This is because the mechanism is costly, difficult to operate and works with electricity.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The EAT-SET is a cheaper and simpler version of the Auto-transfusion system that draws blood from damaged body organs to refuel the whole body. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This transfusion system takes blood into a special container, passes it through a thorough filtration process and then feeds the filtered blood back into the body system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The EAT-SET works best within 24 hours of the commencement of severe bleeding. This system can adequately process 500ml of blood within 2 minutes.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The system created by <a href=\"https:\/\/paulyne.wp-warriors.com\/who-is-an-african-giant\/\">African Giant<\/a> Dr. Oviemo makes use of collection containers with disposable filters, making it easy to reuse. It is operated with a manual vacuum pump that pulls blood from the body vessels, thereby negating the need for electricity which is severely lacking in most African countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also prevents the transmission of infection and diseases. The EAT-SET can be used to bolster blood supply to blood banks in countries where there is no availability of blood donation programs.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though the widely acclaimed doctor produced his first prototype with a mere $120, the invention solved a major problem in Africa and was therefore commended by organizations all over the world. This feat caused Dr. Oviemo to been honoured as the Best African Scientist in 1995. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He established the EAT-SET industries shortly after. He has received financial support from notable organizations like the World Health Organization and United Nation Development Program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Oviemo has received a lot of awards for the EAT-SET from notable groups around the world.<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Born in 1954 in Delta State, Nigeria, Dr. Otu Oviemo Ovadje is a highly acknowledged medical doctor who was responsible [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":62796,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-46656","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-inventors"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/paulyne.wp-warriors.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46656","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/paulyne.wp-warriors.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/paulyne.wp-warriors.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paulyne.wp-warriors.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paulyne.wp-warriors.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=46656"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/paulyne.wp-warriors.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46656\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paulyne.wp-warriors.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/paulyne.wp-warriors.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=46656"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paulyne.wp-warriors.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=46656"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paulyne.wp-warriors.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=46656"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
