On October 26, 2023, at 7:30AM, laboratory personnel and a veterinary technician entered a baboon room in response to hearing an intravenous (IV) pump alarm. When they entered the room, an unresponsive baboon was identified in its enclosure. Upon identifying the baboon, the laboratory personnel attempted to resuscitate the animal, with no success. After review of the surveillance footage, it appeared that the baboon was able to access the IV line at 3:30AM and laid down at 3:59AM. The baboon was in the same position when the laboratory personnel entered the room at 7:30AM. The IV pump and line were reviewed by the laboratory personnel and it was determined that the baboon was able to pull the IV line into the enclosure and bite it. The bite created a leak in the IV line which caused the animal to exsanguinate. The tape used to hold the IV line was no longer secure and allowed the baboon to access to the IV line. Handling of all animals shall be done as expeditiously and carefully as possible in a manner that does not cause trauma, overheating, excessive cooling, behavioral stress, physical harm, or unnecessary discomfort. Corrected at the time of inspection through corrective action plan with Veterinary Resources clinical veterinarian.
