The rapid infuser, ri-2 involved in the incident has been returned to belmont medical technologies uk for evaluation.It was reported that the incident occurred during routine tests in the workshop; there was no patient involved.The operator's manual instructs the user to plug the system power cord into a dedicated-grounded, 3-prong, minimum 10 amp, ac receptacle, as the system can draw a significant fraction of the circuit capabilities and therefore cause the theatre breakers to trip when the line is shared.It is unclear whether the device was plugged into a dedicated outlet.Without results of the device investigation, it is not possible to establish a root cause at this time.A follow-up report will be submitted upon completion of the investigation.
