Delivering what matters where it matters.
What to do
- Stop using the machine if it is safe to do so for the patient.
- Unplug it at the wall.
- Label it “Do not use” so the next shift doesn’t use it.
- Report it to your maintenance department or to us.
Check cables regularly
- Look for cracks, cuts or burn marks on cables and plugs
- Make sure plugs fit firmly and don’t get warm
- Don’t run cables where trolleys and beds roll over them
- Never repair a cable with tape
