January Update
Hey everybody! It’s Stephen here wishing you a happy and healthy new year. Before I share some great news with you, I wanted to point out that the timeline on our Indiegogo campaign page is out of date. It is no longer possible to make changes to it so we will inform you on the timing of events through updates posted here.
As you know, the development of the micro-blower has been really difficult and has taken much longer than anticipated. Just getting the proof of concept prototype to blow air and at pressure has been painfully slow, but I’m happy to tell you that we have done that! We have demonstrated that the micro-blowers can blow air (by blowing bubbles) and have measured the pressure at over five centimeters of water.
We are not yet at our designed performance level, but we are seeing progress and making continuous improvements in that direction. Airing’s micro-CPAP device is designed to work with hundreds of individual micro-blowers all working in parallel. Now that they are starting to work, we are in the process of “stacking” them together to confirm their ability to work in combination
We will keep you posted on our progress and hope to share some more performance data as soon as we can. We are 100% committed to getting the micro-CPAP device to work.
To that end, we continue to develop relationships with strategic partners that have the resources and expertise to take our prototypes and turn them into commercial products which can be manufacture and delivered to the marketplace.
We appreciate your patience and we promise to try and keep you more informed as we move forward. We understand that many people are suffering and we are working as hard and as fast as we can. Again, it is important to seek treatment for OSA and try and comply with the therapy as best you can. We believe Airing’s micro-CPAP device will be much more comfortable, but until it is available, please try and continue with whatever equipment you have; your health is critically important! We’ll catch up as soon as we can.
Thanks everyone!
