The report is based solely on the information provided by the territory manager (tm).The tm responded to the due diligence email stating that this complaint is regarding multiple alarms with the battery door issue, and the nurse call adapters' batteries were depleting because the alarm is not working; they can't open the battery door to change them.Since they have a limited number of alarms, and it is the old firmware on these alarms, taking any from the hospital would be a disruption of service and would put patients at risk.The fall monitor battery door (m0656) is being updated to include two recessed channels to provide additional spacing/clearance from the batteries, and this design change is being addressed via moc-2023-0146.The instructions for use (ifu) were reviewed and found to provide adequate instructions and warnings for safe and effective use of the device.The ifu states, test fall monitor functionality every time before each use and when leaving the patient unattended.Ensure the nurse call cable is plugged into both the fall monitor and the wall port of the nurse call system or that the wireless adapter is paired properly before leaving the patient unattended.Verify that an alert is received at the nursing station.Moreover, the wireless alarm setup guide also states, turning off the alarm unpairs the wireless chair sensor pad.Never turn off the wireless nurse call adapter or it will unpair from the alarm.All complaints are trended and reviewed by management on a monthly basis.As part of this monthly review, any excursion above the control limits for this failure mode will be assessed, documented, and acted upon as warranted.Manufacture reference file number (b)(4).
