Doctors who find equipment send a letter to raise a problem.
“If you use this equipment, you are at risk for patients.”
“For ambulances, not for hospital use, below standards”


In the UK, it was warned that Chinese ventilators could put patients at risk. It means that you can use a respirator to save people, but rather kill people.

NBC News of the United States, Telegraph of the United Kingdom and others, on the 30th of last month (local time) said: “Dozens of ‘unreliable’ fans imported from China could cause serious harm to patients, including death. Delivered

“Doctors believe that if the equipment is used, it will cause serious harm to the patient, including death, if the equipment is used,” said NBC News, which had obtained only a five-page letter submitted by doctors from the NHS (National Health Services) of Sandwell and West Birmingham. “I said,” he said. In the letter, doctors noted that “there is a problem with the oxygen supply and it is difficult to clean properly,” and “the design is unfamiliar and the documentation is ambiguous.” In particular, the ventilator was also used for ambulances, not hospitals.

NBC News said: “Since March, in response to the coronavirus pandemic, many countries have been trying to buy large quantities of medical equipment from China, but many are defective or unsuitable.”

Earlier, British government official Michael Gove said on the 4th of last month: “We have secured 300 fans in China” and said: “Thanks to the Chinese government.” However, the problem was reported by doctors who received the product just nine days later. “The fan is not currently in use,” said Telegraph.

The price of the troubled Shangri-La 510 at Beijing Ion Med is £ 2,300 per unit (about 3.5 million won). A total of approximately 700,000 pounds (approximately 1.60 billion won) wasted on 300 units.

NHS physician Ron Daniel told Telegraph, “He appears to have made a hasty decision to prioritize public awareness and number.”
