Hill-Rom Recalls

Hazard: Traverse rail carriage delivered with non-conforming screws are too short to ensure appropriate installation. There is potential that the screws are unable to secure the traverse rail appropriately and could loosen over time causing the rail system to fall, potentially causing injury to caregivers and/or patients

Hazard: Missing bushing on Liko M220 and M230 causing wear and potential for patient falling

Hazard: Missing bushing on Liko M220 and M230 causing wear and potential for patient falling

Hazard: An unrecoverable error may occur where a component will fail to complete the reboot cycle, become non-functional and must be replaced.

Hazard: Stretch Leveller has the potential to lose the function of maintaining a patient in the horizontal position when lifting and in motion. When this function is lost the patient can slide backwards and potentially may fall out of the Oct lift sheet back onto the surface it is being lifted from.

Hazard: Latch mechanism on the Lift-Off foot section of the Affinity Four Birthing Bed is damaged, it could potentially cause the installed foot section to be improperly engaged onto the bed, could result in injury to the user due to a fall.

Hazard: Multirall Q-link strap lock has not been fully engaged in the S65 rail carriage hook by user, leading to the Multirall lift becoming detached from the rail system, potentially resulting in the fall of both the lift motor and the patient

Hazard: Affected beds may have screws installed that do not meet material tensile strength requirements. Failure of this screw could result in serious patient or user injury.

Hazard: Affected beds may have screws installed that do not meet material tensile strength requirements. Failure of this screw could result in serious patient or user injury.

Hazard: The Bed Exit System may fail to send a remote alert through the nurse call system if a remote alert was previously sent and cancelled at the in-room nurse call wall unit.

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

Hazard: A component used within the braking system may break resulting in one or more brake pedals on the bed staying in brake or not being engaged which could result in unwanted bed movement and possible patient or user injury.

Hazard: The bed exit alarm may not function properly if the alarm has been armed for a period longer than seventy-two (72) hours without the alarm being triggered by patient movement or removal of patient weight within that time period.

Hazard: Ceiling Bracket 71 was shipped with a larger center hole. A potentially hazardous situation exists that if the Ceiling Bracket 71 with a larger center hole is used for a concrete ceiling Ultra System installation with the M8 screw and the safe working load is exceeded, the system could fall.

Hazard: FDA Class II

Hazard: The current construction of the side rail latch may not be able to support the full patient weight and may give way allowing the side rail to abruptly lower and the patient to fall, potentially resulting in harm. To date there has been one report of a related injury.

Hazard: The center bolt of the sling bar, which connects the bar to the patient lift, has failed during use. If the sling bar is not used as intended the bolt may be weakened. If the bolt is weakened there is a potential risk for breakage with the result of a free fall of the patient. This hazard could cause potentially minor to catastrophic injuries to a patient.

Hazard: The recliners were shipped without the foot rest ottoman linkage side shields, which could result in consumer injury.

Hazard: Hill-Rom is voluntarily recalling the Hill-Rom 100 Low Bed due to complaints of patient injury when exiting the beds set at the lowest position setting.

Hazard: The metal cannula attached to the handpiece can rotate and become dislodged from the plastic handpiece.

Hazard: Complaints (including one reported death) allegedly of the lift arm drifting down suddenly. If the lift arm assembly is manually lifted, the actuator can become damaged and get stuck in the highest position. If a patient is lifted into the sling while the actuator is stuck, there is a potential risk of a free fall of the patient, resulting in minor or potentially catastrophic injuries.

Hazard: The attachment latch mechanism can become bent depending on user handling. Latch mechanism bending could lead to improper engagement of the foot section and this could result in injury to the user due to a fall.

Hazard: When the bed is put into the chair egress position, the magnets on the mattress may not hold the bottom of the mattress flat to the bed frame, and the mattress foot section will extend away from the bed at an angle. A patient attempting to get back into the bed may miss the seat and sit on the foot section instead. The patient can slide down to the floor, or fall, with possible injury.

Hazard: Retrospective review found 4 sling bars that may present a potential for impalement if a patient, caregiver or bystander were to fall onto the hooks based on a simulated test method. In effort to eliminate any risk of injury, Hill-Rom is requesting products be removed from field use and replaced with an updated design.
