FDA has granted Fitbit an emergency use authorization for its emergency ventilator, Fitbit Flow, for use during the Covid-19 public health emergency. The device is modeled after “standard resuscitator bags, like those used by paramedics, with sophisticated instruments, sensors, and alarms that work together to support automated compressions and patient monitoring,” the company says. During development and testing, Fitbit says it consulted with Oregon Health & Science University emergency medicine clinicians caring for Covid-19 patients and worked with the Mass General Brigham Center for Covid Innovation working group on the design to meet the needs of practitioners.
