Baxter Healthcare Corporation is recalling approximately 2,967 Hillrom Centrella Smart+ Medical-Surgical Hospital Beds equipped with software version 1.27.000. These beds may experience a software interface issue when integrated with the Rauland Responder 5 Nurse Call System. While the bed's local exit alarm will sound at the bedside, the system may fail to transmit a remote alert to the nursing station, potentially delaying a response from medical staff when a patient attempts to exit the bed. No injuries or incidents have been reported to date.
The failure to transmit remote alerts through the nurse call system means healthcare staff may not be notified when a patient at high risk of falling attempts to leave their bed. This delay in response increases the risk of serious patient falls and related injuries.
