Reported risk: Dear Risk Management/Biomedical engineering and Health Professionals, Stryker Canada, in collaboration with Health Canada, is providing this Notice to inform you on the risk of siderail collapse with the hospital bed - FL14E Rose Bed. It was reported that the siderail may appear latched in the upright position when it is not fully locked in place and may unexpectedly collapse if a pressure is applied on it. This failure has resulted in bruises and/or lacerations to patients who are leaning against the siderail when it collapses. Additionally, the siderail may not effectively prevent a patient from rolling or falling off the bed. Seven incidents, including three cases resulting in injuries to patients, were reported in Canada.
