Molift Mover 205 patient lift recalled for bolt breakage risk
What this means
The mounting bolt that holds the lifting bar on certain Molift Mover 205 patient lifts can break during use. This happens because materials in the joint deform over time, which can cause the bolt to fail and limit how the lift moves. A bolt broke during testing, prompting this recall.
- Check if your Molift Mover 205 model matches the recalled serial numbers listed in the recall notice
- Stop using the device immediately if you have an affected serial number
- Contact ETAC A/S or your supplier for a replacement or repair
The agency's original wording
A customer experienced that during assembly and load testing of the device, the bolt for mounting the lifting bar broke. Upon further investigation of this customer complaint, it became clear that the defect occurs as a result of deformation of the materials involved between the lifting bar and the arm of the device. Such deformation can lead to limited mobility in the joint, which prevents proper functionality of the equipment.
