What is the Alpha Ventilator and its benefits to me

The Alpha Ventilator is the worlds first tile ventilator which includes advanced ventilator modes as well as key safety and alarm features as per international regulatory standards.
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted a shortage of ventilators but also a shortage of trained healthcare professionals to manage the large volume of ventilators when needed. In addition, frequent bedside visits by healthcare professionals to adjust and monitor ventilators increase the possibility of infection thereby pushing an already fragile healthcare system into a further grim situation. ABM’s Alpha Ventilator addresses both of these issues by enabling healthcare professionals to securely monitor and adjust ventilator settings through their online portal from any location.
