Reason/Issue	Stryker has become aware that the supplier has made a manufacturing transfer from their Tier Two supplier which affected the quality of the boards supplied to Stryker. As a result of workmanship issues, the boards have the potential to short circuit and overheat. There is a high probability of limited (minor, transient) harm, specifically minor respiratory irritation, not requiring medical intervention and untended lowering or cot dropping to the lowest position (no cot tip). Faulty units will not work as intended. There have been no reports of injury associated with this issue.
