Stryker medical is initiating a voluntary recall of the spirit select and spirit plus a-c powered hospital beds due to reports of hi-lo actuators broken at the mount ends, which could cause the bed to unexpectedly lower resulting in patient injury.

The firm, Stryker Medical, issued an "URGENT MEDICAL DEVICE RECALL" letter dated 7/8/2016 by FedEx to its customers and included a revised preventive maintenance checklist. The letter described the product, problem and actions to be taken. The customers were instructed to: locate the units listed on the attached business reply form; remove these units from service, if not possible to remove units from service, place units in the height position according to instructions; file the revised preventative maintenance checklist; return the Business Reply Form to confirm receipt of the notification by fax (269)488-8691 or email productfieldaction@stryker.com. If customers have loaned or sold any of the beds listed in this letter, please forward a copy of the recall notice to the new users and advise us of their new location in the space provided on the business reply form.
