Heart Lungs Built For 60 Dollars At Fels Institute
Yellow Springs Ohio December reports that a $60 artificial heart lung device, developed by the Fels Institute at Antioch College, is ready for human use. It is all glass with electro magnetic gas valves, weighs under four pounds, and avoids moving parts to protect red blood cells. It may bypass the heart and lungs, rest lungs during pneumonia treatments, or aid newborns. Device tested on dogs, kept a 50 pound dog alive over two hours. 71 minutes noted for a separate device. Samuel S. Fels funded the project. Hahnemann Hospital in Philadelphia reported a similar device last week.
