Hazard: An internal component of the actuators in a certain production batch may not meet the required mechanical strength. This could result, in the worst case scenario, in a sudden loss of the actuator's ability to hold the load, leading to rapid and uncontrolled downward movement of the lifting arm.

Hazard: Unintended movement of bed wheels

Hazard: Unintended movement of bed wheels

Hazard: The device may emit smoke or ignite.

Hazard: The IndiGo power cord might wear during use which could lead to its damage, resulting in the cord being cut, burnt or short circuit with limited emission of sparks.

Hazard: Modular Junction Box (MJB) cables can melt and affect the bed functionality.

Hazard: The firm has become aware that any of the 4 safety catches may exhibit a mechanical failure (break in one of the arms of safety catch), which in certain circumstances may contribute to the side support unintentionally opening and may lead to a potential risk of a patient fall. The patient falling could lead to various types of injuries.

Hazard: Inspection process at the manufacturer found nonwoven material was used in specific lots of product that may break wile in use during the patient/resident transfer. Patient/resident might fall on the floor. IN consequence, the patient might sustain a major trauma, head injury - damage to tissue that is irreversible or may lead to death.

Hazard: ArjoHuntleigh has concluded that a device tipping hazard may occur on the current Sara Combilizer lifting mechanism, providing a potential for risk to the patient or the caregiver. The tipping phenomenon has been found during internal device testing. To date, there have been no adverse events or customer complaints related to the tipping phenomenon. The tipping hazard may occur when fully loaded Sara Combilizer in "stretcher mode" is lifted to the highest position (approximately 984 mm = 38 3/4") and tilted backwards to the angle of 25 degrees¿-28 degrees¿. Although such scenario has been defined as highly unlikely to occur during use with patients, as a commitment to quality, ArjoHuntleigh is providing customers with information on action needed. The Sara Combilizer may stay in use until the upgrade will be performed, on the condition that the tilt angle in the device ''stretcher mode" will be no greater than minus 15 degrees¿ and the device is not loaded over 330 lbs (150 kg).

Hazard: ArjoHuntleigh received three reports where the bolt under the scale unscrewed from the scale. There is a remote risk concerning the bolt unscrewing from the scale. When the scale and bolt parts are not correctly serviced, or when they receive a sharp blow during or outside of use, it is possible the bolt holding the spreader bar to the scale could unscrew during subsequent use. As a result, the sp
