The rapid infuser has not been returned to belmont for investigation.The medwatch report stated that the rapid infuser "would not work" but no description of the error was provided.A review of the manufacturing records could not be completed, as the serial number was not made available.No patient injury was reported; the unit was replaced with another rapid infuser and was used without issues.It was reported that the hospital biomed evaluated the unit and was unable to reproduce the problem.Without additional information, it is difficult to determine what occurred in this case.Belmont has contacted the initial reporter to obtain details about the incident but has not yet received a response.Should additional information become available, a supplemental report will be provided.
