We are a non-profit organization building an infrastructure to develop, manufacture, distribute and operate remote-controlled ventilators and oxygen concentrators that will also gather high-resolution treatment data for scientific research and treatment optimization.

We are confident that we have identified the requirements for all the parts of the ventilator. As soon as we have gathered enough funding we want to begin ordering these parts and assemble the ventilators. We need help to communicate with cost-effective part suppliers from all over the world and create a database of suppliers with their individual price offers so that we can verify our estimated ventilator production cost.

Almost all of the components for the ventilator are off-the-shelf components normally used in other products. Most of these items come from China. Each type of component may be manufactured in totally different factories thus necessitating the acquisition of the components that meet the criteria for an appropriate price. These components will then be distributed in accordance with the Manufacturing Manager's directions to the appropriate staff who will carry out relevant subassembly and final assembly until the numbers being manufactured a large enough to occur in a contract assembly manufacturing division probably in China.

Tasks:

  • identify potential suppliers
  • begin negotiations (mandarin of advantage)
  • Search for similar but cheaper parts that meet system requirements as well (electrical basics necessary)

Mission Statement

Our mission is to maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of the world's medical workforce fighting COVID-19

Description

Every Year 4.2 million children under 5 are desperate for oxygen. 800,000 mothers lose their child every year because of Pneumonia, a lung disease often requiring oxygen. This toll is higher than for any other disease in the world. What hospitals in the US and Europe consider one of the most essential treatments is not available for many. The problem, oxygen concentrators keep breaking down in the high humidity, temperature and dust environments, burn through during energy spikes when the power comes back online after one of the many outages or simply breaks and nobody knows how to repair it.

We have set out to change this and develop an oxygen concentrator that will make public health investments much more effective. Our first calculations suggest that we could lower the cost of a child's life by as much as two-thirds. Due to our organization working with volunteers we can reduce the development cost but bringing a medical device to market is hard work and we expect that you meet the requirements and are responsive and transparent with your skills and availability. If our mission sounds important and exciting to you, learn more about us on www.ardenmed.com and apply for one of our open positions through our platform! http://jira.ardenmed.com/plugins/servlet/loginfreeRedirMain?portalid=16&request=136
