Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The cause of the automatt overinflation is the incorrect circulation of the air in the automatt sensor pad (mattress base) due to a damaged inner tube.The tpu (thermoplastic polyurethane) tube may break over time due to the extruding force of the silicone tube and the external bending force, causing air accumulation in automatt.The mattress was not corrected as per the field safety corrective action (tw1942837, fsn-suz-001-2021).In summary, the nimbys 4 mattress did not meet its specification since the automatt sensor pad was faulty.No patient was involved when the reported issue occurred.The complaint was assessed as reportable due to the mattress over-inflation (the faulty automatt).The device is distributed outside the us, and no gudid information exists.
