據(jù)芝加哥論壇報報道，法庭記錄顯示，一位前醫(yī)療器械銷售代表在從芝加哥東部一家醫(yī)院偷走價值40000美元的手術(shù)設(shè)備，因被監(jiān)控錄像拍下被捕。

法庭記錄顯示，芝加哥35歲的邁克爾·J·曼加諾（Michael J.Mangano）周三在蘇必利爾湖（Lake Superior Court）被指控犯有盜竊罪，這是一項6級重罪，與上個月圣凱瑟琳醫(yī)院失蹤的三個外科醫(yī)療設(shè)備有關(guān)。

4月26日，外科主任報告說他們在醫(yī)院找不到病房。根據(jù)證詞，主任還說“類似的外科設(shè)備已經(jīng)從蒙斯特的社區(qū)醫(yī)院被盜”。

該證詞稱，這些手術(shù)設(shè)備價值約4萬美元，“在手術(shù)中用于燒灼，每天都用于醫(yī)院的手術(shù)?！?/p>

據(jù)證詞顯示，監(jiān)控錄像顯示，4月20日，前醫(yī)療設(shè)備銷售代表曼加諾從醫(yī)院偷走走了這三個設(shè)備。證詞稱，在盜竊發(fā)生時，他穿著“醫(yī)院器械銷售代表通常穿的衣服”。

據(jù)證詞顯示，一名醫(yī)院工作人員說，她**后一次見到曼加諾是在2018年。證詞宣誓書上說，他“知道手術(shù)室的位置和手術(shù)室的面積”。法庭記錄稱，曼加諾沒有得到帶走這些物品的許可。

該證詞稱，肯塔基州一名外科和醫(yī)療設(shè)備供應(yīng)商的雇員告訴警方，“他的公司購買了上述被盜的電外科動力裝置”。

former sales representative was captured on surveillance video taking $40,000 worth of surgical equipment from an East Chicago hospital, according to court records.

Michael J. Mangano, 35, of Chicago, was charged Wednesday in Lake Superior Court with theft, a level 6 felony, in connection with three surgical equipment units that went missing from St. Catherine Hospital last month, court records show.

On April 26, the director of surgical services reported that they couldn’t find the units in the hospital, a probable cause affidavit states. The director also said “that similar surgical equipment units had been stolen” from Community Hospital in Munster, according to the affidavit.

The surgical units, which were valued at about $40,000, “are used for cauterizing during surgeries and are used everyday in their surgeries at the hospital,” the affidavit states.

Surveillance video showed Mangano, a former medical equipment sales representative, taking the three units from the hospital on April 20, according to the affidavit. At the time of the theft, he was wearing clothing “typically worn by sales representatives at the hospital,” the affidavit states.

A hospital staff member said she last saw Mangano at the hospital in 2018, according to the affidavit.. He “knew the location of the operating rooms and the operating room area,” the affidavit states. Mangano did not have permission to take the items, court records state.

An employee with a surgical and medical equipment supplier in Kentucky told police that “his business purchased one of the above stolen electrosurgical power units,” the affidavit states.
