This was reported on the website of the department.
“Aventa-M ventilators were used to provide medical care to patients in the city clinical hospital named after S. I. Spasokukotsky in Moscow and St. George’s Hospital in St. Petersburg, where the fires occurred on May 9 and 12,” the statement says.
Earlier it became known that Roszdravnadzor checks the quality and safety of ventilators in hospitals in Moscow and St. Petersburg, where there were fires.
On the morning of May 12, a fire occurred at the St. George's Hospital in St. Petersburg. Five people died. In late April, it was reported that this hospital was included in the list of medical institutions in the city, where beds for patients with a new coronavirus infection will be deployed.
After the fire, the head of the general resuscitation department Vladimir Sulima said that Aventa-M artificial ventilation apparatus (IVL), one of which, according to preliminary data, caught fire in the hospital, will not be used in the medical facility until the investigation is completed.
On May 9, one patient died as a result of a fire in a hospital in Moscow. Coronavirus patients were also treated at this medical facility.
