A cardiac catheterization lab at University of Maryland Upper Chesapeake Medical Center in Bel Air suffered major damage after an electrical fire, according to a Baltimore Sun article.
The lab is not expected to be fully operational for at least a month, a hospital spokesperson said.
The fire caused an estimated $700,000 in damage, mostly to equipment. No injuries were reported and there was no structural damage to the building.
The fire originated in a utility room used to house specialty equipment for the lab.
The investigators have determined the fire was the result of an electrical failure within the power supply to the cath lab table.
