Pt identifier: ni. Evaluation of the return canopy found the slider body is open in a patient access area. The damaged slider was repaired and returned back to the customer for use. Posey beds are multi-use, serviceable items. As such, it is anticipated that the units may occasionally require repair, and as part of standard care the beds should be inspected prior to use. If damage is noted during these routine bed inspections, the unit should not put into use with a patient and should be returned to posey for servicing. If the slider is opened it can potentially leave an unsecured area. Applying pressure directly to the unsecured area would cause the elements to separate, which is why the user manual advises caregivers to apply direct pressure along the entire length of the zipper. If the elements do not have a secure fit when engaged the bed would be render unusable. In order for an open slider to potentially contribute to a patient egress, the following must occur: the open body slider is not noticed, the caregiver does not properly check the elements to ensure there is a secure fit prior to leaving the patient unattended, and 3) the patient identifies the unsecured area, applies pressure against the elements and exits the bed. Following the ifu and standard servicing protocols, the user can identify these issues prior to use and return the bed for repair. In this case, there was no impact or consequence to the patient and the canopy was returned for servicing when the zipper issues were identified. Although it cannot be confirmed, it is possible that routine wear-and-tear from repeated use contributed to the open slider body. Of note, the canopy was 38 months old since its last service. Service issues are trended and reviewed by management on a monthly basis. As part of this monthly review, trends and excursions above control limits will be assessed, documented and acted upon as warranted. No corrective or preventative actions are necessary at this time. Note: the instructions for use warns the user to never use the posey bed if there is damage to the canopy, damage to the accuses panels, or if the entire zipper does not close completely. A failure to follow this warning may lead to serious injury or death from a fall. Always check the canopy and make sure the entire zipper is completely closed before leaving the patient alone to help reduce the risk of a fall or unassisted bed exit. (b)(4).
