Fitbit has launched the Fitbit Flow, a low-cost emergency ventilator with Inventec Appliances reportedly being the sole supplier, according to sources from the upstream supply chain.
The Fitbit Flow is expected to see annual shipments of around one million units, the sources said.
Inventec declined to comment on specific clients or orders, but said the subsidiary is stepping up the effort in the healthcare application development.
With rising global demand for ventilators, Fitbit applied its expertise in advanced sensor development and hardware design to quickly create Fitbit Flow, an automatic resuscitator inspired by the MIT E-Vent Design Toolbox and based on specifications for Rapidly Manufactured Ventilation Systems.
The Fitbit Flow will be made at Inventec Appliances' plant in Taiwan starting August, the souces said.
