Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
When power cord defects or damage contributes to device-related incidents, crucial information about the cord and/or plug (e.g., manufacturer, details of damage) is often not included in incident reports. To facilitate the investigation of these events--which frequently pose a risk of shock or fire--ECRI Institute is asking hospitals to include cord and plug details when reporting the incidents to us, to device manufacturers, and to regulatory agencies. |
