Hospital Bed Model 3005 Recalled for Distribution to Home Residents
Stryker's S3 MedSurg hospital bed was distributed to home residents instead of healthcare facilities. The devices are designed for professional operation, and untrained home users may not understand safety instructions.
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: Hospital beds are risk-of-harm medical devices requiring professional training to operate safely. Distributing them to untrained home users creates genuine risk of patient injury, even though no incidents have yet been reported.
