FDA issues EUAs for stimulator device, ventilator
The Food and Drug Administration last week authorized emergency use for a non-invasive nerve stimulator at home or in health care settings to treat suspected COVID-19 patients experiencing worsened asthma-related shortness of breath and reduced airflow. The device from electroCore, Inc. is intended for use when other drug therapies are not tolerated or do not provide enough symptom relief. FDA also authorized as a ventilator a CPAP mask combined with a N95 from Circadiance.
