Vacuum cleaner company Dyson said the British government no longer needed the ventilator it had developed from scratch to help plug a shortfall of the devices needed to treat patients with severe COVID-19 symptoms.
Dyson said last month it had received an order for 10,000 of the machines. The new design needed regulatory approval before they could be used on large numbers of patients.
“Mercifully they are not required, but we don’t regret our contribution to the national effort for one moment,” he said in a statement. “I have some hope that our ventilator may yet help the response in other countries, but that requires further time and investigation,” he said.
