    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    THE TECHNICIAN FOUND THE HEAD END BRAKE CASTERS ARE WORN AND WILL NOT HOLD IN BRAKE MODE. THIS IS MOST LIKELY DUE TO NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. PER THE HILL-ROM SERVICE MANUAL, THE BED SHOULD BE SUBJECT TO AN EFFECTIVE MAINTENANCE PROGRAM. AN ANNUAL SERVICE OF THE BED IS ADVISED IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN ITS CHARACTERISTICS AND PERFORMANCE. BRAKE CASTERS SHOULD BE CHECKED FOR CUTS, WEAR AND QUALITY OF TREAD, ETC AND REPLACED WHEN NECESSARY. CHECK THE BRAKES TO SEE WHETHER THE BED MOVES WHEN THE BRAKE PEDALS ARE PRESSED AND REPAIR AS NECESSARY. A SEARCH OF THE HILL-ROM MAINTENANCE RECORDS DID NOT SHOW HILL-ROM PERFORMED ANY PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE ON THIS BED. IT IS UNK IF THE FACILITY PERFORMS PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE ON THEIR BEDS. THE TECHNICIAN REPLACED THE HEAD END BRAKE CASTERS TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. BASED ON THIS INFO, NO FURTHER ACTION IS REQUIRED.
