9. CIMEDs Develops Face Shield
Increasing need for Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE) due
to the COVID-19.
CIMEDs is a Center for Excellence
in Higher Education Science and
Technology (PUI PT) and is under
the Faculty of Engineering UGM,
made a prototype of face
protection.
CIMEDs supported by
researchers from the Department
of Mechanical and Industrial
Engineering (DTMI), and
researchers from the UGM
Faculty of Public Health and
Nursing (FKKMK).
This face protection prototype
intends for medical personnel
who deal directly with patients.
This face shield is needed to
protect medical personnel from
splashes of fluid and breath
directly from patients with Covid-
19.
This prototype is useful for
workers who deal directly with
goods that are harmful to the
body, especially the face.
Prototypes made from clear
plastic seen for both the user and
the patient. Also, the face shield
uses a strap or band which has an
adjustable size of the head and
comfortable on the forehead.
This prototype would be better if
it created to be anti-fog and able
to cover the whole side and
along the face.
It is possible to use it again if the
material used is durable and
people can clean it to reuse it,
but it can also use only once.
Up to now, there are 75
prototypes. This product has
tested for medical staff with
some input comments for
improvement.

34. Two UGM Laboratories
for COVID-19 PCR Test
In order to detect Covid-19 cases
more quickly, Two laboratories at
the UGM Campus, the Microbiology
Laboratory and the Tahija
Foundation The World Mosquito
Program (WMP) Laboratory at the
FKKMK UGM, are functioning to
assist in the diagnosis of COVID-19.
These two laboratories have been
used for COVID-19 detection since
last weekend.
Some doctors and 13 staff of
laboratory technicians are assigned
to working for the two labs.
There is already a Decree (SK) from
the Ministry of Health assigned
laboratory for the COVID-19
experiment.
In the Province of DIY itself, there
are Dr. Sardjito and RSA UGM
selected as laboratories to examine
COVID-19.

laboratory confirms the definitive
diagnosis of COVID-19 no longer
waiting for laboratory test results
from the center for PCR testing.

35. Faculty of Pharmacy Produces
Viral Transport Medium
for Covid-19 Detection
Viral transport medium (VTM) is a
carrier for nasal and throat mucus
specimens of patients that will be
swab tested then it will proceed to
the laboratory for further testing.
Patients suspected of being
infected, were taken for nasal and
throat mucus specimens and then
followed by PCR (Polymerase Chain
Reaction) tests.
Positive results through the rapid
test version need to be further
confirmed by this PCR swab test.
Faculty of Pharmacy initiative to
conduct a VTM procurement
program to support PCR swab
testing of the Covid-19 virus.
The manufacturing process carried
out in the UGM Advanced Faculty of
Pharmaceutical Sciences (APS)
Laboratory.
This VTM made at the UGM Faculty
of Pharmacy to meet its needs in
several PCR swab Testing
Laboratories that have been buying
VTM ready to use.
In its manufacture requires several
tools, including biosafety cabinet,
water bath, sterile filter size of 0.20-
0.45 micron.
There are several ingredients used;
first, there is Fetal Bovine Serum
(FBS), which is then heat-
inactivated. Next, there are also
Hanks Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS),
gentamicin sulfate, amphotericin B.
In brief, the procedure for making VTM
involves inactivating FBS in the antibiotic
preparation water bath by mixing the
two antibiotics above and mixing the
prepared ingredients into the HBSS
buffer. Storage of VTM preparations is at
a temperature of 2-8 °C.

