Following receipt of the complaint, belmont's national sales manager and director of r&d and engineering visited the hospital and met with the hospital biomed.The unit was observed and it was determined that the source was the power cord and not the unit itself.The c19 connector was incinerated, which was the source of the soot covering the back of the system.It was noted that there was lint, dried saline, and debris inside the intake air openings.The unit was opened and there was no damage noted to the internal components.The system was subsequently turned on in battery mode, as the power cord was compromised.The unit powered up normally and all the key features were within specification.The manufacturing records for this serial number were reviewed and nothing notable was found.The routine maintenance schedule provided in the operator's manual instructs the user: "inspect the fan guards, on the bottom of the unit, for debris that might impede air flow.Remove guards by unscrewing the 4 retaining screws and clean, with soap and water, if necessary.Make certain the guards are not damaged.Let the fan guards dry before reinstalling." it was reported that there was no injury to the patient.Should additional information become available, a supplemental report will be submitted accordingly.
