The hillrom technician found the brake detent needed to be replaced.Per the hillrom service manual the affinity® three birthing bed and affinity® four birthing beds require an effective maintenance program.We recommend that you perform semiannual preventive maintenance.Check the tires for cuts, wear, tread life, etc.Apply the brake, and check to ensure that the bed will not move.If the bed moves, inspect it for wear, and adjust if required.Apply the steering pedal and check the steering to ensure proper locking action when activated.A search of the hillrom maintenance records did not show hillrom performed any preventative maintenance on this bed.It is unknown if the facility performs preventative maintenance on their beds.The technician replaced the brake detent to resolve the issue.Based on this information, no further action is required.
