Baxter Healthcare Corporation is recalling approximately 38,136 Centrella Max and Pro+ hospital bed mattress surfaces and over 20,000 service parts. The top cover of these mattresses can delaminate—meaning the layers of the fabric separate—due to improper cleaning or the use of bleach-based cleaners without adequate instructions. This defect was identified following reports that the cleaning protocols did not provide enough detail on how to safely use bleach without damaging the material. Consumers should check their specific mattress model and contact Baxter for updated cleaning instructions or assistance.
When the mattress cover delaminates, it can compromise the fluid barrier of the bed. This could allow bodily fluids or cleaning chemicals to penetrate the inner foam of the mattress, potentially leading to cross-contamination between patients or exposure to hazardous materials.
Updated cleaning instructions and manufacturer consultation.
