Description of Event or Problem · 1

THE PINS WERE BENT ON THIS MONITOR DUE TO THE PINS ON THE PHILIPS MMS MODULE. THE BENT PINS CAUSE THE MONITOR TO BE INOPERABLE. THIS SITUATION PRESENTS THE POTENTIAL FOR PATIENT SAFETY ISSUES, AS HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS NEED ACCESS TO IMMEDIATE MONITORING OF UNSTABLE PATIENTS THAT ARE BROUGHT TO CRITICAL CARE AREAS. THE BIOMEDICAL TECHNICIAN REPLACED THE NECESSARY COMPONENTS, TESTED THE DEVICE, AND RETURNED IT TO SERVICE. THE DEVICE IS AVAILABLE FOR ONSITE EVALUATION AT OUR FACILITY. QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO THE BIOMEDICAL DIRECTOR.
