Giorgos Mazonakis: The blood-drawing machine kept sounding alarms one after another, and Gaka kept pressing the reset button

The Hellenic Police investigation has now accurately reconstructed how the machine operated on that critical day
ALPHANEWSLIVE


Police officers investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of Giorgos Mazonakis now have access to a detailed digital timeline of the plasma removal machine’s operation, with the data shedding light on the critical steps from the start of preparations through the system’s successive warnings.

According to the Hellenic Police investigation and information from protothema.gr, the machine was activated at 2:14 p.m., although the blood transfusion with the patient had not yet begun at that time. It should be noted that, according to the information available to the Hellenic Police, including the statement from the taxi driver who transported the singer, Giorgos Mazonakis is said to have entered the clinic between 1:50 p.m. and 2:00 p.m.

Nine minutes after the machine was turned on, the system’s first alarm was recorded. According to the researchers’ analysis of the data, this specific indicator may be linked either to a problem with the tubing—such as a kink in a tube—or to a change in the patient’s blood pressure.

The actual start of the procedure—that is, the blood exchange—is recorded at 2:37 p.m. From that point on, the most critical part of the timeline begins.

This specific time is particularly significant, as it now serves as objective digital evidence of when the treatment began and is added to the rest of the data from the cameras, photographs, statements, and electronic records.

At 3:22 p.m., the first critical pause is recorded. The machine stops performing the blood exchange.

This is the specific point in time on which the investigation is particularly focused, as from that point onward the system began recording a series of warnings. Authorities are investigating exactly what happened to the patient at that specific moment and what actions were taken inside the clinic.

By 3:45 p.m., according to the retrieved data, the machine recorded three more alarms. According to the police investigation, these alarms are linked to the absence of a heartbeat.

This finding is of exceptional importance to the investigation, as police are attempting to determine exactly when the singer’s condition took a serious turn for the worse and how the doctors present reacted.

The most critical new detail concerns what appears to have happened at 3:45 p.m. According to information from protothema.gr, after repeated alarms, the machine was once again instructed to start operating. However, the system immediately shut down on its own.

This specific digital trail is being examined with particular care, as the authorities want to determine exactly what the machine was detecting at that moment and why it effectively prevented the process from continuing.

The question now is what condition Giorgos Mazonakis was in when the attempt to restart his heart was made, and what information the doctors already had at their disposal.

The timeline that must “align” with the call to EKA

This new information adds to the already known fact that the call to EKAΒ was made at 4:11 p.m.

Thus, 49 minutes elapsed between the first interruption of treatment at 3:22 p.m. and the call for emergency assistance, and in the meantime, the machine repeatedly recorded alarms and one failed restart attempt at 3:45 p.m.

The complete timeline is as follows:

2:14 p.m.: The machine is activated. At this point, George Mazonakis has not yet been connected for blood exchange.

2:23 p.m.: The first alarm is recorded. According to the assessment conducted as part of the investigation, such an indication may point to either a problem with the tubing or an issue with the patient’s blood pressure.

2:37 p.m.: The actual blood exchange process begins, and the treatment enters its main phase.

15:22: The first pause in treatment is recorded. From this point on, the machine stops delivering blood.

From 15:22 to 15:45: The system records a total of three new alarms, which, according to the investigation’s findings, are linked to the absence of a heartbeat.

3:45 p.m.: An attempt is made to restart the machine.

Immediately after 3:45 p.m.: The machine shuts down on its own almost immediately after being restarted.

4:11 p.m.: The ambulance service (EKAV) is called, 49 minutes after the first interruption of treatment at 3:22 p.m.
