Spiro Devices

Spiro Devices was a New York medical device company formed in 2020 by Newlab, 10XBeta, and Boyce Technologies, together with other collaborators, to develop and manufacture a low-cost emergency ventilation device during the COVID-19 crisis. Its flagship product, Spiro Wave, is an automated manual resuscitator intended to provide basic ventilator functionality as a bridge solution when conventional ventilators are unavailable. The company moved rapidly from concept to production support, won a U.S. Army xTech COVID-19 Ventilator Challenge award, obtained FDA Emergency Use Authorization during the pandemic, and was selected to supply devices for New York City. Available evidence indicates the company was a pandemic-response venture centered on a single emergency respiratory device rather than a traditional therapeutics pipeline company. Publicly visible recent operating information is limited, suggesting it is no longer an active standalone operating business.
