Hospital bed mattress covers may delaminate from improper cleaning

Baxter Healthcare is recalling Centrella Max and Pro+ hospital bed mattresses that may develop delaminated top covers when cleaned with bleach-containing solutions. The mattresses prevent and treat pressure injuries.

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: FDA Class II medical device recall affecting a critical patient support system. Although no illnesses or injuries have been reported, mattress delamination compromises the product's intended function of preventing and treating pressure injuries in vulnerable hospital patients.

Plain-English summary

Baxter Healthcare Corporation is recalling multiple models of Centrella Max and Pro+ hospital bed mattresses. The mattress top covers can delaminate (separate or peel away) from the underlying structure.

The delamination occurs as a result of improper cleaning and inadequate information about the correct cleaning agents to use. Cleaning agents containing bleach can cause this damage, but users may not have had clear guidance on this restriction.

The recall affects 38,136 mattress units and 20,187 service parts. The mattresses were distributed nationwide in the United States, to military and government facilities, and internationally to Australia, Canada, China, Japan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Taiwan, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates.

The mattresses are used in healthcare environments as patient support systems to prevent and treat pressure injuries. Healthcare facilities should stop using affected units and contact Baxter Healthcare for instructions on replacement or repair.
