    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 0

    DURING A QUALITY CHECK PERFORMED IN THE ARJO SERVICE CENTRE FOUND A BURNED MAIN JUNCTION BOX AND CABLES CONNECTED TO IT. THE BURNED HOLE WAS ALSO OBSERVED IN A DECK SECTION. NO PATIENT WAS INVOLVED. NO INJURY OCCURRED. ON (B)(6) 2020, THE SAME SYMPTOM FAILURE HAS BEEN RECREATED AND ACKNOWLEDGED BY THE MANUFACTURER. IT WAS ESTABLISHED THAT THE ROOT CAUSE OF REPORTED ISSUE IS A COMBINATION OF TWO ERRORS OCCURRING ON THE BED AT THE SAME TIME: CLAMP CABLE INSULATION TEARING WITHIN ELECTRONIC BAY BOX DUE TO EXCESSIVE VIBRATIONS, AND QLCI GROUNDING SCREW TOUCHING THE METAL SUPPORT. IN RESULT, THERE IS A LIKELIHOOD, THE MAIN JUNCTION BOX (MJB) AND CABLES CONNECTED TO IT CAN MELT EMITTING AN UNPLEASANT SMELL (EACH CITADEL PLUS BED IS EQUIPPED WITH MJB, SITUATED BENEATH THE MATTRESS PLATFORM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BED, ALLOWING TO CONNECT REMOTE CONTROLS, CONTROL PANELS OR OTHER ACCESSORIES.). AS A CONSEQUENCE OF THIS PROBLEM, THE FUNCTIONALITY OF THE BED CAN BE DISTURBED, MEANING THAT ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS MAY NOT BE RESPONDING TO ANY COMMANDS GIVEN, AND BED IS ¿FROZEN¿. FOLLOWING A TECHNICAL EVALUATION, IT WAS CONCLUDED THAT EVEN IF THE FAILURE OCCURS, THERE IS NO POSSIBILITY OF DEVICE IGNITION (SINCE THE COMPONENTS ARE MADE OF FIRE RETARDANT MATERIALS), NOR HEAT TRANSMISSION TO THE MATTRESS. HOWEVER, ALTHOUGH THE PROBABILITY OF OCCURRENCE OF HARM IS VERY LIMITED, OUR INVESTIGATION REVEALS, THAT THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR CURRENT LEAKAGE WHICH CAN RESULT IN ELECTRIC SHOCK, IN CASE PATIENT WOULD TOUCH SKIN IQ METAL CABLE CONNECTOR (SITUATED AT THE FOOT END OF THE BED) AND METAL BED FRAME AT THE SAME TIME. A CAPA (CORRECTIVE AND PREVENTIVE ACTION) HAS BEEN COMMENCED IN ORDER TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE AND PREVENT IT FROM REOCCURRING. ACTIONS UNDERTAKEN IN THE COURSE OF THE CAPA ENSURE THAT NEWLY MANUFACTURED DEVICES WILL BE FREE OF THE RECOGNIZED FAILURE MODE AND THE AFFECTED DEVICES WILL BE REWORKED (CORRECTED) EFFECTIVELY. ON (B)(6) 2020, THE FIELD SAFETY CORRECTIVE ACTION (FSCA, INTERNAL NUMBER (B)(4)) HAS BEEN COMMENCED TO ALL ARJO CUSTOMERS OWNING THE CITADEL PLUS BED MANUFACTURED BETWEEN (B)(6) 2020. TO CONCLUDE, ARJO ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE MALFUNCTION RESULTED IN MELTING MAIN JUNCTION BOX UNDER VERY SPECIFIC CONDITION THAT NEED TO HAPPEN AT THE SAME TIME, WOULD BE LIKELY TO CAUSE OR CONTRIBUTE TO A DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY, IF THE MALFUNCTION WERE TO RECUR THEREFORE THIS COMPLAINT WAS DECIDED TO BE REPORTABLE TO COMPETENT AUTHORITY, ALTHOUGH NO PATIENT WAS INVOLVED AND NO INJURY OCCURRED.
