MOSCOW - Moscow has begun investigating the safety of a Russian-made medical ventilator, some of which have been sent to the United States though not used, after six people died in hospital fires reported to involve two such machines.

A similar fire - caused by the same model of ventilator, according to a law enforcement source speaking to TASS - killed one person in a hospital in Moscow on Saturday. The machines were delivered to New York and New Jersey, the US states hardest hit by the virus, but"the flattening curve meant these ventilators were not needed," she said.

"We have no official data about which devices were installed in the zone of the fire," a spokeswoman added.
