Coronavirus: Hundreds of ventilators UK bought from China 'are wrong type and could kill patients if used' "We believe that if used, significant patient harm, including death, is likely," the letter from senior doctors says. Hundreds of ventilators the UK government bought from China to relieve a major shortage are the wrong type and could kill patients, senior doctors have warned in a newly uncovered letter. The medical staff behind the letter say the devices were designed for use in ambulances rather than hospitals, had an "unreliable" oxygen supply and were of "basic" quality. Seen by Sky News' partner organisation NBC, the document also claims the ventilators cannot be cleaned properly, are an unfamiliar design and come with a confusing instruction manual Cabinet Office minister Michael Gove triumphantly announced the arrival of "300 ventilators from China" to help treat COVID-19 patients on 4 April. But the letter of warning from doctors was issued just nine days later. "We believe that if used, significant patient harm, including death, is likely," it says "We look forward to the withdrawal and replacement of these ventilators with devices better able to provide intensive care ventilation for our patients." It said the machine had been designed for use inside an ambulance rather than beside a hospital bed, making it the wrong type altogether - leaving medics forced to create a makeshift stand using hospital trolleys. https://news.sky.com/story/coronavirus-hundreds-of-ventilators-uk-bought-from-china-are-wrong-type-and-could-kill-patients-if-used-11981290
