In March COVID-19 blocked medical supply chains even as the need for ventilators soared. Medtronic responded by sharing the design specifications for its Puritan Bennett 560 ventilator so anyone could build one. Since then, the company says, 200,000 entities have downloaded the specs, while Medtronic quintupled its own production to 1,000 units a week, keeping shortages at bay.
