The customer contacted a siemens customer care center (ccc).A siemens customer service engineer (cse) was dispatched to the customer site.The cse removed the uninterruptible power supply (ups) from the advia 2120i hematology system with single aspirate autosampler.The cse verified that the advia 2120i hematology system with single aspirate autosampler was operational after removing the ups.The burning smell was emitted from the ups unit and not the advia 2120i hematology system with single aspirate autosampler.The ups unit contains two fuses which are designed to trip if there is a spike in power or an overload coming into the system.When these fuses are tripped there is normally an electrical smell associated and power coming in is cut-off.The cause of the event is the tripping of the fuses as designed.Siemens is investigating the cause of the electrical shock.
