In may 2013 smiths medical received a complaint concerning a medfusion 4000 pump with thermal damage to the ac receptacle as a result of an electrical short. an in-depth investigation performed by a third-party laboratory concluded that an electrical short can occur when saline solution or other conductive fluids (ie. potassium chloride) enter the pump's ac power receptacle. when this happends sparking and/or flames accompanied by smoke may appear at the power receptacle. the pump and ac power cord are constructed of flame retardant materials therefore the sparks/flames extinguish within seconds.
