Product
The Spirit TM Select bed is a Med-Surg bed intended to support and transport low to moderate acuity patients in the medical and/or surgical area of the hospital. The Spirit Select bed is also intended for use as a general purpose, variable height hospital bed for general care, post-operative and general medicine wards. The product has a 500 pound safe working load and includes the standard features of an integrated scale and bed exit system, enhanced footboard staff controls for scale and bed exit system and a low bed height of 10.75 inches.
Reason
It was identified that in some situations the bed exit alarm may not function as intended. The software code for the bed exit system has the potential to auto-reset erroneously. In some situations, the software code does not allow enough time for the weight value to fall to zero once the patient egresses from the bed, in which case, the bed has the potential to reset the bed exit alarm even without a patient on the bed. The bed exit on the Spirit Select bed may incorrectly reset if the Auto Reset option is selected. A patient fall may result in soft tissue or bone injury which may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent permanent disability. If the bed exit alarm incorrectly resets then medical assistance after a fall or during entanglement may be delayed. Patients with dementia or disorientation are at greatest risk. There have been two reported injuries associated with these issues to date. A Medical Risk Assessment determined that there is a remote probability of occurrence of harm requiring medical intervention.
