Medtronic Shares Ventilation Design Specifications
- benzible 7y agoInteresting, I've been helping with this project to crowdsource ventilator manuals (https://www.ifixit.com/News/36354/help-us-crowdsource-repair-information-for-hospital-equipment https://www.ifixit.com/News/36354/help-us-crowdsource-repair...) and as of last night Medtronic was saying they that they're "not providing [service] manuals to third parties but will provide manuals directly to the end users on request during this time to assist them in supporting their Medtronic ventilators." Good for them for changing their minds.
- unstatusthequo 7y agoYeah, but they are still collecting information to actually download the plans. What are they doing with that info?
- WkndTriathlete 7y agoLet's just say that I'm more informed than most about this and the most likely scenario is that they are collecting information so they can reach out with job offers to those that come up with novel improvements.
- benzible 7y agoOK, apparently it's bullshit: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22734799 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22734799
