Devices on hand among a sampling of states and what each is seeking from federal and private sources.
Note: New York’s current inventory includes 3,500 ventilators from China, 4,400 from the Stretegic National Stockpile, 140 from Oregon and 9,000 newly-purchased BiPAP machines to be converted; the units sought for New Jersey was calculated based on a statement by Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli that state needed 6,000 machines, minus the amount added to the state’s inventory since that statement.
