"YKHC didn't have to alert any patients or offer testing, given the low risk, officials said." 

 Who was the numb skull official who said the above?  I would think that type of a response would potentially result in a very 'high' risk for the hospital.....from a lawsuit.

I hope the technician who took the steps in reporting the contaminated equipment is properly recognized.  That, is a responsible person and an excellent employee.  Both the staff and the patients should be grateful.
