Prototek helped Meter build the Rise Emergency Ventilator for rapid COVID-19 Deployment. Our Sheet Metal Fabrication facility was chosen to expedite parts on a critical timeline.
"We want to thank Prototek again for their support during our ventilator push these past couple of weeks. We couldn't have done what we did to bring this ventilator to market without all the hard work from your team.”
- Meter Co-founder and CEO Eduardo Torrealba
HERE’S THE BACK STORY:
Meter is an industrial hardware startup based in Boston and San Francisco that developed a new concept for meeting the global ventilator shortage. Meter’s team has expertise in hardware design and resuscitator development, and experience manufacturing tens of thousands of hardware products at scale.
When it came time for production, Meter selected Prototek to manufacture parts for the ventilator. The device is designed to be affordably produced at high volumes to help meet current and future critical demands.
“Our entire Prototek team is proud to see the results of our work come together as Meter’s new Rise Emergency Ventilator,” says Prototek VP Operations PJ Swett.
“Prototek is known for our rapid turnaround and ability to produce challenging, precision parts for challenging applications. But knowing the urgency of getting affordable ventilators out into the field added a sense of urgency for our team.”
The Rise Emergency Ventilator is currently under review for an FDA Emergency Use Authorization during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Prototek Rapid Prototyping, Sheet Metal Fabrication and Machining makes millions of parts for hundreds of companies. Our parts help save lives, make us fly, explore new worlds, and drive the research that makes us thrive.
