Hi Alexis,<br>
iFixit are crowdsourcing repair information for hospital equipment:<br>
<a
href="https://www.ifixit.com/News/36354/help-us-crowdsource-repair-information-for-hospital-equipment">https://www.ifixit.com/News/36354/help-us-crowdsource-repair-information-for-hospital-equipment</a><br>
to build up this:<br>
<a href="https://www.ifixit.com/Device/Medical_Device">https://www.ifixit.com/Device/Medical_Device</a><br>
<br>
Everyone, please help If you can.<br>
<br>
They also reference:<br>
<a href="http://www.frankshospitalworkshop.com/">http://www.frankshospitalworkshop.com/</a><br>
<br>
There was also a call out in the UK for volunteer engineers to help
in hospitals:<br>
<a
href="https://www.raeng.org.uk/policy/engineering-response-covid-19-coronavirus/active-government-calls">https://www.raeng.org.uk/policy/engineering-response-covid-19-coronavirus/active-government-calls</a><br>
<br>
There is lots of this sort of activity going on, but, since there
are copyright & patent issues, it's not as well publicised as it
should be.<br>
<br>
See some discussion here:<br>
<a
href="https://talk.restarters.net/t/broken-covid-19-hospital-equipment-a-call-for-information/2658">https://talk.restarters.net/t/broken-covid-19-hospital-equipment-a-call-for-information/2658</a><br>
<br>
... which references this article on the flip side of the issue:<br>
