Manufacturer Narrative

H.10: during the investigation performed by the manufacturer it was confirmed that one pin of the mains connector was exposed to large heat.The heat effect took place with high probability from the outside over the pin to the inside.From an electrical point of view, the plug and the cable were in good conditions, thus, no damage except for the fused point on the plug.The cause of the damage was very likely a faulty hospital wall outlet.
