Problem occurred in an acute care hospital setting.It was reported to pso that interference with intravenous infusion device and also with the portable cardiac telemetry monitoring device occurred when the new hill-rom envella specialty high fluidized therapy bed is turned on and in use.This happened with 2 different pts and 2 different envella beds.The interference interrupted an infusion of blood to the pt.Once the iv machine was moved away from the bed and faced towards the window, the pt was able to continue receiving blood transfusion.This is the second report of malfunctioning pumps where an envella is present.Hill-rom has been notified and waiting to hear their action.
