A Model-Based Standardized Testing Approach for Low-Cost Mechanical Ventilator

Authors Info & Claims
Published:24 January 2024Publication History

ABSTRACT

This paper introduces a standardized testing approach specifically designed for low-cost mechanical ventilators. The primary objective is to ensure that these ventilators are safe, reliable, and perform optimally. Given the surge in demand for affordable ventilators during the COVID-19 pandemic, it is imperative to address the inadequate testing and validation procedures associated with these devices. The proposed approach encompasses different types of testing, including functional, performance, and safety testing. By incorporating models into the testing process, this approach provides enhanced test coverage, early detection of defects and systematic generation of test cases.
