Recently placed pt in rotoprone bed at 0435.Began proning pt at 0455.Checked red manual rotation latch and bed brakes before rotation began.Pt was tolerating bed well on rotation.At approx.0615, rn was standing at the head of the bed when suddenly the red manual rotation latch flung open and patient's bed quickly began to rotate manually on its own.Rn quickly grabbed the bed along with team lead and fellow rn who happened to be standing in the doorway of the room.Bed was manually brought back to zero degrees and lock pin was pulled.Rn zip-tied the red manual rotation latch shut, and notified manufacturer rep of bed malfunction and to order a new bed immediately.Nurse manager notified.Rn spoke with manufacturer rep, customer service reps and ordered a new rotoprone bed to be brought to the patient's room immediately.
