The cheapest probably would be Indian... Have heard that these cost about 35 lakhs INR + another 3 Lakhs INR for the Kit. Thta's a total of about $50,000 USD.
Last April a Chinese company started production (but not approved to be used on humans yet) and their pricings were between 1 and 3.5 million yuan ($140,000 - $500,000) with additional high costs on consumable items. It can cost a patient about 200,000 yuan for only two weeks' treatment in the ICU.
Te best ones are sourced by the US (approx $ 150,000 onwards) . The Germans make really good Ultra-Compact ECMOs and also hand-helds (by MAQUET Cardiopulmonary AG) and also the Italians (mostly by Sorin Group, Italia)
A non-rebreather mask and a reservior. One-way valves prevent exhaled air from reentering the oxygen reservoir. (Air escapes from the sides)
Usually deliver between 60 percent to 80 percent oxygen at a flow rate of about 10 to 15 L/min.
Also there's a Partial-Rebreather mask too. It looks similar to a non-rebreather mask but contains a two-way valve between the mask and reservoir bag. The valve allows some of your breath back into the reservoir bag.
