We are blessed to be able to borrow thousands of dollars of high end gear for our testing, from @uhmed to supporters around the world. We’ve got test units with Peter in California, Jeffrey on Maui, and here on Oahu!

"This is Rafa Bahamonde Nieto, a buddy who lives in Spain. He helped us track down one critical sensor that has eluded us so far... Without these sensors, we won’t complete some data sets for our FDA app." https://t.co/dGcoryDnyN #kahanu #opensourceventilator #hawaiicovid19

[Kahanu OSV @KahanuOSV]

Mahalo to Universal Manufacturers in Kalihi. They volunteered to fabricate all of our 200 covers for our Kahanu ventilators! Not only are they making covers right here in Hawaii, they are covering the costs! https://t.co/kDcOx1YR1c #kahanu #opensourceventilator #hawaiicovid10

Kahanu could not have become reality without the generous, priceless support of many people. Here are just a few among many that we wish to humbly acknowledge for their contributions and cooperation. https://t.co/RgAvzbnSSK #kahanu #opensourceventilator #hawaiicovid19
