Arjo received a copy of medwatch report (uf report # (b)(4)) in which was indicated that a patient fell from a citadel plus bed and was found on the floor by the nurse with detached endotracheal tube.After the fall, the patient was connected to a bag valve mask and breaths were manually administered.The patient was lifted to a gurney and transported for stats computed tomography.No fractures were noted.The customer¿s representative noted in the report that it is unknown how the patient fell from the bed.The patient was deeply sedated and paralyzed.The radiologist who was in the room 15 minutes before the event stated that they put the side rail up before leaving the room.The side rails were found to be in down position when the patient laid on the floor.Side rail functionality could not be verified due to lack of access to the involved device.It was quarantined by the customer for their internal investigation and is not available for further arjo evaluation.The patient fell from the arjo device therefore the device played a role in the event.It is unknown if the bed met its specification because it was not available for arjo inspection.The complaint was assessed as reportable due to indication about the patient¿s fall resulted in the serious injury.H3 other text: lack of client consent.
