Reason

There is a software issue which may result in failure to monitor or control patient's bed exit mechanism.

Action

The firm issued a Urgent Medical Device notification on 02/14/2020 by letter. The letter identified the reason and requested the following actions be taken: 1. Hillrom is recommending customers disable the NPS software module, including monitoring for Bed Exit Not Armed, to avoid the potential for staff being unaware of the bed exit state. 2. With the NPS software disabled, caregivers will need to return to manually arming the bed exit to alert for patients exiting the bed. Hillrom is developing a software update for NaviCare Patient Safety and anticipates availability in April 2020. Next Steps: Hillrom will be reaching out to assist you with disabling the software module and plan your upgrade. If you have any questions, or would like to proactively schedule an upgrade, please contact Hillrom Technical Support at 1-800-445-3720, option 3 (Cary), option 1 (NaviCare Nurse Call).
