Not without some electronics to go along with it. It's designed "old-school." (Of course, I'm going by the info posted here. I haven't actually seen a Ventilator. But the wiring makes sense.)

I'm assuming that each switch has (at least) three contacts and can be wired as a SPDT switch. Momentary switches will NOT work; it must be the push-push style --
