It was reported that the facility went live with pca modules on (b)(6) 2018; on that day, the nurse (super user) initiated an unspecified pca infusion without difficulty.The next day, as the nurse was moving the iv pole the pca shut off and a channel error code 511.2010 was noticed on the pcu.When the pca was turned back on and the iv pole was moved again, the same issue occurred.As the iv pole was moved the 3rd time, the pca turned off; however in all 3 instances when the pca turned off, the lvp continued to infuse.At this time the pca was replaced with a 2nd pca module, and as the iv pole was moved, the pca shut off and a channel error code 511.2010 again scrolled across the pcu.As a consequence, due to the lack of delivery of pain medication, the patient experienced an increase in pain level.The pca module was taken to the utility room and tested with a new pcu and there were no issues.Subsequent information provided by the customer 3rd party investigation stated that this was an etco2 related issue.
