Event Description

A fresenius field service technician (fst) was called onsite to evaluate a 2008t machine located at a hospital¿s hemodialysis (hd) unit. There was reported to be an outlet fire that melted the power plug of the machine. The reported event occurred during a patient¿s treatment on the machine. Additional information was obtained during follow up with the unit¿s biomedical technician (biomed). The biomed stated the machine powered off during the patient¿s treatment and a subsequent burning smell was noted by the registered nurse (rn) who was on duty. Hospital maintenance was called to the scene after the burning smell was noted. The rn unplugged the power cord and plugged the machine into a different outlet. Shortly afterwards, the rn noticed that the outlet the power supply was removed from was aflame. Hospital maintenance was at the scene at this point, and they blew out the flame. There was no smoke reported and the smoke detectors did not go off. Due to the situation, the patient was disconnected, and their treatment was ended. The patient was evacuated from the room. The biomed confirmed the patient did not experience any adverse effects due to the reported event, and no medical intervention was required. Maintenance removed the outlet and examined the wiring behind it to ensure there were no additional issues; none were found. The biomed stated that a fresenius fst came onsite to evaluate the machine. Prior to the start of the fst¿s machine inspection, the hospital¿s legal department decided they wanted an independent third party to perform the assessment. The fresenius fst was asked to postpone their evaluation of the machine until the third-party inspection was completed. According to the biomed, the outlet was the cause of the problem, not the machine or the power plug. The biomed stated there was no internal damage on the power plug; the damage was exclusively on the exterior of the plug. There were no other damaged components found, and though it was short-lived, the treatment was continued from a different outlet using the same power supply and plug. At the time of follow up, the third-party inspection was reportedly scheduled. The biomed stated that a copy of the results from the inspection would be shared once they are received. The biomed said the machine is up to date on its preventive maintenance (pm) checks, and confirmed the machine has no previous history of failing the electrical leakage test. The machine was out of service at the time of follow-up.
