Splitters
Consorci de la Zona Franca (CZFB) and Leitat have launched the production of 3D-printed splitters that allow connecting more than one patient to a single ventilator. Thanks to this 3D printed piece, an assisted breathing equipment will be able to support two, three or even four people simultaneously and with the same ventilatory requirements. A maximum of 17 pieces can be printed, uninterruptedly.
MULTIVENT is a device that allows to extend the number of people that can be connected with a pulmonary ventilator. The product is made of polyamide 12 through an additive manufacturing process and is made up of 1 female inlet with a Ø22mm diameter that can be connected to the fan and 2 or more male outlets with a Ø22mm diameter that allow dividing the air flow of the fan outlet and connecting it to more than one patient on the ventilator. These splitters have been manufactured following the instructions of the General Directorate of the Basic Portfolio of SNS and Pharmacy Services.

Diagnostic kits
Lateral flow immunochromatography (Blood/Serum)
Given the critical need to know the reliability and effectiveness of the results expressed by the lateral flow immunochromatography diagnostic kits, Leitat has launched a process for the validation of suppliers of these “KITS” in both blood and plasma samples. The validation of “KITS” is carried out by its own method, the design of which has included a small clinical trial. The method allows us to understand the usefulness of the Kit at different time points of the disease, its efficacy VS the RT-PCR technique and the efficacy between using the same kit in blood VS plasma.
Thanks to the methodology developed by Leitat, it is possible to respond to:
