A newer iteration of the LifeAir ventilator is currently being engineered for a summer 2020 submission to the US Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and Canada Health in the hopes of obtaining fast track approval.
In December 2015, Inertia had developed a functional prototype. The proof of concept included parts that were manufactured using CNC machined plastics, metal stampings, printed circuit boards, etc. Olakulehin has since returned to Nigeria and presented the product to the medical community in Lagos.
