Complainant alleges that the patient chewed on, and swallowed, "some" of the tech hub radio antenna cable, and chewed on and swallowed some or all of the cord for the humidity / temperature sensor.This happened after the patient accessed the wires stowed inside the body of the assembled tech hub.This sequence of events led to a hospital er visit, x-rays, sedation, nasogastric tube, surgical consultation, and medication.During the er visit, the patient vomited, "which produced a couple of the electrical cords and a plastic tag." the patient was admitted to the hospital for observation and discharged after one (1) day.Per patient's caregiver (mother), there have been no complaints of abdominal pain.The family may have seen indication of the natural passage of a "tiny" wire but said they couldn't determine whether fuller passage has happened.Mother states that the family doesn't currently have any particular plans for additional visit(s) to a physician for further related treatment.
