It was reported that a patient sustained a hospital-acquired pressure injury (hapi), which evolved to an unstageable wound and was treated with an enzymatic debriding agent (santyl).When the patient was removed from the bed, it was noted that the surface was deflated.However, none of the staff members documented the serial number of the device involved in the alleged event.

Additional information has been obtained.Reportability and section h codes have been updated to reflect these changes.A technician evaluated several similar devices after the event, but none of these displayed a defect or malfunction.There are many factors that contribute to pressure injury development including heat, moisture, pressure braden scale ratings, patient mobility, nursing monitoring, and rotation schedules.Therefore, we cannot conclusively determine whether the product malfunctioned or if there was a use error that caused or contributed to the alleged injury.H3 other text : unable to determine specific device, not available for evaluation.
