COVID-19 specific emergency ventilator
Developed by Femtonics Ltd and Semmelweis University, Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Therapy
Distributed by Bionic Innovation Park
Benefits
- supports spontaneous breathing initiation
- capable of continuous operation for several weeks
- capable of operation from an internal battery for a minimum of 8 hours in the event of a power failure
- the amount of oxygen allotted for the patient is sufficient to operate the machine, so it is as economical as possible in terms of oxygen consumption
- critical medical components are substituted by high-quality mass-produced components from other industries that meet the safety requirements employed in the healthcare industry
- the device has been designed and manufactured within the European Union (Hungary), from high-quality components produced and quality checked in the EU

ULTRA-FAST DIGITAL GENETIC TEST FOR SARS-CoV-2 VIRUS DETECTION
A genetic test for viruses causing various pandemics
Created in cooperation among Femtonics Ltd, Avicor Ltd, Eötvös Loránd University, Faculty of Science and Péter Pázmány Catholic University, Faculty of Information Technology and Bionics
Goals
- Minimal sample preparation required
- Even laics should be able to perform the test anywhere
- Portable digital device (the size of a key chain or mobile phone)
- The device and the „test strip ” it analyses should be cost-effective and available for the wider public, taking the average Hungarian income into consideration
- Genetic and not antibody-based (similar to and as reliable as the PCR method, but much faster)
- Contains several pieces of patentanble „know-how”
- Usable at: airports, hotels, football matches, concerts, workplaces, schools, universities, parcel delivery, public transport…
- Aim: to safely increase social mobility, to significantly increase the efficiency of the economy even in pandemic conditions
Results
- A working prototype (functional model)
- A positive case can be detected within 13 minutes
- The process of mass production is thought-out
Development is currently in progress.
RT-PCR-BASED SARS-COV-2 diagnostic testing kit
Distributed by Femtonics Ltd
Benefits
- Safe handling: The ATM-1 sampling device immediately inactivates viruses hence enables safe handling and transportation of the specimen.
- Fast: The AviRNA extraction kit is designed for a rapid and efficient purification of high-quality virus RNA (nucleic acid that carriecd2026s the genetic information of many viruses).
- Easy: 1-step real-time quantitative PCR detection to identify the virus by the quantification kit.
- CE/IVD certification: All devices and reagents of the test package have been CE/ IVD certified and are suitable for diagnostic purposes.
- Shaped to your needs: The items can be purchased in a package and individually also.
Complete kit contains
ATM-1 sampling device
Safe handling and transportion
It contains sterile otolaryngological swabs and ready-to-use virus transport medium that inactivates viruses, and stabilizes the RNA for up to 96 hours
AviRNA Viral RNA Extraction kit
Fast, 3-step RNA purification
It utilizes spin minicolumns with membranes that efficiently and bind nucleic acids from the ATM-1 medium in 1-step. After the 2-step washing stage purified RNA may be used directly in RT-qPCR.
Cov2QuantTM SARS-Cov-2 Quantification kit
Easy, 1-step RT-qPCR detection
1-step reverse transcription real-time PCR (RT-QPCR) kit designed to detect the novel coronavirus. Primers were designed based on WHO recommendations.
The figure shows the PCR analysis of 5 samples. The growing concentration of DNA, due to PCR amplification, results in the increase of fluorescent signal. After 30 cycles (approx. after 17 minutes) a significant increase in fluorescent signals (0.1<) indicates a positive result for COVID-19.
MOBILE LABORATORY FOR SARS-COV-2 TESTING AND FAST POPULATION SCREENING
Distributed by Femtonics Ltd
Benefits
- SARS-CoV-2 test: using RT-qPCR-BASED SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic testing kit
- Independent of urban infrastructure
- Can be installed in almost any terrain
- Can be completely sterilized externally and internally
- The risk of infection is minimal due to the inactivated viruses
- Capacity: 1000 samples / day and it can be expanded by additional modular units
- A possibility of 24/7 service
Infrastructure and staff needed for operation
- 2 air-conditioned CN10 containers
- Plumbing unit
- Professionals with experience in a BSL-2 level laboratory (9 persons for 1000 samples/day)
