The Boston (MA) Globe “White Coat Notes” blog reports, “Alarms on cardiac monitors, infusion pumps and ventilators, which are meant to protect patients, have been named the most hazardous technology in hospitals by an organization that tracks problems with medical devices.” Recently, “ECRI Institute, a nonprofit independent research organization in Pennsylvania…published its list of top ten health technology hazards for 2012. Alarms have been on the list for several years, but moved back into the no. 1 slot.”
