A 49-minute period between the first alert from the hemodialysis machine and the call to the National Ambulance Service (EKAV) is now the focus of the investigation into the death of Giorgos Mazonakis, as the digital data from the equipment used at the Kolonaki clinic allow authorities to reconstruct with much greater precision the events of that fateful afternoon.
According to the latest information from protothema.gr, the blood-drawing procedure began at 2:37 p.m.
At 3:22 p.m., the first alert was recorded, and, as indicated by the data being analyzed, treatment appears to have stopped at that point. Other alerts from the machine followed: one at 3:23 p.m. and then two more at 3:45 p.m.
The call to EKAΒ, however, was logged at 4:11 p.m.
Based on this evidence, the central question of the investigation now shifts to what exactly happened inside the clinic from 3:22 p.m., when the first alarm signal appeared, until 4:11 p.m., when an ambulance was finally called.

The Critical Timeline
The sequence of events, as reconstructed from the information available so far, is as follows:
2:37 p.m.: The hemodialysis procedure begins.
3:22 p.m.: The machine records the first alert. At this specific point in time, it appears that treatment is interrupted.
3:23 p.m.: A new alert is recorded.
3:45 p.m.: The machine issues two more alerts.
4:11 p.m.: A call is made to the emergency medical services (EKAV).
This means that 49 minutes elapsed between the first alert and the call to the ambulance service.

This time interval is now considered one of the most critical aspects of the case, as authorities are called upon to determine what the machine’s specific warnings meant, what the singer’s condition was at that time, what actions were taken by those present, and why help was not sought sooner.
According to the information currently under review, the call for emergency medical assistance should have been made as soon as the first alert appeared at 3:22 p.m. This very point is expected to be a critical focus of the investigative inquiry.
The machine recorded the critical moment
A new dimension to the case emerged when authorities began analyzing the data stored on the dialysis machine itself. According to a report by protothema.gr, the equipment even recorded the exact moment when Giorgos Mazonakis’s heart stopped beating, even though the machine had already been in operation for quite some time beforehand.
The investigation revealed, however, that there is a discrepancy of about half an hour between the internal time displayed by the machine and the actual time. For this reason, the police cross-referenced the time records to determine the actual times of the events.
This process revealed that the machine actually began operating at 2:37 p.m., despite the fact that photographic evidence showed the machine displaying a different time.
What Did the Alerts Mean?
The focus of the investigation now falls on the machine’s alerts. Authorities are examining the type and content of these specific alerts in order to determine exactly what the machine detected and how serious the situation was at that moment.
The crucial issue is not simply that alerts were triggered, but how the doctors responded to them and what happened in the minutes that followed.
Protothema.gr had already revealed that the machine’s alarms had gone off repeatedly, indicating that there was a problem with the patient, while the second doctor was also present in the examination room.
The photo taken at 2:45 p.m.
Another piece of evidence that has now been added to the timeline is the photo recovered from Ioanna Gaka’s cell phone. According to protothema.gr, the photo was reportedly taken around 2:45 p.m., that is, a few minutes after the actual start of the treatment at 2:37 p.m., and it shows Giorgos Mazonakis on the plasmapheresis machine.
The theory being considered is that this particular photo was taken for the clinic’s promotional purposes. This finding is of particular interest, as it provides yet another chronological reference point: the singer was on the machine just a few minutes after the procedure began.
Previous Contradictions in the Case File
This new information adds to the contradictions that the Hellenic Police had already noted in the case file. One of these concerns the length of time Mazonakis spent in the treatment area.
The doctor had initially claimed that the singer was there for only a very short time and that the machine had not yet been turned on. On the other hand, a clinic employee had testified that Mazonakis remained in that specific area for at least 45 minutes.
Now, the digital data from the machine itself has become particularly valuable as evidence, since it is not based on the memory or account of a witness, but on the equipment’s own records.
