The FDA announced on June 19, 2026, that Ferno-Washington Inc is recalling the Power F2 Powered Fastening System due to potential roller wear and deformation. The agency said the hazard may cause delays in patient transport if the rail mechanism becomes lodged.
How to tell if you have it
- Brand: Ferno-Washington
- Product: Power F2 Powered Fastening System, Product No. 0567091
- Serial Numbers: 25C227687 through 26C235698 (as listed in record)

The hazard
The product may experience accelerated roller wear and potential deformation due to interference between the roller assembly and rail. In the worst-case condition, the rail mechanism may become lodged during operation, making movement of the stretcher along the rail impossible through either powered or manual operation. This may cause delays in transport of patient to healthcare facility.
