Event Description

Hillrom received a report from a hillrom technician stating the bed brakes were not holding.The bed was located at the account.There was no patient/user injury reported.This report was filed in our complaint handling system as complaint #(b)(4).

Manufacturer Narrative

The hillrom technician found the detent mechanism needed to be replaced.The affinity® 4 birthing bed requires an effective maintenance program.We recommend that you do annual preventive maintenance (pm) for joint commission certification.Pm not only meets joint commission requirements but can help make sure of a long, operative life for the affinity® 4 birthing bed.Two effective ways to reduce downtime and make sure the patient remains comfortable are to keep accurate records and maintain the affinity® 4 birthing bed.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 detent mechanism to resolve the reported event.Based on this information, no further action is required.
