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.
