HI Darren. It does seem like a bit of a self-contradiction in the MHRA requirements. My guess is that testing outside of safe operating levels is a way to confirm that the ventilator being tested has extra capacity beyond the anticipated normal operating conditions. Similar to a safety-factor in a mechanical design. For instance, a ladder that specifies 200 lb capacity when in general they are tested at 2x that weight. My hope would be that after verifying ventilator-capability at those unsafe levels, they would impose some redundant safety features ensuring that in practice, the pressure/volume levels are not allowed to exceed safe levels for the patient. Thanks for your hard work on this project and sharing your progress.
Hello thank you very much for your videos that assist me to bulid same idea device but i have problem i wish you could help me and i would like to share my design and problem.how i could contact with you? Thanks
You are such an intelligent person ❤
