Hazard report. Hospitals should begin removing certain Electri-Cord power cords from service.
Some power cords manufactured by Electri-Cord Manufacturing may be susceptible to failure in the healthcare setting, posing a risk of shocks, burns, fires, or device failures. We believe hospitals should remove these cords-which are supplied with equipment from a variety of medical device manufacturers-from service. The removal process should not be done all at once but should be carried out over time, making sure that the process does not impede patient care.
