Baxter Healthcare Corporation is recalling approximately 2,126 units of Progressa Bed Surfaces because the internal air bladders inside the mattress may move out of their intended position. This displacement usually occurs when the head of the bed is elevated, which can cause a visible dip or sinkhole in the mattress surface. These beds are designed to treat or prevent complications for patients who cannot move, and a lack of proper support could impact patient care. No injuries have been reported to date, and the manufacturer initiated this recall voluntarily.
The shifting of air bladders causes a depression in the mattress that removes support from the patient. This defect could lead to patient discomfort, improper positioning, or skin integrity issues if the surface fails to provide the necessary pressure management or therapeutic support.
Intended to treat or prevent pulmonary or other complications associated with immobility.
