Progressa hospital bed compression links may bend during head raising
Baxter Healthcare is recalling 248 Progressa bed systems. Compression links may bend when raising the head section, even with patients under 500 pounds.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II medical device recall involving a structural defect in a bed mechanism. Although no injuries have been reported, the compression links' potential to bend during normal operation poses a risk to patient safety, particularly given the malfunction can occur below the device's stated weight rating.
Plain-English summary
Baxter Healthcare Corporation is recalling 248 Hill-Rom Progressa bed systems identified by specific serial numbers. These beds are used in healthcare settings and are designed to support patients weighing up to 500 pounds.
The compression links on the affected beds may bend when the head section is raised. Although the bed's labeling specifies a maximum weight capacity of 500 pounds, the bending can occur in patients weighing less than this limit, depending on patient position on the bed. This malfunction could affect the proper operation of the bed mechanism.
The recalled beds were distributed throughout the United States (in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Indiana, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Missouri, North Carolina, New Mexico, Nevada, New York, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin) as well as internationally to Canada, Qatar, Singapore, United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia.
Healthcare facilities and patients who own affected beds should stop using the bed if their serial number matches the recall list and contact Baxter Healthcare Corporation immediately for repair or replacement instructions. Refer to the FDA recall notice for the complete list of affected serial numbers.
