Contributing to Our Mission is Easy
- Fill out the form to provide us with your contact information and information about your available ventilator.
- The Co-Vents team will contact you and arrange shipping of the ventilator to one of our certified service centers.
- Our experts will evaluate the ventilator and will follow FDA guidelines for refurbishing of the device.
- Once the vent is repaired at our cost, we will make it available to areas of the country that are struggling with the surge of COVID-19 patients in their ICU.
- Know that you have helped save the lives of patients in need all over the country.
