Arjo Tenor Patient Lift Recall: Risk of Uncontrolled Drop
Recall of Arjo Tenor mobile passive patient lifts (models KHA1000 US and KHA1010 US) due to potential actuator failure causing uncontrolled drop. Affected units have specific serial numbers.
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.
