395 medical device reports received by FDA name the brand "Envella Bed" (bed air fluidized); the manufacturer given most often on reports is Baxter Healthcare; received from March 2018 to August 2026. Brand names are as the reporter or manufacturer wrote them, so one product can appear under several spellings.
123 reports arrived in the 12 months to August 2026, down 16% from 146 in the 12 months before. FDA releases MAUDE data monthly; reports can arrive months after an event, so the newest months grow in later releases. The event types recorded are malfunction (96.7%) and injury (3.3%); across all bed, air fluidized reports (product code INX) death is recorded in 2.2% and malfunction in 79.9%. Event type is the reporter's classification of the report, not a verified outcome.
The device problems coded most often are material split, cut or torn (42%), unintended movement (18.7%) and activation problem (15.4%). The patient problems coded most often are pressure sore/ulcer and foreign body sensation in eye. 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."
