Additional Manufacturer Narrative

We were informed that the power cable was run over by a bed frame.The instruction for use (340750-ah rev f 06/2019) for therakair visio mattress replacement system instructs: "the power cable should be positioned to avoid a tripping hazard and/or damage to the cable.Arjo recommends placing the cable under the bed frame and attaching it to a mains wall socket by the head of the bed.The system should never be operated with a worn or damaged power cable.Should the power cable be found to be worn or damaged, contact arjo or an arjo-authorized representative for a replacement." the exact root cause of the malfunction was decided to be unintentional user error.The power cable of the pump was damaged; therefore, the arjo device did not meet the specification.The complaint was assessed as reportable due to the allegation that a spark was coming from the damaged power cord of the pump.The pump was in use by the patient when the problem occurred.No injury was sustained.Udi number: (b)(4).The device is distributed outside the us and no gudid information exists.
