One of the items, of many, that worries me about this wild west season of ventilator innovation is that many of these new ventilators lack a common interface. Users are trained a long time on how best to use a ventilator using a very limited variety of user interfaces. I think it's very dangerous to expect a respiratory therapist to handle all the varieties of respirator interfaces that I'm sure are being created. New interfaces always mean mistakes, it's part of the learning process. We see it in software all the time. A user gets a brand new interface so it takes time for the user to acclimate to it. When you are dealing with a wordprocessor it's no big deal to make a mistake but a machine that can save or kill a patient depending on how it's being used is a whole different situation. I wonder, what is being done about that?
