Manufacturer Narrative

H3 this report is based solely on the information provided by the customer.A request for additional information surrounding the patient fall was attempted but have not received a response from the customer at the time of this report.The customer provided a serial number (b)(6) that calculates to about 15 years old which is beyond the useful life of the canopy.Based on the age of the canopy, repeated use and laundering could potentially damage the unit.Additionally, maintenance and/or cleaning of the unit can also cause damage, as well as abusive handling.Previous investigations and servicing have revealed that these issues are unlikely to have been caused by a manufacturing non-conformity.Posey beds are multi-use, serviceable items.As such, it is anticipated that the units may occasionally require repair, and as part of standard care the beds should be inspected prior to use.If damage is noted during these routine bed inspections, the unit should not be put into use with a patient and should be returned to posey for servicing.The instructions for use are adequate in providing clear and concise warnings against putting a damaged canopy into use with a patient.The instructions states: warning, never use the posey bed if there is damage to the canopy, access panels or zippers.A failure to heed this warning may result in patient escape or unassisted bed exit, which may lead to serious injury or death from a fall.Always check the canopy and the zippers before leaving the patient unattended to help reduce the risk of a fall or unassisted bed exit.Never leave a patient unattended if the zippers do not close securely, there are holes in the canopy or netting, the foam padding covering the metal frame is damaged or missing, or the frame is damaged.Service issues are trended and reviewed by management on a monthly basis.As part of this monthly review, trends and excursions above control limits will be assessed, documented and acted upon as warranted.No corrective or preventative actions are necessary at this time.Manufacturer reference file (b)(4).H3 other text : product not returned.
