    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    THE HILL-ROM TECHNICIAN FOUND THE BRAKES NOT HOLDING DUE WORN BRAKE ASSEMBLIES ON THE FOOT END BRAKE AND STEER CASTERS. 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 SHOWED HILL-ROM PERFORMED PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE ON THIS BED IN 2008-2014. IT IS UNKNOWN IF THE FACILITY PERFORMED ANY OTHER PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE ON THIS BED. THE TECHNICIAN REPLACED THE FOOT END BRAKE AND STEER CASTERS TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. BASED ON THIS INFORMATION, NO FURTHER ACTION IS REQUIRED.
