Pt's pump was beeping; it appeared to be low battery.Upon plugging it in, however, the pump had a "very low battery" alert.The pt was taken to ct right afterward.Rn powered the pump down-> 5 (to restore) when he got back.When pt returned from ct, the ct tech asked rn to check the pump because the pt heard a popping sound in ct.Ct had used the left antecubital site for dye injection which was where this pump was infusing also.Upon inspection, there was leaking noted from the pump.The tubing was split by the blue piece that comes out of the top of the pump.The pump and tubing where removed from the pt to be replaced.The iv site was not affected and the pt appeared unharmed.
