Investigation outcome: it was reported that on january 20, 2026, at approximately 04:08 (or earlier), a respiratory therapist (rt) experienced an electrical shock while holding the "handle" (confirmed to be the trolley handle).The device was reportedly actively ventilating a patient at the time and was described as running on battery power.Bystanders reportedly heard a loud ¿zap.¿ the rt reportedly received emergency medical care following the incident.The reporter noted ambient weather conditions were in the negative single-digit °f range at the time of the event.The device was replaced as a result of this complaint.Per review of device logs, out of tolerance voltage was noted on 24v_ps.Additional information provided by the biomed includes an electrical leakage measurement performed after the event: leakage measured from the co2 connection while on ac power was reported as 6 ¿a.Compared with the manual¿s values, 6 ¿a = 0.006 ma, which is far below 0.1 ma equipment leakage reference (setup for hamilton-t1 with communication board installed).Additional information was received that the rt was admitted to the emergency department and "still experiencing numbness in finger tip(s)." the customer was advised to perform the full iec 62353 electrical safety test set per the t1 service manual (section 7), documenting results as reference values.Additional information was received from the customer that they were intending to perform the testing, but no further information was provided after multiple attempts.This case is considered as closed.
