NASA engineers have devised a high-pressure ventilator specifically to treat COVID-19 patients. The device is called VITAL & passed a critical test this week at the Icahn School of Medicine in NY. VITAL is developed to treat patients with milder symptoms. NASA now seeks FDA approval for the device through an emergency use authorization. The NASA prototype was found to have performed as expected under many simulated conditions.
