Plain-English summary
Augustine Temperature Management is recalling 3 Hot Dog PATIENT WARMING Underbody Warming Mattresses (Model US530, 35 inches) due to a cable connection defect. The mattresses are used to prevent or treat hypothermia.
The recall concerns over-molding at the cable-entry point on the mattress. After approximately one year of use, the connector cable may experience deflection that causes intermittent loss of connection between the mattress and the external warming unit (ESU). This loss of connection could result in the mattress failing to provide warming.
The recalled units are identified by UDI-DI 00855913001848 and serial numbers 1304384, 1304619, and 1304620. Affected units were distributed nationwide in Texas, Alabama, and Nevada, as well as to Australia and New Zealand.
