Yes; I have read the RMVS document; it is an interesting "spec", but I agree with John that there is no need (neither is there any time) to "re-invent the wheel".

For instance, it implies that monitoring (a display) is to be included. This introduces yet another layer of complication for prospective manufacturers, and I would have thought that stand-alone monitors should suffice. If necessary these could be obtained from other sources.

They (we) need to pick on an established design - I have suggested the Siemens Servo 900 C - then crank up production.

Meanwhile, ventilator nomenclature keeps changing ... this .pdf may help. smile

If you don't inspect ... don't expect.
