A number of Cambridge, UK-based companies with extensive experience in inhaler design and development have responded to a request from the UK government to join an initiative to rapidly increase the country’s manufacture of ventilators in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Companies joining the effort include Team Consulting, Cambridge Consultants, PA Consulting, Sagentia, and TTP.
The companies will contribute expertise in areas ranging from human factors to electronics to regulatory issues, a press release said, with the goal of delivering results within 5-6 weeks instead of a typical 5-6 years.
According to the press release, “The companies are all working to a specification published by the government, established in response to the clinical interventions understood to be effective in the treatment of COVID-19. While working on separate, parallel designs, the group is collaborating closely to support each other.”
