Description
Hill-Rom 305 Bed, P1441B - Non electric, Hill Rom Batesville, IN. Intended for low to moderate acuity patients in the low end acute care area of the hospital.
The flexing of the junction of the sleep deck's head and mid sections can create excess pressure on the pivot pin E-ring, which could cause the E-ring to come off.
The firm sent an Urgent Field Safety Notice to its customers dated 9/16/2009. The letter identified the affected product, explained the reason for the recall, actions to be taken, and a contact reference. Customers are to locate the affected product, examine the pivot points and ensure the E-ring is present. If the E-ring is missing, then the affected bed is to be taken out of service. Customers' distributors or agents will contact them with a permanent fix. Questions should be directed towards Hill-Rom Technical Support.
