Case Study: UK Government accelerates ventilator production with Plexus HAPP ventilator manufacturing

UK Government builds HAPP ventilators in 10 days with Plexus Corp.

The UK Government faced the challenge of urgently increasing the number of ventilators available to the NHS during the COVID-19 pandemic. They appealed to manufacturers to rapidly produce these critical medical devices. Plexus Corp. answered this call and partnered to upscale the manufacturing of the Helix Adult Pediatric Portable (HAPP) Ventilator.

Plexus implemented a solution by rapidly engineering a new manufacturing process and supply chain, all while adhering to strict regulatory requirements for the Class IIb medical device. The company's teams worked around the clock to overcome part shortages and establish testing protocols. As a result, Plexus completed the first build of the ventilator just 10 days after receiving the initial bill of materials, delivering a finished product of essential quality in record time.
