The hospital unleashed its White plan.
"The situation is currently under control but will be degraded for several hours," the statement said.
The patients, who had been welcomed in these services "were directed to surrounding establishments with prior information from the families".
The CHBA has 3,590 agents, including 290 practitioners and 86 interns, and recorded around 74,000 emergency room visits last year, according to its website.
At the end of September, the Brest hospital had also canceled the interventions due to a computer failure.
Patients could no longer be received in the emergency room, and those on site were redirected to other establishments.
Hospitalizations were suspended except for vital emergencies.
The next day, the hospital gradually resumed its care.
