The first batch of 1,700 invasive ventilators, including 1,500 VFS-410 and 200 VFS-510 ventilators are gradually handed over to the Ministry of Health as of August 7.

In particular, with its compact and compact advantages, the VFS-410 can be equipped for ambulances or emergencies in the field, hospitals, according to Bao Da Nang. |
