Repairs of the «Atlanta» Artificial Lung Ventilation Machine

This Artificial Lung Ventilation machine is used of newborns during surgery at the Pediatric Department of the Institute of Neurosurgery :((
In the last couple of year these machines break more and more often. The Institute does not get new equipment and fixing the old machines is getting more and more expensive…
This spring we had to fix this machine’s «twin brother» from the Pediatric ICU. Now the one from the OR. The indicators turned off and stopped responding to any actions.
There is no service center for this kind of equipment in Kiev. The machine was packed and sent to Kharkiv for the diagnostic tests. We have recently received the invoice for the repairs.
12,000 UAH… $468…
