SafeControl Bed Handset May Move Unexpectedly After Power Restoration
The SafeControl handset component of Sentida beds may revert to an active mode after power restoration, potentially causing unintended bed movement. Consumers should ensure beds are safely positioned before power interruptions.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: FDA Class II recall with no reported injuries or illnesses. The hazard—unintended bed movement triggered by power restoration—poses a theoretical risk of harm to patients, fitting the 'High' severity criterion for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.
Plain-English summary
Wissner-Bosserhoff GmbH is recalling the SafeControl handset, a component of the Sentida electric bed system used for positioning and adjustment. The recall affects model numbers 01-011539, 01-011541, and 01-01198. A total of 77 units were distributed in North Carolina.
When the SafeControl handset is disconnected from power and power is subsequently restored, the device automatically resets to Resident mode. In this mode, the bed's backrest, legrest, and height adjustment functions become active and can be operated. This automatic reset could cause unintended bed movement without notice to patients or caregivers.
Consumers who have purchased or are using the affected Sentida beds should contact their healthcare provider or equipment supplier about this issue. Until a solution is provided, bed users should ensure the bed is in a safe, stable position before any power interruptions occur.
