The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) stated on March 23 that it had taken \u201csignificant action\u201d to increase the availability of respiratory devices, including ventilators, in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe FDAs new actions will mean America can make more ventilators during this crisis,\u201d Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said in a March 22 statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Epoch Times refers to the novel coronavirus, which causes the disease COVID-19, as the CCP virus<\/a> because the Chinese Communist Partys coverup and mismanagement allowed the virus to spread across China and fan a global pandemic.<\/p>\n

The FDAs new actions to support response efforts to the pandemic, as detailed in a guidance document (pdf<\/a>), include eliminating barriers to the production of ventilators and other respiratory devices, such as supply shortages or manufacturing limitations.<\/p>\n

For example, the guidance says the FDA intends to exercise enforcement discretion for certain modifications to FDA-cleared devices.<\/p>\n

\u201cHospitals and other health care providers can repurpose machines they have now to serve as ventilators,\u201d Azar said. \u201cIf you want to help expand production of ventilators to save American lives in this pandemic, we are going to work with you to sweep every possible barrier out of your way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another change is that hospitals and health care professionals may use ventilators intended for other environments, the FDA stated.<\/p>\n

The agency stated this policy is intended to remain in effect only for the duration of the public health emergency related to COVID-19.<\/p>\n

Ventilators, which cost tens of thousands of dollars, are mechanical breathing devices that can direct air and oxygen into the lungs. They are crucial for the care of people with lung failure, which can be one of the complications suffered by patients with severe COVID-19.<\/p>\n

Earlier, President Donald Trump said<\/a> that General Motors, Tesla, and Ford have been approved to produce ventilators to combat the CCP virus surge in the United States.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are working closely with Ventec to rapidly scale up production of their critically important respiratory products to support our countrys fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. We will continue to explore ways to help in this time of crisis,\u201d Mary Barra, GM chairman and CEO, said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Elon Musk, Teslas CEO, wrote that Tesla<\/a> will produce \u201cventilators if there is a shortage.\u201d<\/p>\n

New York Mayor Bill De Blasio told CNN o<\/a>n March 23 that the citys hospitals have only enough equipment and supplies to get through the end of the week, and made an urgent call for masks and ventilators.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust a few days ago, I thought we could get safely into April. Its moving so fast right now that I cant even say that anymore,\u201d De Blasio said.<\/p>\n
