Both teams this week began delivering the first 20 e-aerosol boxes (masks) to hospitals and health services, which are specially designed in conjunction with Supercars medical delegate Dr Carl Le.
Blanchard said the first load of masks made their way to Hobart, Adelaide and Ballarat for doctors to sample.
"We will continue to send them out, starting at the main office in Melbourne then we'll shift to our 30 branches and we'll use our 70 vans to distribute from there," Blanchard said.
A second prototype is already under way.
