Product description

CURBELL MEDICAL CareSense Wireless Advanced LCD Bed and Chair Monitor, MODEL # CSM-BC400; --- COMMON/USUAL NAME: Bed Patient Monitor; CLASSIFICATION NAME: Bed Patient Monitor --- Monitor is connected to a sensor pad that monitors the patient if they attempt to arise from a bed, chair, floor mat, or toilet seat.

Reason for recall

The firm became aware of a potential problem that was initiated by a customer complaint. After consultation with the manufacturer, it was discovered that a resistor was incorrectly placed within the circuit board on the monitor. This change to the resistor was a planned change to address a product improvement (improve battery drain). However, this modification rendered the monitor's alarm via the nurse call communication port to not function.
