(b)(4).On 2018-may-14 arjo was notified by police officer about the non-accidental patient's injury involving enterprise 5000 bed.The case is currently under police investigation.The incident took place in (b)(6).Following the information reported the (b)(6) baby was dropped on hospital floor.As a result the baby sustained bilateral skull fracture.We were also informed that the mother of the baby had raised the overall height of the bed.The incident was unwitnessed.On 2018-may-16 we were informed by customer facility representative that they could not identify the bed that was actually involved in the incident (date of event (b)(6) 2017) and that no more information will be available in this matter.Due to the fact the device involved in the incident could not be identified we were not in position to inspect the bed in question.Although the exact circumstances of the event remains unknown, we were informed by police officer that the drop of the baby was non-accidental what indicates that the injury could have been deliberate.Based on the above we see no association between our device and the injury sustained.The complaint was decided to be reportable due to the drop of the baby and the injury sustained.At the time the incident occurred there was a patient present on the bed.There was no indication of bed's malfunction, therefore we assume the enterprise 5000 bed was working up to manufacturer's specification at the time of the incident.
