Additional Manufacturer Narrative

THE BAXTER TECHNICIAN FOUND THE CPR VALVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. PER THE BAXTER SERVICE MANUAL THE TOTAL CARE BARIATRIC BED AND TOTAL CARE BED SYSTEM REQUIRES AN EFFECTIVE MAINTENANCE PROGRAM. WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU PERFORM A SEMI-ANNUAL PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE. TEST THE CPR RELEASE FOR CORRECT OPERATION AND RESET OF THE HEAD CYLINDER. A SEARCH OF THE BAXTER MAINTENANCE RECORDS DID NOT SHOW BAXTER PERFORMED ANY PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE ON THIS BED. IT IS UNKNOWN IF THE FACILITY PERFORMS PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE ON THEIR BEDS. THE TECHNICIAN REPLACED THE CPR VALVE TO RESOLVE THE REPORTED EVENT. BASED ON THIS INFORMATION, NO FURTHER ACTION IS REQUIRED.
