Overview

Works to reduce the number of preventable neonatal deaths due to birth Asphyxia, a condition where newborn babies are unable to breathe. The solution is offered through NeoBreathe which is a foot operated resuscitation device.

The device combines suction and ventilation and enables front-line workers to perform quick resuscitation when needed. It is suitable to be operated by both skilled and less skilled workers as the ventilation operation is precise and controlled through features such as suction, manometer, FiO2 and flow control.

Added features like the ability to control PEEP provides enhanced functionality for weak or fragile babies. Trials conducted by the organization have demonstrated improvement in ventilation by skilled as well as less skilled operators.
