Yorkville Sound Pivots to Produce Ventilators

Toronto, Canada (May 6, 2020) — Yorkville Sound is working with Starfish Medical on an open-source ventilator design project to increase the number of ventilators in Canada. The pro-audio manufacturer is providing its engineering and manufacturing expertise as it collaborates in an answer to the Government of Canada’s call to action to Canadian businesses and manufacturers to help deliver critical health supplies to fight the COVID 19 pandemic.

“Our design and manufacturing team is very excited to be part of the solution during this unprecedented time,” says Steve Long, Yorkville Sound’s president.  “We’re providing circuit-board design and layout, as well as the assembly of the control panel for the ventilator project.  Our capable facility is quite nimble, and we are able to produce finished results quickly and with accuracy. We are dedicated to help flatten the curve and provide much needed equipment for our country’s healthcare professionals.”
