Ferno-Washington Power F2 Powered Fastening System recalled for rail mechanism jamming risk

OTHERNationwide distributionMedical devices

What this means

The roller assembly on the Ferno-Washington Power F2 Powered Fastening System may wear unevenly and deform, causing the rail mechanism to jam. If this happens, the stretcher cannot move along the rail—either with the powered system or manually—potentially delaying patient transport to a hospital.

Check if your ambulance has a Power F2 system with one of the affected serial numbers listed in the recall notice
Contact Ferno-Washington or your local EMS authority for inspection and repair instructions
Do not rely solely on the powered fastening system until the device is inspected

The agency's original wording
