Baxter Healthcare Corporation: Progressa+ Hospital Beds Recalled Due to Electric Shock Risk

Agency Publication Date: November 2, 2023

Summary

Baxter Healthcare Corporation is recalling 499 Hillrom Progressa+ hospital beds because they can build up static electricity during transport. This static electricity can pass through the transport handle to the person moving the bed, resulting in a mild electric shock. The recall affects beds with specific product codes and all serial numbers under UDI/DI 00887761966925. These beds were distributed in eight states: California, Florida, Indiana, Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, Texas, and Virginia.

Risk

Static electricity builds up from the bed's casters or power drive system during movement and can discharge through the transport handle, causing a mild electric shock to the operator.
