The aim in designing the Brina ventilator was to combine an appearance that matches the Tecme CI with the integration of the requirements of the clinical environment and the users. The client’s brief was to generate a design that could be implemented cost-effectively and that would be on surpass competitors in terms of appearance and technology.
Based on sketches, different concepts and approaches are elaborated. These initial ideas are the starting point for the later design concept. Target-oriented ideas are selected or combined. This is not only about aesthetics but also about functional individual solutions.
Through use of a basic model, different usage scenarios were simulated and the previously conceived ideas are tested for their ergonomics and comprehensibility. This approach makes it possible to make adjustments early in the process and to work out solutions that work. The simulation of the use scenarios is carried out as accurately and by as many people as possible. This allows us to map a wide range of ergonomic requirements and improve the design accordingly.
Words that define the design. All relevant cable connections are arranged horizontally in a line and colour-coded. This makes them easy and quick to survey and exceptionally safe to operate. The hose connections are located in a secondary element attached to the main body. This gives the ventilator its concise shape.
