Arjo received a customer complaint for enterprise 5000x bed.According to the information provided the enterprise 5000x bed was found by an arjo technician with damaged hinge (this defect was confirmed by the photo evidence received) and it was not possible to raise or lower the backrest of the bed.The malfunction was detected during device operation therefore it was indicated that a patient was placed on the bed when the issue occurred.No injuries were reported.Based on the photographic evidence provided, one of two backrest hinges was broken.The hinge consists of two components that broke off from each other.The photographic evidence and information gathered in the course of this investigation were consulted with the technical department.It seems most likely that the hinge damage was a result of hinge casting class not followed by the supplier.The production was transferred from this supplier in 2019.The involved enterprise 5000x bed was manufactured before this date, in dec 2017.Arjo device failed to meet its performance specification since the hinge broke.The device was used for a patient treatment when the malfunction occurred.This complaint is deemed reportable due to allegation of hinge failure during use with the patient which might have contributed to collapse of the backrest section.No injury was reported.
