Event Description

The hospital biomed relayed the following report from the physician involving a rapid infuser, ri-2: "today in one of our cardiac rooms, we were infusing just normal saline at a rate of reported 2.5ml/min.While in use the belmont tripped the wall breaker, and tripped the internal breaker in the device itself.After several attempts of swapping power supply sources and trying to turn the device back on, both breakers continued to snap off.When i turned the device on without plugging the belmont into a wall power supply, the unit would stay on and not flip its internal breaker." the reported incident involved two ri-2 units.This report is for serial number (b)(4); a separate report will be entered for serial number (b)(4).
