Hill-Rom recalls specific Versacare mattresses that may cause pressure ulcers due to reduced heat/moisture management. Affected units have serial numbers listed in the recall notice.
The failure mode on the affected mattresses can cause a reduction in the performance of the Microclimate Management feature used to pull heat and moisture away from the patient resulting in an increased patient risk of pressure ulcer development.
Hill-Rom is recalling certain Versacare mattresses that could increase patient risk of pressure ulcers if they fail to properly manage heat and moisture. This is a medical device used in healthcare settings.
