CanadaLikorall patient lift systems from Liko AB are affected — affected models include Likorall 200 (cat. no. 3121001), 250 S (3124050), multiple 242 S and 242 ES R2R variants (e.g. 3122009, 3122010, 3122007, 3122008 and NA variants), 250 ES variants (e.g. 3122501, 3122502 and NA variants) and 243 ES variants (e.g. 3123001, 3123002); affected units have lot/serial numbers with more than 10 numbers, contact the manufacturer to confirm. The recall is due to a potential motor shaft breakage combined with reduced single fault safety system performance that in rare double-fault cases has allowed the lift strap to lower more quickly than expected. Contact the manufacturer if you require additional information.

The hazard
Baxter Corporation is issuing an urgent medical device correction for the Likorall™ ceiling-mounted overhead patient lift system due to a potential issue involving motor shaft breakage combined with reduced performance of the single fault safety (SFS) system. In rare cases where a double fault failure occurs simultaneously, with both a motor shaft breakage and reduced SFS system performance, customers have reported instances of the lift strap lowering more quickly than expected during use.
