Chinese ventilators could not be used in Hungary
Hungarian hospitals struggled with fuming, incompatible Chinese ventilators.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs bought thousands of ventilators from China, but when experts saw the devices, they came to concerning conclusions, writes Direkt36, a highly respected and prestigious investigative journalism center in Hungary. As the machines ordered from the far-away country were unknown in Hungary before, technicians were much needed to inspect the machines.
They concluded that some of the devices would have required additional disposable or wearing parts, unavailable in Hungary. There were ventilators, which did not have compatible connectors or adaptors. Other ventilators lacked CE certification or the software running on them was unknown. There were instances when healthcare professionals had ventilators that they managed to set to English, at best. There was a hospital where the ventilators were connected, but then smoke emerged.

The investigative journalism center also found out that many of the ventilators have not been used yet. If a ventilator breaks down, it is replaced by another one. The contracts with the Chinese partners were unfavourable as well. In almost every case, the full price was paid in advance. Many times the ventilators were transported to airports in Hong Kong, Beijing or Shanghai, and reclamations should have been made within 2 days up to a week. There is a contract that states that there is no refund for the down payment. There are contracts, however, where a warranty for 12 months is included.
Issues with the ventilators raised concerns in the United Kingdom as well.
The Guardian wrote that the Chinese ventilators were “unsuitable for use in hospitals and potentially dangerous for patients”. The British newspaper reported that some doctors even wrote to Health Secretary Matt Hancock to express their concern. “We believe that if used, significant patient harm, including death, is likely.” – The Guardian quoted from the letter that NBC News managed to obtain. Technical staff spent days making the ventilators work, with no success.

Typical Orbánistan story…
Vote this criminal gang out, Hungarians.
Corruption again like everything with Fidesz.
Wait. Death? Weren’t the Chinese solutions (Sinopharm, machines) supposed to make us safer? Ahead of the Brussels mafia curve? I follow Orban’s Facebook! He was very clear! Hungary First!
Expanding media reports of the present Governments “deals” purchasing the un-approved, by EU and World Authorities that specialize in approving VACCINES – for Human injection needs and purpose – with China & Russia.
DNA article 23rd December – Excellent read titled – “Secret Documents Reveal – concerns About Sputnix V and Sinopharm Vaccines”.
This article – “blows” and wider opening – in the growing evidence – the “Deals” and background to “Deals” that China & Russia – are PARTNERS – in – being undertaken and conducted – by the present Government of Hungary.
The “Muddy Waters” continue to get Darker, Deeper and Widening – in the “Deals” undertaken by our present Government – in the acquiring and purchasing arrangements of these “Lolly Water” vaccines – from China & Russia.
The present Government – remember – purchased a massive Cargo Plane mid this year 2021 – to enable somewhat a direct flight route from China to Hungary – predominetly to ensure Hungarians got the Chinese “Lolly Water” injection – fast tracked.
We got – fast tracked – what 1.5 million of us – with this Chinese “Lolly Water” – that still is NOT – by the EXPERTS – Approved.
China – do the sums – look at the Daily John Hopkins Medical Statistical Figures – what China Report is a Blantant – Fabrication of Truth.
Population = 1.5 Billion.
Total Deaths = 4.636.
Active Cases = 1823.
It was announced to the World – or “sneaked” out, but it did hit International Media – as it SHOULD – region of China = Xian – 13 million population – PLACED – in total lock-down.
Old Ganz Works – Chinatown – Kobanya utca – could be a 2 Dollar shop – these obvious pieces of inferior supposed devices, that designed by the Chinese to Save Lives – ha ha – paid for by MASSIVE amounts of Hungarian tax payers – possible – are there may end up there – For Sale.
Examples backed by respected evidence likened to the Cargo Plane & “Lolly Water” Vaccines – the “Plot” thickens – and evidence GROWS – the Hungarian Government – the EXTENT – of there arrangements – with China & Russia – that expands FAR beyond Financial & Economic arrangents – how Deep and Broad -throughout the present Government – is this – Decit of Behaviour – Unscrupulous and Dishonesty of Behaviour – with China & Russia ???
