This work was done by Michael Peshkin and Ed Colgate at Northwestern University.
We gratefully acknowledge the contributions of Joe Mullenbach, who instigated this effort and who designed and prototyped an early prototype of the pressure shifter; Mike Beltran and George Cheng who assisted with rapid prototyping; Nick Marchuk who manufactured PCBs for the over pressure alarm; Dr. Sam O. Colgate who suggested the use of a wash-down enclosure and advised on hole cutting techniques; J. Alex Heller who shared his expertise in emergency ventilator technology, and Dr. Mozziyar Etemadi who took time away from a challenging clinical schedule to provide guidance and feedback.
Detailed parts lists and construction walk-throughs are available upon request.
