Worthless. BiPAPs are for sleep apnea, COPD and other minor NIV airway needs, not keeping patients who have narrow, high-pressure therapeutic windows alive between drowning and barotrauma while dodging ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia or spreading virions all over an ICU. There are needs for mostly adult NIV ICU ventilators, with additional needs for adult/child NIV/TI ICU/hospital room ventilators as well. There are roughly a dozen manufacturers globally, with about 3 in the US: GE, ResMed, and Vyaire (spun-off from BD), while Medtronic dodged US taxes with a corporate inversion to Ireland. IIRC, the second DPA order covers the US ones above, Medtronic, Phillips (Netherlands), and Hill-Rom (also US). I wonder how it works to compel a Dutch company to make things for the US market? Perhaps there are potential trade, sanctions, and/or property seizure ban-hammers involved.
