| Reason/Issue |
Aidacare have identified an intermittent component defect in all production batches of the Aidacare FLX Floorline beds.
The affected component is a lifting linkage. If welding on this component fails, this can cause the head or foot end of the bed to drop to its lowest position and hi-lo mechanism to no longer function.
This action was undertaken prior to TGA notification. |

| Recall Action Instructions |
For products sold in-market, Aidacare is conducting an in-market rectification where their in-house service technicians are visiting all sites and replacing the potentially affected linkages with new stock.
In the interim, if customers are concerned about using their bed, Aidacare suggest pressing the Entry/Exit height button (bottom right button on the handset) until the bed comes to a stop.
This will position the bed at its ideal level for safely getting in and out, and by removing the need to use the hi/lo function, this will further minimise load stress on the component to be replaced. |
