The automatt of the nimbus 4 mattress overinflated when a patient was laying on the mattress.As a result, the patient fell from the mattress.The patient sustained a cut on the head (not a serious injury).The involved mattress was returned to the manufacturer for evaluation.During the manufacturer's inspection, it was found that the membrane holder relocated blocking the airflow.The relocation of the holder caused the overinflation of the automatt and subsequently the patient's fall.The simulation confirmed the customer¿s allegation.In summary, the nimbus 4 mattress did not meet its specification since the automatt sensor pad overinflated with the load applied.The reported issue occurred when the device was used by the patient.The patient involved sustained a non-serious injury.The complaint was decided to be reportable due to the patient's fall which could have led to serious health consequences.
