(b)(4).Despite several attempts to reach the caller and find out more details, there was no return call, no answer from the caller.Message "return patient to zero degree" can occur as part of the several instructions occurring on the bed screen.Without bed evaluation and detailed information what kind of instructions were displaying on the screen at the time of event, it is not possible to indicate the reason for the message and why the staff could not pass this screen.Regardless of the "return patient to zero degree" message, the rotoprone bed can be still rotated to desire position prone or supine using manual rotation feature.In the investigated complaint, users, with help of an arjo representative, were able to manually rotate the patient to supine position and start resuscitation.In summary, when the event occurred the device was used for a patient treatment and from that perspective it played a role in the event.It failed to meet its specification since the message "return patient to zero degree" occurred from unknown reason.We report this event in abundance of caution due to indication of patient coding and no further details about patient outcome.The massage "return patient to zero degree" displaying on the screen is not consider a reportable malfunction.If there is a failure of the electrical system (e.G.The user cannot pass the screen to start automatic rotation), the bed manual rotation feature will override all electrical system and allow to provide the manual rotation, as in the reported case.
