Technician walked away, alarm went off again, there were several technicians within earshot but failed to respond, were to preoccupied with closing down to go home.

Medical malpractice can occur at any point in the diagnosis and treatment course. For example, the wrong chart could be placed at your hospital bedside, resulting in you being given medication that you are allergic to that causes serious harm or even death.
With your situation a more thorough and detailed fact analysis must be conducted to (1) understand the case and (2) to pinpoint when/who was negligent during your care and/or medical procedure. This is a daunting/exhaustive stage but is critically important for many reasons (i.e. more than 1 negligent party, future health complications, etc.).
