In 2020, One Health Medical Technologies received COVID-19 Medical Device Authorization from Health Canada for an in-house designed, developed and manufactured ventilator. Collaborating with the USask and SHA subject matter experts, RMD Engineering was able to successfully prototype an emergency use ventilator (EUV-SK1) for Health Canada certification.

“When COVID hit, my daughter, a Royal University Hospital ICU nurse, raised awareness of the potential impact on the healthcare system. Knowing we had the skillset, capability, and capacity in-house, we chose to do something rather than nothing and created an emergency use ventilator using reliable technology and readily available materials. When we communicated our intent, we received a high level of trust from the Saskatchewan Health Authority and the leadership of the University of Saskatchewan Colleges of Engineering and Medicine, which led to a world-class collaboration,” said Jim Boire, President of RMD Engineering Group of Companies.

RMD and OHMT have since been recognized for this project winning the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Saskatchewan (APEGS) Exceptional Engineering /Geoscience Project Award (2024).

As the EUV certification has been dropped following the conclusion of the pandemic, these ventilators are now available as Training Use Ventilators for those looking for an easily transportable training tool. Contact us today for a quote.
