CAE To Produce Ventilators, Offer Healthcare Training
CAE, which designed an easy-to-manufacture ventilator prototype in 11 days, hopes to produce some 10,000 of them over the next three months.

CAE has jumped into the fight against Covid-19, preparing to begin production of ventilators and launching complimentary training seminars for healthcare personnel. The Canadian training specialist said its healthcare engineers and scientists designed a “simple, maintainable, easy-to-manufacture” ventilator prototype in just 11 days. That prototype is undergoing approval by Health Canada and CAE is sourcing components to begin production in the meantime. CAE is hoping to have the first ventilators produced in three to four weeks and to manufacture as many as 10,000 over the next three months, a company spokesperson said.