36. UGM Hospital
Launches GAMA Swab Chamber
GAMA Swab Sampling Booth is a
booth for taking swab tests for
those suspected of being exposed to
the Coronavirus.
The presence of this swab booth is
hopefully able to reduce the
growing need due to demands for
Covid-19 diagnoses.
the GAMA Swab Sampling Booth is
hopefully able to streamline time
and place, as well as minimize the
hospital's red zone over the
distribution of Covid-19.
Many people did not have a chance
to get this facility in the past
because of limited tools.
This tool is developed by FMIPA,
Vocational School, and FKKMK
UGM.
It costs 25 million rupiah to produce
the tool and needs ten days to
process.
The GAMA Swab booth was
designed by the sampling officer
inside and the patient outside. the
GAMA Swab booth is designed for
mobile. Inside the air cooler and
communication audio is provided,
plus adequate lighting.
this tool uses a hepa filter.
As for the patient, disinfectants are
prepared with drainage so that
when one patient continues with
the next patient, there will be
disinfection so that they will be safe.
The booth is made of durable
enough material

37. Preparing RT-LAMP Method
For Puskesmas (Health Facilities in District Level)
DERU is preparing to set up system which can
increase capability of health facilities in district
level to detect covid-19 positive cases.
DERU also strives to provide RT-LAMP (Reverse
Transcription Loop-Mediated Isothermal
Amplification) tests system in the community as
an effort for rapid detection in society.
It is an innovative breakthrough to increase
capability of community in mitigating this
covid-19 disaster.
DERU plans to accelerate implementation of
this RT-LAMP method, which is
•1) faster (detection process needs only 35 – 60 minutes),
•2) cheaper than using RT-PCR method. Its isothermal
reaction with constant temperature requires no
sophisticated tools,
•3) more simple to be implemented by staff of district level
health facilities, and
•4) able to deliver reliable result comparable to ones
provided by RT-PCR.
39. Siaga Mudik Application
as Effort to Suppress Covid-19
The aplication is created
to the suppress the
spread of Covid-19.
The application is
developed through
collaboration between
Central Java Provincial
Government, Universitas
Gadjah Mada Alumni
Family (KAGAMA), as
well as lecturers, alumni,
and students of UGM
Vocational School (SV
UGM).
The iapllication is able to
track the historical
journey of Central Java
travelers residents to
prevent the spread of
Covid -19.
this application could
record the number of
travelers based on the
travelers destination
location, residential
address, and their
locations, as well as the
health condition of the
travelers based on
symptoms of illness and
the presence or absence
of congenital diseases
from travelers.

UGM Faculty of
Psychology and The
Gajah Mada
Psychology
Volunteer
(Repsigama).
There are various
causes for
individuals to be
more vulnerable
than others to
experience anxiety,
stress, depression,
even suicidal
thoughts.
Some of them are
having physical
illness both related
to COVID-19 or
other illnesses,
suffering from
psychological pain
before this
pandemic, economic
problems,
limitations in
learning because the
facilities do not
support.
Then, conflict with
family because it
continues at home.
It could also be due
to the unfavorable
residential and
boarding
environment such as
the size is too small
or too dense.

43. Collaboration between Directorate of Community Services units
through DERU team and UGM Agrotechnology Innovation Center
(PIAT).
General purpose: as a form of solidarity especially for those who are
in the forefront as well as citizens who are affected systematically by
the Covid-19.
Specific purpose: to provide nutrition and vitamin strengthening
immunity as well as as a solution to the economic problem caused
by the decreasing of the selling amount of the fruits in traditional
markets and people’s income in general.
DERU creates an impactful program:
•Fruits comes from traditional markets or local citizens will be processed into juice
drink.
•Money received from selling the juice will add income of traditional fruit market
sellers or local citizens.
•Juice making are done by workers or citizens for their incomes.
•Juice drink will be packaged in such a way in order to make the distribution process
easier.
•The main Consumer targets are PIAT employees, DERU Volunteers, KKN Students
who are actively involved in DERU programs, DKPM staffs who are still active,
•Other targets are farm workers near production places and other communities.
PIAT as the party that will execute the program will:
•Buy any equipments and materials to build production unit in Mangunan.
•Absorb 20kg fuits per day.
•Produce approxmately 150 bottles of fruit juices then they will be given to the
DKPM in each day.
•Variation of the juice made according to the availability of the fruits supplied by
PIAT UGM partners.
•The Production process are done at PIAT branch office in Mangunan helped by
technical staffs.
Producing juices from locally grown fuits as
one of the mitigations of the systemic impact
of the covid-19 national disaster
