Reakce společnosti MICo Medical k článku publikovaném na internetovém zpravodajském portálu aktualne.cz ze dne 9.10. 2020 https://zpravy.aktualne.cz/domaci/prymula-dekuje-za-50-ventilatoru-ppf-182-kusu-od-drobnych-da/r~622ea12c096f11ebb115ac1f6b220ee8/

The manufacturer of the CoroVent lung ventilator, MICo Medical, has joined forces with the Korean giant Korean Heavy Industry & Development (KHIND). After obtaining the US FDA EUA (Emergency Use Authorization) certification, this is another strategic decision with the aim of securing CoroVent sales in foreign markets.

We can sumarize last days as a huge success which opens an imaginary door to the dozens of countries around the world. In the first stage of serial production, MICo Medical produced almost 400 CoroVents. We have received only a positive feedback from the places where CoroVents were using or testing. Unfortunately we come up against the problem of distributing it without a proper certification. This is the reason why MICo Medical, in a close cooperation with the Technical University in Prague, made great efforts to obtain FDA, and after nearly four months they succeeded.

At Czech equivalent of hackathon organized by Czech Invest organization and Ministry of Industry and Trade were enrolled 206 projects. Afterwards the jury selected the best 15 of them to Pitch Competition. On 22nd of June they fought for 7 financial prizes. CoroVent takes 2nd place and received the 2 milions CZK for another development.

The crisis situation calls for a creative approach. Our team creates a lung ventilator in several places in distant parts of the country at the same time - Kladno, Třebíč, Prague, Brno, Plzeň, Prosetín, Ostrava…

CoroVent came to life as a joint project of the Czech tech industry, educational institutions, the government, and ordinary citizens involved in crowdsourcing and organizing efforts to fight the COVID-19 pandemic.

An online collection raised 12.5 million CZK in one day from 7,294 donors, far surpassing its goal of 10 million CZK. Thank you very much for your support!

Three devices from mass production were handed over to the Electrotechnical Testing Institute for standard safety testing. After an intense week, we received thefinal statement, having passed all the tests.

The jury of the pan-European EUvsVirus Hackathon identified the best solutions supporting Europe and the world in the fight against the coronavirus outbreak, and CoroVent did great!
