That is just silly. To change the velocity of sound (which is what the
chipmunk voice is due to) requires a substantial fraction of the air be
Helium. In that case the problem would not have been Apple watches, the
problem would have been that everyone was passed out on the floor.
because there was not enough oxygen. 
Remember there was venting some of which leaked into the hospital. Ie
only a fraction of that 120 liters ended up in the atmosphere of the
hospital. And hopitals are typically very big buildings. Ie, the
fraction of He in the air was almost certainly at most a few percent.
Again, it is hard to see how that would have altered the frequency of
the mems by much. Maybe they are so sensitive to frequency changes.
Note that sticking a phone/watch into a bag and putting in He, would
have been a concentration of 50-100 % which is hardly the equivalent of
the hospital. 

This story sounds to me like and urban legend that has escaped from its
zoo.
