Recommended actions for providers
Providers should identify and document recalled or unsafe products and take the following steps:
- Notify impacted residents and/or representatives of specific product hazards
- Conduct an inventory review for affected products, including those without labeling
- Discuss alternatives, such as adjustable low beds or other mobility supports
- Document in the service plan or Individual Abuse Prevention Plan (IAPP):
- Notification and education provided
- Resident decision regarding continued use
- Acknowledgment of known risks
- If the resident chooses to continue using:
- Verify proper installation (if applicable)
- Monitor for entrapment, instability, or misuse
- Reassess whether mobility or cognition changes
Providers must balance resident safety and resident rights. Residents may choose to continue using a bed rail, including a recalled product, provided they are fully informed of the risks and the decision is clearly documented, with ongoing safety monitoring in place.
