The context behind the project
During the first months of the COVID-19 pandemic, Peru urgently needed ventilators while imported equipment was scarce, expensive and difficult to maintain locally.

Role as a technology partner
DIACSA participated as a technology partner, contributing firmware, electronic systems and PCB manufacturing within a multidisciplinary development team.
What was achieved
Project result
MASI received exceptional authorization from DIGEMID/MINSA, more than 300 units were manufactured, and the project was recognized by international institutions for its documented clinical evidence.
“MASI is truly leading the way in building evidence of clinical efficacy.”
MASI shows that Peruvian engineering can respond to urgent public needs with serious, validated and locally manufacturable technology.
