Joerns Healthcare Recalls P.R.O. Matt and ProCair Mattresses Due to Connector Defect

Joerns Healthcare is recalling 915 P.R.O. Matt and ProCair Mattresses because incorrect connectors were supplied, lacking internal shutoff valves required to prevent air loss.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text does not report any hospitalizations, injuries, or deaths. The hazard is a functional defect (air loss) without reported harm, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity score.

Plain-English summary

Joerns Healthcare has identified a potential issue with 915 units of P.R.O. Matt and ProCair Mattresses. The recall involves specific serial numbers where incorrect connectors (part numbers 206-0401 and 206-0405) were provided by a supplier. These connectors lack the required internal shutoff valves, which are necessary to prevent air from escaping the mattress air cells.

The affected devices are non-powered flotation therapy mattresses intended to treat or prevent decubitus ulcers (bed sores). The distribution pattern is listed as worldwide, including the US, UK, Canada, and Holland. The source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or deaths associated with this defect.

Consumers and healthcare facilities should check the serial numbers of their P.R.O. Matt and ProCair Mattresses against the list provided in the official recall notice. If a device is affected, users should contact Joerns Healthcare for instructions on how to proceed with the recall.
