MalfunctionSep 1, 2026Loose or Intermittent Connection
At a minimum of three times in the last two weeks, ICU staff has attempted to use the "E.M Adams Company Limb Holder" on intubated patients, and the clip that is on the end of the restraint that attaches to the bed fails, allowing the patient to have free movement with their limbs, potentially allowing the patient to self extubate. When looking at a working clip and the clip that does not work properly, there is a sort of tab that I can see is in a different spot, which I suspect is the reason for the clip not working.
