Another Coronavirus-Related Almo Initiative
Bloom Energy Corp. and Almo Corporation announced recently they are joining forces to refurbish unused, out-of-warranty ventilators and ship them to state agencies and hospitals across the country as an increasing number of patients experience critical respiratory issues as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
Bloom is refurbishing the ventilators, while Almo is using its national logistics network to ship the ventilators to and from Bloom’s manufacturing facilities in California and Delaware for refurbishment and to the state agencies and hospitals that need them the most.
The Society of Critical Care Medicine estimates that 960,000 coronavirus patients in the U.S. may need to be put on ventilators, but there are only about 200,000 such working machines available.
