@JMPSimor There were initially 2 UK producers, Smiths in Luton and Medtronics in NI.
Smiths formed a consortium with other UK manufacturers, shared its IP & has an order for 30k #ventilators, with an initial 5k to be delivered soon-ish (presumably part of the 12k that's really only 8k).

@JMPSimor Smiths make the Parapac ventilator, which does not require external power & is intended for mobile use, such as in ambulances, BUT is not guaranteed to be suitable for longer-term use.
Medtronic (Galway) make Puritan Bennett PB980 & PB840 ventilators for critically ill patients.
