UK Doctors Say Ventilators From China Would Harm, Kill Patients
Over 10 countries reporting faulty medical equipment

Doctors in the UK have sounded the alarm after 250 ventilators from China appeared to be defective, and could potentially harm–and even kill–patients suffering from the deadly coronavirus.
The Shangrila 510 model ventilators, made by Chinese firm Beijing Aeonmed Co. Ltd., were revealed to have been designed for ambulances rather than hospitals.
As a result, the oxygen supply delivered to patients proved to be inadequate and the devices were difficult to clean properly.
 
Moreover, the breathing machines were also confusing to use with a hard-to-follow instruction manual.
According to The Daily Mail, doctors from the Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust said that the machines could provoke “significant patient harm including death” if used in a hospital.
In a statement from a letter published at NBC News, the medical professionals said: “We believe that if used, significant patient harm, including death, is likely.
“We look forward to the withdrawal and replacement of these ventilators with devices better able to provide intensive care ventilation for our patients.”
NBC News further reported:
The doctors said that the ventilator’s oxygen supply was “variable and unreliable” and that its build quality was “basic.” Its fabric case could not be cleaned properly — essential when fighting a highly infectious virus — and it arrived with a “non-E.U.” oxygen connection hose.
As well as these serious concerns about the quality of the ventilators, they said part of the reason they were unsafe was because the devices were unfamiliar to British doctors and unsuitable for use in the current crisis.
The UK is one of several countries to report faulty or inadequate medical equipment sent from China since the beginning of the global pandemic.
The UK attempted to seek a refund from China for defective coronavirus tests. The companies which allegedly sent the malfunctioning equipment may not have existed in the first place–leaving the UK taxpayer $20 million out of pocket.
In a viral video, a French nurse demonstrates equipment from China disintegrating as she dons them. Another video showed a Chinese factory worker laugh as he rubbed facemasks ready for dispatch on his shoes.

Why would any country purchase anything from China after so many products including baby formula, toothpaste, dog food from communist China has killed people around the world including their own people.   How many more people have to die?? Why slavery condemned but permitted in China and other places around the world.  It is immoral and a crime against humanity to keep doing business with these communists.

Because money hungry coroporations outsourced to the cheapest source. Read the book China RX. Most of our medicines and medical equipment are made in China.

Defective ventilators sourced from China could cause death, UK doctors say: Report

Hospitals and doctors in the U.K. were stunned to discover that ventilators the country had sourced from China could cause significant harm or even death to patients, the Washington Examiner reported Thursday.
The killer ventilators from China stack up as yet another faulty product being sourced from the communist regime to fight COVID-19 — a disease that is believed to have originated in a central city there.

Unsafe machines
Senior doctors in the U.K. are sounding the alarm about the defects they have discovered, and it seems it would be prudent for hospitals around the world to check Chinese ventilators.
According to a statement from doctors, roughly 250 imported ventilators were found to be seriously unsafe for patient use. “We believe that if used, significant patient harm, including death, is likely,” they wrote, according to NBC News.

Specifically, doctors pointed out that the ventilators in some cases provided a fluctuating amount of oxygen to patients. “We look forward to the withdrawal and replacement of these ventilators with devices better able to provide intensive care ventilation for our patients,” they said, NBC reported.
Doctors also complained of the cloth structure of the ventilators that prevented them from being properly sanitized. Further issues arose when it became difficult for doctors to understand the manuals for the machines.

Defective products
This is a scary situation for health care workers and patients alike. Medical equipment sourced from China has been found to have widespread and prevalent issues.
The Netherlands discovered hundreds of thousands of imported Chinese face masks were defective and had to recall them, Euronews reported.

Austria also had issues with Chinese face masks, the Examiner noted. China is even exporting test kits that either don’t work at all or are misleading, the Los Angeles Times alleges.
Governments around the world have spent millions on defective products, the Times said.
This has led some to speculate on what kind of consequences China will face over its shoddy quality control. It wouldn’t be unfair to say that the nation’s communist regime has taken advantage of this crisis.
Clearly, China has a lot of work to do if it wants to regain the trust of the world.

I posted a article earlier last week that showed results of a study in NYC ventilators resulted in 80% of patients deaths.
