All:
It seems like the liability issue is going to be a thorn in terms of getting this into the field. If a company produces the circuit board with all of the UI controls and "connection points" to the required sensors, valves, hoses, and other external parts, do you see that one company supplying all of the parts, or will they just sell "the box" and let the user supply their own external devices? If that's the case, does that lessen the "box" manufacturer's liability?
If the vent doesn't have everything "hooked up" and distributed as a final, working, product but supplies all of the external components and sells it as a kit, does that less their liability? I assume that FDA is signing off on a complete unit.
My fear is that no manufacturer is going to want to take on the liability for the final product.
