Manufacturer Narrative

The hillrom service technician found the brake detent 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 showed hillrom performed preventative maintenance on this bed on (b)(6) 2023.It is unknown if the facility performed any other preventative maintenance on this bed.The technician replaced the brake detent to resolve the issue.Based on this information, no further action is required.
