As reported, during use with a patient using this ev1000 pump unit, after connecting the ev1000 monitor with a volumeview set to the patient and starting the measurements, the hospital¿s electrical alarm network was heard just after getting numbers on the monitor.The electrical department was called to investigate.At that time, an explosion on the pump unit was heard and there was fire from the pump unit.The ev1000 monitor was immediately disconnected from the main power supply and the system alarm stopped.Another ev1000 system was used to reconnect the volumeview already placed in the patient and everything worked.There was no allegation of patient injury.The device was available for evaluation.
