| Classification | Class II |
| Status | Terminated |
| Reason | Invacare has identified via customer complaints, the potential for the mounting bolt connecting the caster to the base frame of the patient lifts to become loose. Loose hardware can cause wear to the hardware and housings. If left unresolved, the caster may separate from the base of the lift causing the Lift to tilt and a patient fall. Failure does not occur right away but happens over time if the lift is not properly maintained. Patient falls are inherently dangerous and may result in a range of injuries that are dependent on physical condition of the patient and the nature of the fall. When injuries occur, they are typically non-serious injuries such as bruising, lacerations, or abrasions. In rare cases, more serious injuries such as bone fracture, head trauma, or death can occur. For caregivers using the lift, attempts to manually stabilize a lift if it becomes unstable could result in sprains, serious back injuries, or bone fractures. |
