The suction irrigator was attached to a 3000 ml bag of normal saline.It started leaking into the battery compartment.It was a fire hazard since the batteries were hot after removing it from the compartment.The actual saline bag was not leaking.However, it was noticed that the fluid from the bag was leaking into the battery compartment of suction irrigator so the suction irrigator was faulty.The bag itself had no holes and was okay.Suction irrigators are manufactured by stryker company.It is a one-time use (disposable) so clinical engineering was not notified.
