De novo Powered Air-Purifying Respirator Design and Fabrication for Pandemic Response

2021-03-29

Abstract excerpt

<h4>SUMMARY</h4> The rapid spread of COVID-19 and disruption of normal supply chains resulted in severe shortages of personal protective equipment (PPE), particularly devices with few suppliers such as powered air-purifying respirators (PAPRs). A scarcity of information describing design and performance criteria represents a substantial barrier to new approaches to address these shortages. We sought to apply open-...
