Reason for recall

In certain situations a software problem with the TotalCare SpO2RT¿ 2 bed may occur that can lead to inadvertent loss of sufficient surface cushion pressure to adequately support the patient. This may increase the likelihood of skin irritation for patients at higher risk of developing pressure-related skin conditions. A correction to the software program is currently being developed and tested,

Lead and other heavy metals accumulate in the body. Children are most at risk; even low levels can affect development.
