Valence InVent Xtend allows up to four patients to be connected to only one ventilator and to adjust the settings individually to each person. The aim was to translate the multifunctional components into a design language that is clearly understandable. This is achieved in various ways, such as by colour-coding the valve closure caps and using pictograms instead of labels. The compact size and low weight of the system enable convenient storage and rapid deployment.
Statement by the Jury
With its pioneering design, Valence InVent Xtend offers a solution for crisis situations where there is an acute shortage of ventilators.
