device at its innovation lab, the airline said in a statement.
Since this device is turbine-based and lightweight, it can be used at home, in an ambulance, on hilly terrains like army base camps, hospitals, and portable applications like wheelchairs and gurneys, according to the statement. It said the device was an “effective solution for patients with mild to moderate breathing issues" and could be of significant help for symptomatic coronavirus patients.
