REASON
It was identified that in some situations the bed exit alarm may not function as intended. The software code for the bed exit system has the potential to auto-reset erroneously. In some situations, the software code does not allow enough time for the weight value to fall to zero once the patient egresses from the bed, in which case, the bed has the potential to reset the bed exit alarm .
