Yes, this is an impressive amount of work done in a few weeks by a small team at Tesla. However, medical devices, especially for
life support systems, are not a Hackathon project.
These devices breathe air into patients lungs. They need to be manufactured in clean room conditions, with medical grade parts, not plumbing parts from a big box store. They must be designed and tested to ISO specifications. If this fails, the patient can die.
I can't imagine any hospital or doctor careless enough to connect one of these to a patient, even in this current emergency.
The smarter idea is to ramp up existing proven designs, not reinvent the wheel and basically do a publicity stunt about your engineering talent.
