The equipment included 2 high-quality Puritan Bennett 840 ventilators made by a US Group. These are two specialized ventilators in emergency resuscitation, widely used in central and provincial hospitals.

Currently, this testing system is being managed and used by the Dong Nai Center for Disease Control, effectively contributing to the prevention and control of the COVID-19 pandemic in the area over the past time.
So far, the Sonadezi Corporation and its member units have contributed and donated more than VND7.5 billion of medical machinery and equipment for the prevention and control of the COVID-19 pandemic. A Sonadezi Coorporation’s leader said that the corporation will continue to actively accompany Dong Nai Province and the health sector in pandemic prevention and control and care for people's health. In the near future, it is expected to provide the Dong Nai General Hospital 2,000 rapid tests for SARS-CoV-2 virus./.
