Biomed was called to the repair a c-arm at a remote clinic.We identified that the power supply was faulty.After investigating what on the power supply failed, we opened up the metal case of the power supply.(by force as this is not a case meant to be opened.) we found the battery had caught fire.(picture attached to this report) we called the vendor and asked if this battery was meant to be replaced.They stated it was not part of a pm.It served as a backup in case of power loss, much like a ups.Our unit was approximately 5 years old.
