FAQ :
The PM CARES Fund is procuring 150,000 units of the Oxycare System.
The procurement of 150,000 Oxycare Systems will cost £322.5 crore.
The Oxycare System was developed by DRDO (Defence Research and Development Organisation).
The system regulates oxygen administration to patients based on their SpO2 (blood oxygen saturation) levels, optimising consumption and increasing the endurance of portable oxygen cylinders.
It reduces the workload and exposure of healthcare providers by eliminating the need for routine manual adjustments of oxygen flow and facilitates tele-consultation. The automatic system also provides audio warnings for various failure scenarios.
These systems can be used at homes, quarantine centres, COVID Care Centres, and hospitals.
