‘AMLEX’--- IIT Ropar

Current Context: The Researchers of the Indian Institute of Technology Ropar (IIT Ropar) has developed an Oxygen Rationing Device named ‘AMLEX’.

• It is basically a first-of-its-kind Oxygen Rationing Device that is used to save oxygen which gets wasted due to unnecessary reasons.
• The ‘AMLEX’ is also used to increase the life of medical oxygen cylinders in three times.
• The device is capable of supplying the required volume of oxygen to the patient during inhalation and it will trip off the supply when the patient exhales carbon dioxide.
• The device will help in tackling the shortage of oxygen supply during pandemic COVID-19 and will save money for patients as well as hospitals.
• The devices synchronize the flow of oxygen with inhalation and exhalation of the patient thereby conserving a large amount of oxygen in the reservoir for a long-lasting operation.
