798 reports arrived in the 12 months to August 2026, up 49% from 534 in the 12 months before.

The event types recorded are malfunction (98.7%), injury (1.1%) and death (0.2%); across all bed, ac-powered adjustable hospital reports (product code FNL) death is recorded in 0.7% and malfunction in 95.5%. Event type is the reporter's classification of the report, not a verified outcome.

The patient problems coded most often are fall, hematoma and pressure sore/ulcer. FDA states that "MDR data alone cannot be used to establish rates of events, evaluate a change in event rates over time or compare event rates between devices. The number of reports cannot be interpreted or used in isolation to reach conclusions about the existence, severity, or frequency of problems associated with devices." It adds that the reporting system "has limitations, including the potential submission of incomplete, inaccurate, untimely, unverified, or biased data."

Brand, generic and manufacturer names are as written on the reports; product code names come from FDA's device classification. A report counts here when any device it lists carries this brand name after punctuation and capitalisation are normalised. No report narrative, lot number, patient detail or reporter identity is published. See the methodology and sources; FDA's record is authoritative, and corrections are handled within five working days.
