After transitioning 4,000 employees to remote work, this $3 billion company worked quickly to create a Covid-safe pipeline that it shared with contemporaries. As the country struggled with a ventilator shortage, Digi-Key worked with the University of Minnesota to design and produce the Coventor, a simple, open-source, low-cost ventilator the size of a cereal box that could be replicated and distributed to hospitals treating Covid-19 patients. Digi-Key's team focused on addressing supply chain issues and locating the necessary components within a couple of weeks. The Coventor was the first ventilator approved for use under the FDA's emergency authorization program. In addition, the company has supplied necessary components for medical devices on the frontlines.
