Dear Burning: Tell the parents of these kids exactly
what you have told me. They need to hear it. Children
who are like loose cannons on a rolling deck are un-

up. If they don’t do it, invite the parents for evening af-
fairs and make it clegr that their children are not in-

WINNIPEG (CP) — When
hospitals and doctors ignore
what they consider minor
probleris with medical equip-
ment, the results can be
deadly for patients.

That’s one of the problems
that Dr. Agit Das Gupta is
trying to solve as director of
the federal government's
seven-year-old bureau of
medical devices.

Das Gupta said people
worked about anesthetic
equipment or other medical
devices used in hospitals and
clinics often don't know
where to complain.

“Unfortunately, we are not
well known and we don’t get
as many reports as we like,”
Das Gupta said in a telephone
interview from his office in
Ottawa.

The bureau found serious
problems last year with 187
medical devices, mostly in
hospitals. They resulted in 22
deaths, 104 permanent injur-
ies and 32 temporary
injuries. Twenty-nine devices
produced false results.

CITES PATIENT
INTEREST

“I don’t want to point a
finger at the hospitals and
say, ‘Why don’t you report
that?’, but one of the reasons
they don’t report is because
of the said Das
Gupta. “Not bothering in my
view is not fair to the
patient.

“You and me go into a
hospital with complete faith
in all that gadgetry that is
around us. I'd hate to lose
that faith.”

Das Gupta said a single
report can lead to identifica-
tion of a problem. Often it’s
only after the bureau has
sent a medical alert across
Canada, that more of the
same complaints come in,
mainly from hospitals.

“You wonder why only one
person took the initiative to
pick up the phone and give us
a call,” he said. “If there is a
serious lethal device, you

deadly

would expect dozens of com-
plaints come in, mainly from
hospitals.

“You wonder why only one
person took the initiative to
pick up the phone and give us
acall,” he said. “If there is a
serious lethal device, you
would expect dozens of com-
plaints.”

Das Gupta said of approxi-
mately 200 complaints re-
ceived by the bureau last
year, all but about 10 were
legitimate.

“Our problem is not deal-
ing with false complaints. We
know of more problems than
are reported to us.”

NEED CO-OPERATION

Das Gupta said cé-
operation from hospitals is
important because com-
plaints may involve equip-
ment vital to patients’ lives,
The bureau has become in-
volved in working with
equipment manufacturers on
safety issues, but focusses on
critical problems with
equipment currently in use.

Earlier this year, there
was a recall ordered across
Canada on several lots of a
certain type of oxygen mask
that was being used on
patients in hospital wards. It
had been found that 60 per
cent of that type of oxygen
masks were _ partially
blocked, and 10 per cent were
totally blocked.

Other items recently re-
called were pregnancy kits
that gave faulty results 75
per cent of the time, and
denture liners. used by den-
tists across Canada.

Vic Warkentin, chief of
inspections for the bureau in
Manitoba and Saskatchewan,
said hospitals and doctors are
being encouraged to report
suspicions about any medical
device.

He said at first there was
some reluctance to report,
for fear the fault might lie
with the operator rather than

“When we got into it, we
thought a 40-per-cent success

an 80-per-cent success rate.”

Shorkay'a firm received
