Root cause: Failed linear actuator, a control-board fault, a control-panel fault, or a pinched / damaged control cable.
Symptoms: Bed will not brake or release, drifts, central brake pedal ineffective.
Root cause: Worn central-brake linkage or castor.
Symptoms: Weight reads implausibly or will not zero, bed-exit alarm false-triggers or fails.
Root cause: Load-cell drift or damage, or a scale-control fault.
Symptoms: Functions and alarms do not work during a power interruption, battery-fault indicator.
Root cause: Aged back-up battery or a charger fault.
Symptoms: Siderail will not latch, rattles, or the CPR release is slow / stiff.
Root cause: Worn siderail latch or the CPR mechanism.

Stryker has issued a voluntary recall of certain MV3 beds and Arise 1000EX mattresses because some of these products have been sold in close proximity, suggesting a potential intent for them to be used together. These products have not been tested for compatibility and thus are not designed to be used together. The combination of both is not recommended by Stryker.
Patient beds are missing test values for electrical safety tests presenting risk of tissue burn or electrical shock.
The beds with the high rail side rail option may not be complaint with IEC 60601-2-52/C1:2010. There is a potential risk of entrapment.
Certain 2860 IsoFlex LAL support surfaces were assembled with a non-conforming fire barrier.
The power load floor plates which hold the ambulance cot anchors in place during patient transport, may be broken.
CPU board failures cause fowler (backrest) electronic controls to stop working.
It was identified by a customer complaint that some I.V. poles were retracting/lowering from an extended position to the low height unexpectedly. An investigation was initiated which identified that the I.V. Latch Housing was nonconforming. potential hazards: " Suspended I.V. pole retracts unexpectedly " Suspended I.V. pole retracts unexpectedly with pump/bags attached
Customer complaints associated with faulty brake system
Inaccurate scale systems
Stryker has received complaints from the field alleging instances where the In Touch beds are hoisted or lifted from the floor and the casters have fallen off. The investigations into these casters have shown that in these cases the caster has broken on the top of the caster stem where the brake rod inserts into the caster. If more than one caster on a unit is damaged, brake functions can be affec
During the use of the SHAPE Arm there is the potential for the monitor mount to come off of the SHAPE Arm if the lock washer and screw are not present.
Stryker Medical has identified a potential issue associated with Secure II and S3 Med/Surg beds built between April 2nd, 2005 and July 26th, 2011. The affected beds have the potential to experience damage to the Foot End Cover and/or Power Coil Cable due to reduced clearance between the Foot End Cover and Foot End Lift Header.
It was reported that the siderail may appear latched when it is not, due to lack of proper preventive maintenance. This might result in bruises and/or lacerations to a patient who is leaning against the siderails if the siderail releases. Additionally, the siderail may not effectively constrain a patient to prevent them from rolling or falling off the bed.
The nurse call cable (Part Number: QDF23-0571) on the FL23SE Bed is located right under the opening of the bed head box. If an accessory (i.e. IV pole) is inserted into this slot, the circuit directing the nurse call system can be damaged.
Stryker Medical Model 3002S3EX and Model 3005S3EX beds built between March 15, 2012 and May 23, 2012. The affected beds may have been built with brake rings that do not meet specifications, negatively impacting the holding force of the brakes.
An adverse trend of scale and bed exit service reports/complaints were detected for the GoBed+, GoBed II, Rose, and MA204 model beds. Investigation found an abnormally high failure rate of loadcells, an integral component in scale and bed exit function. The scale faults are manifested as a fluctuating scale reading, a scale error causing the scale system to be disabled until serviced, or an inac
Stryker Medical has determined that units manufactured between September 1, 2004 through November 30, 2007, did not receive updated preventive maintenance information. (Failure to maintain the bed brakes including the brake plate kits, may result in reduced brake holding force. Reduced braking force may result in a patient fall or caregiver muscle strain, either of which may require medical int
The Fowler mechanism may malfunction, preventing it from being lowered into a flat position.
The backrest of the bed may not stay in an upright position (may drift down when left raised).
The touch screen on the footboard may display a "tilt over range" error, resulting in a precautionary stop of the bed motions which result in the bed appearing to have locked out some of its bed positioning features.
The brakes may not have adequate holding power to lock the bed in place.
Multiple defects: 1) beds exhibit reverse motions when the Fowler, gatch or foot section is activated 2) a battery charging defect which may result in a depletion of battery power 3) the touch screen on the footboard freezing, resulting in controls to powered, pressure-relief mattresses being difficult to access 4) beds equipped with zoom drive systems may have an overdrive problem which could re
The bed exit may not alarm as appropriate.
Trendelenburg and reverse trendelenburg features may not function.
A potential shock hazard exists if the night light is damaged.
A wire may break at the crimp and present a potential electric shock hazard.
