These medical machines are no doubt incredibly complex, and that means it's likely going to take independent experts experienced with these devices to get to the bottom of what went wrong. It's possible the machine was defective. This may have just been a freak, unavoidable accident. It's also possible that this facility failed to follow industry-standard safety procedures. Maybe a new or poorly trained employee made a mistake. At the end of the day, this is likely far beyond the scope of a typical police investigation. Hopefully steps are being taken to put the incident in the right hands.
