I’m writing to you under the Freedom of Information Act (2000) to request information on the usage of certain types of Ventilator within your Trust, based on the models acquired during the ventilator challenge specifically relating to:
a. The Penlon ventilators,
b. The Breas Ventilators,
c. The Smiths Medical Ventilators,
d. The CPAP non-invasive units.
I’d like to know, if possible:
1. How many of the various invasive models were used within your trust vs how many were ordered (the Penlon units being the most important with regards to this).
2. The cost per unit breakdown.
3. The survival / rates of recovery for those ventilated.
4. Has there been an uptake in the non-invasive units for the second wave of battling the pandemic.
